And you’re not wrong with saying our defence was, and still is, a mess.

Ekblad was great this year prior to the injury.

With the Sabres top 3 pick this year they need to take the BPA regardless of position. We’ll see how it works out I guess

- Pegullaville


Generally defenseman take 3/4 years before making a difference in an organization.

Maybe short sighted, but if go forward

I think so, while also saying Beady's got a small cock.

If the powers that be feel power is the best prospect, I don’t blame them for taking him over a forward. I personally would draft a forward as I see them relatively equal, Beniers or eklund would be my choice. That’s really my whole point. We might look decent on d, but we’re still a ways from competing. Best player available every time

Cole Caufield replaces Eric Staal in the lineup. That 3rd and a 5th is looking pretty good.

From Captain Jack to Captain Rasmus? What to do With Rasmus Ristolainen?
The Sabres will need to have strengths somewhere on the team and it’s possible that it’s on defense. If the defense is fully healthy next year and If Jake McCabe returns, he could form a very formidable tandem with Ristolainen on the top pair. These two were off to a hot start before McCabe went down to injury.

There are many shortfalls in Ristolainen’s game, but at the end of the day, his intensity and work ethic on the team is unmatched. He’s a leader in the locker room as well. In hindsight, the Sabres handing the "C" to Jack Eichel probably represents everything wrong with the team, and if Eichel is gone, the Sabres need to change that mentality. Ristolainen has earned the "C", and if he is still here, he should be the next captain.

His value will likely not fetch a return that is astronomical and they may struggle to get a first rounder for him. The best thing to do here is to hold on to him, and use him as a key veteran leader on the team. See how the 2021-22 season plays out, and then trade him at the 2022 deadline if the season goes south.

Either way with Ristolainen on the roster, the Sabres could have a solid defense next year with Ristolainen and McCabe on the top pair, and Dahlin with Jokiharju on the second pair. If the Sabres draft a defenseman like Owen Power, it’s possible he competes right away for a roster spot. I wouldn’t be stunned to see the Sabres acquire a veteran defenseman in free agency like Alec Martinez to help bring the younger guys along like Will Borgen, Mattias Samuelson, and Jacob Bryson

😂😂😂
Your love for Risto is only rivaled by your hate for Reinhart
Risto has admitted to not really caring if he’s traded, with rumors he doesn’t wanna be here & would even welcome a trade
*that’s not “captain material”
Not to mention, he’s got 1year left till he’s UFA
And it sure seems a heck of a lot more likely that he’ll be gone instead of staying

I like Risto too,
but u can’t even consider naming him Captain....
especially if your plan is to trade him at the deadline!!!
And even then, he’s still probably not a great choice

Just bc he bangs ppl around, doesn’t mean he’s a “leader”

Good chance we are Captain-less next season

Judging by Beady’s analogy he sounded like he was speaking from experience but couldn’t pull it off.

I for one leave the cork soaking to the wifey.

Yeah and I was right about Leon being Malkin 2.0.

Kind of sad how the Pegulas could have let me and Gerbe run our last 8 drafts and we would have been in a better spot than the smucks they paid millions of dollars too.

I would have done it for free too.

Ennnnnt. Wrong again Flacccoville. Just because he is one of the two or three actually capable of bringing any comedic value to this typical witless boring blog doesn’t mean he is me.

I started a gofundme to send Ristolainen to the Kings cause the Pegulas spent all their cash on a boat. If everyone chips in, we can send him, same day shipping.

Could be, depending on what happens, cause it's basically all talk right now. If Jack leaves and Sam stays I would give it to Rhino. Granato said Sam does a lot behind the scenes people don't see.
