Proposal: Puljujarvi + Gagner for Ristolainen

[gwh]

20th best player in the ... 5th? Best league in the world doesnt inspire too much confidence.

At least nobody is laughing at the EDM player development anymore overhere. Can't laugh in the funerals.

EDM will be happy to get any kind of trade value out of Pulju. He could have played pond hockey for 3 years and be a better player.

Would a trade like:

1st (Protected) + Manning ($2.25 Million cap dump, short term) + Gagner ($3.15 Million cap dump, short term) + Puljujarvi do something for you?

TBH, Edmonton doesn't have the horses to make anything happen with Risto. It doesn't make any sense for the Sabres to move him unless a legitimate top 6 forward (RW or C, strong preference for a right shot) is coming back, and Edmonton isn't exactly flush with those. Even then, Risto has started strong under Kruger, and the team has actually been getting scoring from a line that doesn't have Eichel on it. The Sabres are dealing from a position of strength here, and there's no reason for the team to make a move unless there's a clear reason to believe it makes us a better team. So, a real hockey trade.

 

[tapi]

A certified bust + ahler won't get Risto lol

Puljujarvi + Gagner for Ristolainen

Would do Puljujarvi + Gagner for Ristolainen?

Would do Puljujarvi + Gagner for Ristolainen?



What do YOU think of Puljujarvi + Gagner for Ristolainen?

Lmfao.

Try again...if the Sabres wanted garbage in return, a trade would be done by now.

 

[DJN21]

This is a really bad proposal OP, sorry man.

 

[Captain Mountain]

Risto isn't great, but that offer is straight up garbage.

 

[Shnooks]

Buffalo takes this and runs. Puljujarvi would be their 4th best forward.

He wouldn't even make the team...he wouldn't even be their 13th forward, or their 15th for that matter.

Rasmus Asplund is better than him.

Oilers aren’t gonna trade Puljujärvi for a cap dump.

A Canucks fan making fun of the Sabres, that's f***ing rich.

 

[Shnooks]

Pulju is the 20th best scorer in the Finnish league after 9 games. Currently tied with these fellows:

Juho Lammikko at eliteprospects.com
Justin Danforth at eliteprospects.com

Justin Danforth couldn't cut it in the AHL (with Rochester)...that says A LOT about Puljujarvi.

Another wasted draft pick by Edmonton.

Says a lot about EDM to turn the the current holder of WJC20 scoring record at 17 into a "Danfort" class player.

Hopefully Pulju can be recovered with some actual coaching.

 

[AndreRoy]

Sabres fans drastically overrate Risto’s value but he is worth more than the likes of Pulju and Gagner. Risto for all his faults is at least an NHL player.

 

[Djp]

Counter will Okposo for mcdavid....

 

[thadd]

I'm legit confused.
How is that even a trade proposal?
I know Risto is a fall cry from what people expected him to turn into but this lack of value proposal is insulting to say the least.
Puljujarvi is playing in Europe because nobody wants to offer anything worth Edmonton's while for him and you're pairing HIM with Gagner, who is playing in the AHL this year.... REEEEEEEEEEALY?

Yeah pretty nasty proposal.

 

[Fooladelfia]

Very bad offer lol EASport offers lol

Huh? Edmonton can't acquire a #4 dman thats god awful defensively? Im sure if the Sabres could get RNH, Nurse, Klefbom or Bouchard for him they take it and run. Heck if they got Yamamota or Benson + a pick they would be ecstatic.

 

[kihei]

I can't imagine any GM being so stupid as to accept this deal for Risto.

 

[King1s]

I don't want Ristolainen at all.

 

[Ragdoll]

Well if this isn’t a horrific offer then I don’t know what is. You’d have trouble finding takers for Jesse + Sam for nothing let alone trying to get actual assets. Close this

 

[Derg12]

I wouldn't trade a full tray of Bocce Club for Pool poop party.

 

[TheTwelfth]

I'd love to see Puljujarvi on the Sabres.

I dont think Sabres trades away Risto to Edmonton without (at least) Nugent-Hopkins going the other way.

I dont think Edmonton will ever consider trading RNH.

 

[innitfam]

That's shockingly terrible for the Sabres.

 

[valet]

no

 

[McShogun99]

This offer is a little to lopsided. The Oilers should throw in Manning to make this more even.

 

[Cogburn]

Gagner and Puuljujarvi combined have at best neutral value. One is a cap dump, the other is not playing into the league after some spotty development over the last few years. High risk, high reward would be a euphemism I will use here.

Ristolainen is still a valuable player.

Am I missing something here?

 

[BudBundy]

I dont much care for Risto, I’m an Oilers fan, and even I recognize it’s a stinker of an OP tilted heavily in Edmontons favour. Even if Puljujarvi plays well in Liiga, we’d have to sweeten an offer much more especially if we are including a cap dump for Risto (and we’d need to for cap space).

 

[Hockey Stick]

Wow that's a bad trade. Pulijarvi cant fetch much of anything and Gagner is just a cap dump
