To be fair I’ve seen Risto linked to the Flyers, Penguins, Habs, Oilers, Canucks just in the last 24 hours from various sources.

Hopefully patience is a virtue.

Either that or dumbo is overplaying his hand

The pressure is on now for Adams to justify losing Borgen to protect Risto.

He clearly didn't have a deal lined up in advance seeing as it's been 6 hours since the trade freeze lifted

Let’s all be honest had he left risto unprotected and he got selected people would have been up in arms about losing a player that we have had on our roster for 6 years for nothing. It’s a never emding female dog fest

Is there more Proudness in the locker room after the expansion draft and all the trades so far?

Not me, but I also believe JB and Co. would have taken Miller or Gus over the pricy Risto

Surprised Risto is still here.
- Buff36


I was told to be patient and not get upset at losing Borgen cause Mr. Adams must of had a good reason to keep Risto instead

68/68 Risto! Freaking love it! Reider must be trilled

4 straight home games to open the season, that should be interesting.

I don’t know. Maybe Miller but I doubt gus. He is more grossly overpaid than risto

One thing is for sure: we'll never know now.

Maybe Adams gets a sweet return.

I am actually really upset, I liked Borgen. Brought some edge to a team that desperately needs it.

Yeah I really put on my captain obvious hat for that one.

We'll see. Adams can still make that decision look good

Let’s hope he does.

But there is that old adage about 💩 in one hand and hoping in the other

Don’t shoot the messenger, could be completely full of crap, but Jimmy Hayes did play in the NHL so maybe he knows something.

hopefully the roster improves by opening day.

Sloth style management has been viciously boring so far.

My favorite possibility at this point if Zeg+3 is unavailable

Just not the Rangers...

I mean apart from trading Mojo for Staal all Billy G has done for the most part is retain players from the previous regime.

Kaprisov coming over was a gift to him, other then that it’s Fletcher’s/Fenton’s roster for the most part.

So who really knows

He cleared this year's cap for a reason. It would have made a ton of sense for him to retain Suter for one more year and stagger the buyouts, but he didn't.

He wanted cap space now. He's going all in
