Robert Hagg is a very physical defensemen, who takes himself out of plays, and can't pass a puck. He's a 3rd pair D with some PK time. So basically Buffalo found a way to get paid a 1st and 2nd to play Risto in the right spot finally. Oh... and saved 4 million while doing it.

LOL…. That’s funny
And very well could end up being accurate

Sure!

A few on here really like Hoglander from VAN too
Idk much about him though

- jdfitz77

Would love Boeser or Horvat but I don't think they fit the timeline it sounds like the sabres are aiming for.

Borgen probably is better than Risto.

this trade doesnt mean Risto is good.

For the sabres obviously.

To get Drysdale, Zegras, Comtois 3OA for Eichel + 32nd

From Anaheim is saying they don't even want to give up Zegras.

- sabresfan69


Reports out there that many teams are saying they don’t wanna give up their top prospect(s) for Eichel

I’m assuming they know they will in reality,
and all that BS is just a negotiating ploy

Höglander and 9 would be unlikely for Sam.

It would be an absolute heist but then again, we just saw one of those.

Let's see 2/2

Tells me RHDs are in high demand, and the Flyers paid a silly amount for two of them.

Yeah I don't think it would happen but man what a complete revamp on one day

Then get a goalie on the trade market and let Donnie piece it together

- Stripes77


And we will likely be getting a really high pick next year and in ‘23

Gives us a chance to build a winner
But we’ve gotta not screw it up this time!

The trade means Adams protected the right guy cause no way in hell Borgen is getting a 1st, 2nd and Hagg.

It’s all heresay, though Probably true, but guessing you never expected to get a 1st and 2nd for Risto either?? One never knows what demand will do

Let Borgen go dude. He played 14 games in Buffalo. I don't think anyone who only played 14 games, was 24 and a 4th round pick ever got this much damn love. It is really pathetic. It's like someone who can't let go of their GI Joe and they are 40 years old or something.

Shifty winger, good skater, on the smaller side but tons of offensive potential

Belief is Drury won't budge on adding certain players to Eichel deal, so it appears #Sabres working to squeeze other teams (presumably MIN/ANA/LA) for players they prefer over #NYR package.

Very fluid situation, but sounds like a game of chicken. I don't sense Drury will blink.
