Is there a deal to be had around Ehlers and Copp for Ristolainen, Montour, Miller, Mittelstadt, Tage Thompson, D prospects (Borgen, Johnson, Samuelsson), picks, etc. ?
Before you say those D-men are crap, keep in mind Montour was very highly thought of and was traded for a 1st round pick and a B-level prospect (Brandon Ghule) and that virtually every player that leaves Buffalo ends up looking like the player they should be (O'Reily, Kane, Lehner, Bogosion, etc.)
Montour was used on his off-hand last season with rotating D-partners cause our inept GM Botterill overloaded the roster with Right handed D-men.
I have no doubt that Risto, Montour, Miller, or anyone else that's traded out of Buffalo ends up looking like a star...
Anyway, untouchables are Eichel, Dahlin, and Cozens.
