Yeah I’m not sure why an undersized, 7th round pick who benefitted supremely from his college linemates, would think there is a spot for him carved out in the NHL.
This isn’t Cole Makar or Tory Krug.
I like Risto. I like his offensive abilities and his physical play. I’m still not sure that translates into a good hockey player. Can he be a good hockey player? Maybe. Not sure I want the Sabres to be the guinea pigs.
Reinhart was 1000% the safer pick. No one knew what the hell the “German Gretzky” was going to be. People act like he was demonstrably better than the other prospects. Let’s just be glad we didn’t draft Bennett, who I was a fan of at the time.
It’s stunning and hysterical. How ***** awful was Ralph? Holy ***** he sucks moose balls. I’m embarrassed that the franchise let that snake oil salesman ruin our ***** team.
