EK just said Buffalo isn't getting any traction in a Eichel deal. Either has to drop his price or Eichel needs a clean bill of health.

Dreger on The Instigators says Winnipeg would love Ristolainen for nothing

Montreal, Edmonton and Vancouver have all been interested as well, if the price is low enough

I don't know about everyone else but I'm willing to wait as long as it takes for the Sabres to get their asking price on Eichel. I lived through the Tank. I sure as hell can live through a disgruntled Eichel.

Are you seriously comparing football trades to hockey trades?
- RichardRoma


A example of what a competent GM looks like. 3 years to Girgs? 2 year to Eakin. Reider? 3 year to Thompson. 1 year to Reinhart? 0 NHL goalies

Yes no way to trade in the NHL

That's the point though. They didn't have side deals, so they're hoping one or more of those guys pull a Wild Bill. poop, their other side deal with Fla got them 2 of their top line in Marchessualt and Reilly Smith who was solid up until this year. Sea didn't do that either. I'm not saying that they can't be good, but it's not anything like what Vegas did.

This. The Knights are the luckiest expansion franchise in NHL history. They got lucky with more restrictions being put on the number of players teams can protect, lucky that Pittsburgh decided to expose MAF, lucky that they were able to swing a trade with Florida for Marchessault (a 30 goal scorer, by the way) and lucky that William Karlsson went from being a nobody to a 46-goal scorer in his first year on their top line.

You can’t even let it get that far. Eichel needs to go.

I hope they keep Risto and make him Captain. It’s funny his haters point to his offense as the one thing he is good at. What? Skating the puck below the goal line and giving it away must qualify as a high danger scoring chance. Let’s see how the other best dmen in the league that have to answer the bell every time a top line gets on the ice compare. Risto will go to another team and make it look like Sabres fell on their face like they did in ROR trade.

Yep, when 24 hates a guy, they are usually a very good sabre.

I still have a feeling risto is a trade deadline guy.

The fact that donnie played Samuelson late in the season, basically giving away ristos minutes, worries me.

How many young defenseman can a team have without viking leadership?

Since 2010, the Sabres have had just three players drafted outside the first round play at least 70 games for them: Victor Olofsson (7, 2014), Jake McCabe (2, 2012) and Linus Ullmark (6, 2012)

this has to change if this team wants to go anywhere...

Trade for what goalie?

Expose a 500 game player to keep a bottom pair 6 year developed 6th round pick? Thats real smart.

Whatever kool aid im drinking aint compare to the poop your drinking

- DirtyDan


Wait pretty sure Redwings just traded for goalie from Carolina? Wait that didnt happen. Trading is impossible for Buffalo?

We hired a analytics guru and kept 68/68 Risto. Please explain

Other teams fans talk about how we have to move him because it'll be bad for our locker room.

They don't realize how much us Sabres fans have invested in Eichel. If they don't get a great return for Eichel, Adams and especially the Pegulas are in trouble. Saying that the fans would riot/mutiny would be an understatement

Kahlua milkshakes and will see how that goes, and then later in the afternoon maybe 7 and 7's, don't want to pass out before the draft starts.😏😏

Necas, Jarvis, 1st is a better play for them. And doubt they'd do that.

What do you want them to do? Trade for MAF or Price?
