Speculation: 2018-2019 Trade Deadline

[Fabiobest]

I mean - we have one RD under contract for next season, so this is one of those "hockey trades" rather than a pure rental.

Like I said - I think it'd be intriguing. Risto has a good shot and can play physical. He can't move the puck particularly well, but seeing him on a good defensive unit properly slotted instead of as a shutdown #1 (which is way over his head) is intriguing.

Probably you're right and I'm impressed from the last game we've played against the Sabres...And I remember what Risto did on Kucherov xD xD
In case, btw, I hope, BriseBois won't pay for him a too high price.

Maybe a 2020 1st + prospect + dump, and maybe a conditional pick based on postseason success?

So like - 2020 1st + Katchouk/Raddysh + Callahan (Buffalo is almost assuredly not on his NT list) for Risto. That'd be a price I could swallow, although it makes this offseason even more complicated.

"Won't seem to go away"? As in there's been speculation before? This is the first time I've heard of this.

Same here. Didn't even know he was available

So, 2 prospects + a vet like Callahan...mah...let's see what happens...I've some doubts about it.

It feels like a shot in the dark and this guy a) isn't even a Buffalo reporter, and b) certainly ain't Friedman/McKenzie.

You think Foote or Sergachev would go the other way in a Ristolainen deal?

Lol f*** no. We wouldn't give them up for McDonagh, we certainly wouldn't for f***ing Ristolainen.

 

[BowDownToVasilevskiy]

Agreed, I would expect him to have rumors on the Blues but not the Sabres. Maybe he does have some Sabres connections though

 

[BowDownToVasilevskiy]

Lol **** no. We wouldn't give them up for McDonagh, we certainly wouldn't for ****ing Ristolainen.

Thought so. I would imagine Buffalo would try to ask for Sergachev or Foote but would expect JBB to say no

 

[The Gongshow]

I don't think Buffalo parts ways with Risto tbh. Seems so out of the blue.

I still think they look into an offer for Simmonds and not much else. I was hoping they'd try and get Panerin but CBJ are going for a run and probably won't trade him. Plus it would be too expensive, I would have been fine with a rental Panarin though to really put us over the edge, would be totally worth it if it led us to a Cup

Based on @andystrickland report, I’ve heard rumblings the #Sabres are offering Ristolainen, Mittlestadt, and 2 first round picks(this year) for Point and Callahan. Tampa is deciding if it’s worth to get rid of a star in Point #TampaBay #Sabres

Sure let's trade our 1C away for futures since I'd much rather win the Cup in 5 years than, say, this year.

 

[Lord Stan 2020]

That account is not verified and has about 800 followers, so much for that "Sabres insider".

Risto makes more sense than either Simmonds or McQuaid. At least this guy could play a role for us, and we could keep him next year when Stralman most likely walks. He wouldn't be over his head here like he is in Buffalo. Most likely a 3rd pairing role, or maybe next to Hedman, but Hedman's not dealing with the tough assignments anymore.

So, for this playoffs, we'd be looking at:

Hedman - Ristolainen
McDonagh - Cernak
Sergachev - Stralman
(Coburn, Girardi; with Coburn likely swapping in if Sergachev gets overwhelmed.)

Everybody gets a babysitter, and, if Risto can't handle it, we swap him with Stralman.

Next year:

Hedman - Ristolainen
McDonagh - Cernak
Sergachev - Foote/Cheap UFA

...It definitely makes a bit of sense. Does make us a better team than we are now. Rock solid on all three pairs for this coming post-season, with safety nets (Stralman, Coburn) in place.

one issue karlsson IS COMING lol bank it my friend i have.... is just the rest is a little up in air why i said maybe we looking at nelson at 825 for this year and next he would make sense for sixth man righty if we gonna keep foote down for sure another year

i also got point 3 years 7milly or less and straws maybe even a year by year but i think 3 years 4 milly or less
