I want Billy Guerin to win this contest
- Hank Balling


The best option bar none is the Ducks. That guarantees a top 5 pick this year and a top 10 next year (should that be included). While I dont see them giving up 2 #1s for JE, I think that is who we should be giving priority to based on that alone.

Sabres have softened their ask for Risto.

Sorry, but we’ve elevated from interesting to intriguing about 4 days ago.

I've said this from the beginning and once traded the surgery issue goes away. Eichel may have wanted to cause the controversy to get traded but he also gave teams a reason to be cautious or he may have been traded by now. Not because he wants out but I think the guy is an immature POS as a person.

Wouldn't it be karma to for him to get traded and end up with a season ending injury early in the season!!!

Not saying this because he is on his way out but I always hated his body language. He should have never have been captain.

Well let the day play out, even if they had parameters of trades worked out they probably won't release them until the either the pick comes up or closer to the draft. Who knows maybe someone comes in with a better offer.

Never heard this before. Thought we had a deal for 68/68 Risto? Fax machine broke I guess.

Def being a debbie downer but at some point it just get ridiculous. All Iv heard is wait for the last 10 years.

right.

Just get something that will eventually have a role in the NHL and move the (frank) on.

Praying for the Oilers to trade for him. I need ultimate chaos.

Hes put a good crew around him.

You don't have to like Adams but you cannot deny the group he has around him now.

They should have no problems building the team they think they need.

Hire analytics guru. Keep 68/68 Risto. Pretty sure Kim is making all the decisions

He or his agent is (frank)ing stupid to lower his value by being a female dog this offseason. He would have been WAY better off to play this year and then choose where he wanted to go when his NTC became effective. That would guarantee he had input on where he went as well as screwed the Sabres by getting lower draft picks and less leverage in the trade, thereby going to a better team who had to give up less assets to acquire him, as well as limit the Sabres first round picks to those later in the first round - if he really wanted to rub it in our faces.

run on sentence and I repeated myself - I know

Wonder if it’s because they want everything revealed at the draft itself.

Friedman hasn’t said anything for a while

Dreger on The Instigators says Winnipeg would love Ristolainen.

Montreal, Edmonton and Vancouver have all been interested as well.

Dreger seems to think it's easy the Sabres will get a 1st rounder for Risto. Sabres asking a 1st +. I've never seen more 180° viewpoints on a player.

I mean we have waited this long right. If Adams can squeeze any more leverage he has as the deadline gets ever so closer by the minute then I can make logical sense of it.

I’ll reserve judgement until 12 P.M tonight.

I’ll be pretty blackout by then anyways
