If Risto is Tyler Myers then he's a good deal

The vaccines are going to continue to protect the vaccinated, the problem will lie with the unvaccinated who will become much sicker much faster from the new variants. The question is going to be, how much f*cking around and finding out will the government allow before we end up doing another short shutdown (4-6 weeks?) to give people who haven't been vaxxed one last opportunity to do so? How many unvaxxed people reaping what they've sown is too many?

I'm not sure he's a starter? Dreidger is a guy you pick up if you think you're definitely getting Ullmark back.

I think, given who might be protected by the various teams, our options are: Robin Lehner Jake Allen One of the CBJ goalies Holtby

I'm inclined to agree. It would suck to lose him in FA for nothing, but I'd rather nail down the starting goalie situation. So in that case, let's get a real number 1 in that spot.

The Sabres are in a really tough spot here. Either they bring in a bonfide #1 and Ullmark says see ya later in FA, or you bring in someone more middling and risk having them end up being your #1 if Ullmark decides to walk away anyway. Ullmark being unsigned right now is a huge problem.

I really don't think this is as necessary as you think it is.

Skinner was declining before Krueger even got here.

Unless you know who Seattle is going to take and it doesn't matter if you protect him right now. I think Risto is still worth more to other NHL GMs than us fans think. The old boys club still likes players like Risto a lot.

I don't see any reason to expose Risto. A lot of us don't like him, but given his contract situation he still has value. If he leaves it shouldn't be for nothing.

Smart work by Adams

We're trading them Rick James for Prince.

People should stop f*cking around then.

Minny can have Eichel, but they gotta take Bofa in return

Vanishing Point

You're not alone. I just can't see Jack being the thing they need to be contenders.

Are they that good? I feel like they're pretty mediocre. I can't imagine Jack puts them any closer to contention.

Jack getting traded to the 2012 Sabres of the Western conference would be awful though.

Holy moly. That's a lot of money to buy out. Wow.

Rinne retiring makes me feel old. Miller retiring was one thing, he was a rookie when I was still a teenager. But Rinne came in later and now he's done too? I must be getting to that time in my life.

I hate how good that looks

Somewhere Darcy Regier is screaming "the market is set!" into a pillow.

My sources say the Sabres are on the brink of a deal to trade Jack Eichel to the Kings for two firsts and the entire GDP of the Los Angeles Metro area.

That's stupid for Keith. Does this mean Risto is worth a 1st?

Yup. I'm not interested in the Sabres killing themselves to get Kyle off the books if he can play okay hockey for another couple seasons.
