I'll give you Colby rasmus for free. He played for the jays so that's somewhat of a homecoming.

 

[Howie Hodge]

Rasmus Dahlin, Rasmus Ristolainen, and Rasmus Asplund.

I think we're good with our Rasmus's, actually........

 

[cramdizzl]

This is something I would do... have done in a fantasy league.

Get it done Botterill

 

[Uberpecker]

go to sleep

I'm trying!

 

[DatDude44]

Now draft Rasmus Sandin and trade for Michael Rasmussen?

 

[Potty John]

How about Nylander and Pu for Rasmus Andersson and Michael Frolik

 

[Uberpecker]

Rasmus Dahlin, Rasmus Ristolainen, and Rasmus Asplund.

There's no way you can ever have enough Rasmus.

 

[Howie Hodge]

There's no way you can ever have enough Rasmus.

We shall see quite soon!

 

[DJJones]

I love Andersson but has Nylander really fallen that far off projection? I really haven't been paying attention to him.

 

[Owen Doty]

give us reinhart, and we'll give you andersson

 

[ManwithNoIdentity]

Now draft Rasmus Sandin and trade for Michael Rasmussen?

Sure if the Rasmus you're giving us in return is Dahlin

I want to say that the Sabres don’t need to be targeting a rookie LHD like Andersson and they should be targeting an experienced RHD but this thread was made as a joke so I won’t say that.

I value Andersson quite highly, so offering Nylander doesn't mean the latter is bad.
That being said, Nylander's development has been somewhat pedestrian. Elite tools, underwhelming to mediocre AHL play combined with good world juniors and promising cups of coffee in the NHL.
Guy is all of 20 years old, though.

Being a Buffalo fan I rarely get to leave the dungeon of agony, so yes, winning the lottery may have infused the creation of this thread with a dash of exuberance.
I do, however, think that Andersson could be indeed a good pick-up for the Sabres and that Nylander does make sense for the Flames (elite right shot FWD).

Andersson has nowhere to play though. I mean you have Scandella and Dahlin who are realistically, for better or worse, going to be your top two LD for next season. Andersson won’t supplant either of them. He could play third pairing but at that point a more pressing issue is a 2RD or more forward help. I mean, Eichel and O’Reilly can’t do everything. Even if Bennett steps up that’s where the offense stops. If Nylander isn’t working out, trade him, sure, but it’d be more useful to trade him in a package of some sort for a position of need.

Andersson is a RD

 

[Shootica]

I like the fit here. Andersson is stuck behind a logjam in Calgary, and they're in search of right shot wingers. Buffalo has a hole to fill on the right side, and I think Andersson is a stud and would make a great 2nd pairing guy behind Risto.

That being said, I'm a bit hesitant about giving up on such a highly touted prospect so quickly when Andersson's upside isn't nearly as high. And we need wingers just as much if not more than we need defensemen.

Which side should be adding to this and by how much?

Andersson is a RHD, no? We don't have that many of those outside of Risto. And Reinhart (I assume that's who you mean with Bennett; Sam and all, I know has been REALLY good for the latter half of last season. Like P/G good.
Add Mittelstadt, an emerging Rodrigues and one or the other wildcard (Olofsson, O'Regan, Smith,...) to the mix and BUF's top 6 looks quite presentable.

 

[HaNotsri]

I’d be willing to add to Nylander. Rasmus would be the perfect pick up. Our RHD pipeline is really bad. Will Borgen and that’s it.

You know what, that doesn't sound awful to me at all.
Frolik's caphit is a factor, though, and I may or may not have had a couple of beers tonight, so I reserve the right to change my mind in the morning.

As I stand corrected. I thought Andersson was the LD and Kylington was the RD. I'll show myself out.

What is the situation with Adam Fox? He could also be a player of interest.
