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.

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!

Clubs with interest offering 1st round picks were informed earlier their pick wasnโ€™t high enough. Picks in the top 20, hence Philly was the right fit.

Thatโ€™s fine
Wasnโ€™t a big fan of what NyR had to offer anyways

ANA, LA & MIN have the prospects i like the best

Has anyone heard much on Reinhart? That has been quiet, too quiet.

Risto is still bad at hockey regardless of what a bad GM gave up for him.

Either of them and cozens are an awesome 1a/b center situation.

Cant have 2 opinions on here. Will get bashed.

There really is no way to defend Risto with the stats he has. All there are are excuses.

Philli thinks they just need Risto to be put in the right situation with less minutes I guess. But after paying what they did they must think he is a 1st pair D

Good luck with that. We tried that for 8 years

- ZiggyBuff



Seriously, a defenseman with 240+ points in 500 games.

Those are stats ziggy

Why are you ignoring that?

Cool, I hope they get what they want for him and that they get another first but I want a top ten for him and Calgary doesn't have that.

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.

Hagg or borgen ? Who's better?

Was hagg protected?

Third team would be involved. Again not likely just forwarding what I heard on that.
BINGO!

Borgen probably is better than Risto.

this trade doesnt mean Risto is good.
