Just stop. Everyone bashing Risto needs to take the L. My god, if you are a Sabres fan you should be happy, not disgruntled because you’re wrong.
- Hatboro_Swords

There is no way to deny the thought of Risto being bad at defense. Every stat shows he is bad and even the eye test.

We won a trade. EXTREMELY HAPPY

I see that you have your tail between your legs, keyboard GM. Most Sabres fans are ecstatic, well should be about this deal and you and other Risto haters are pouting. Chin up.
- GilPerreault11

I dont see anybody pouting. Most are shocked.

99% of people around the NHL think this is a bad trade by Philly.

Fletcher being bad doesn't make Risto good.

the nightmare is over

well. That nightmare.
- TheSabresTaco

I think your scouting skills just got graded down a few notches keyboard GM. It's hard to evaluate a D playing top minutes on a crap team though so I would just let this one go and take the loss.

Once again, what is McCabes excuse ?

Are you being intentionally obtuse or are you clinically retarded ?

KA threw the lube aside and made them throw in a 2nd rounder too
- IndianaSabresFan

This is what happens when players are in demand
I bet we end up hearing there was at least 1 other team bidding on Risto

This is also why we should be hopeful about the returns we will get for Jack & Sam

Go Sabres!

Risto sucks when he doesnt have a defensive d-man.

He plays with McCabe he plays good.

McCabe is a defensive D-man.

Find him a partner and they'll dance.

Pair him with other guys that aren't the greatest in their own end he will struggle. He isn't the only Dman that's like that. If I did some research I could find countless Ristos out there.

At this point can't we say that the other Rasmus...if I'm Adam's I secure a defensive RD to play with him. I know he picked it up near the end but still....

Go smoke a J and relax.

No need for the R word.

The other teams were in the 20's so Philly won with 13 but that he also got the 23 2nd is what makes this trade even more satisfying.
- Leninthebuff

They may have been in the West like the Oilers though and the Sabres may have sent him there and taken their 1st over the Flyers higher 1st, not that I would have.

The moral of this story?

Let the off-season play out before losing your sh!t.

Would love Drysdale to play with him

This....So true.

Sabres have softened their ask for Risto.
- TheSabresTaco

Wow if this is true, wonder what their original ask was 🤣

Nonono Always lose your sh!t first.

Then re-access

Hi, just wanted to say hello to all the Risto sucks people and is worth sh*t and see how you are all doing? Good luck to Borgen who some thought the Sabres should have protected and just given Risto away for free.

KA won this one.
- GilPerreault11

👏👏👏
Great post!

Would love Drysdale to play with him

- DirtyDan

I would be tempted to trade Eichel and Reinhart as a package if it means Zegras, Drysdale, 3OA plus some other pieces.

1OA 3OA 13OA 32OA

Sabres would be a power house in 2-3 years.

If Adams gets what is speculated from Minny for Eichel today, there is only one question left to be asked. Who would win in a bare knuckle boxing match, Adams or Ditka? Daaaaaaaaaaa Bears

When a player plays on a dumpster fire team his analytics will tank. Logic says this but not the Chad cult, the Chad cult didn't take logic in college.

👏👏👏
Been saying the same basic thing for YEARS

I would be tempted to trade Eichel and Reinhart as a package if it means Zegras, Drysdale, 3OA plus some other pieces.

Sabres would be a power house in 2 years.
- sabresfan69

This is what i was saying earlier. Give em Olof with both of those guys take money back and be happy in 2 years

Wow if this is true, wonder what their original ask was 🤣
- jasonkelso89

A better player/prospect is my guess.

Impressive. Simply. Impressive.

For sure. He nailed it with that take

1st and 1st. Im wearing my Risto jersey.
- ImThatGuy

As a side note, he's probably thrilled to be out of here.

Adams did not get fleeced.

Zegras, Drysdale, 3rd overall, Comtois and Henrique
