They play 16 games ?

If you think the bills will only win six games I can’t imagine what you think of the Sabres record.

That is a great story.

Well apparently this Detroit writer thinks it’s possible. https://thehockeywriters.com/red-wings-sabres-ristolainen-trade-potential/

I don’t think we can land Ehlers. Roslovic is an iadequate return. Chevy is a very sharp GM and will not make many bad moves I think Detroit is an option with either Mantha or Athenasoiu coming back

A 2C isn’t happening. Hopefully a 2RW but Ristolainen doesn’t currently hold huge value.

You need to watch Outlander. It’s historical fiction with time travel. POSs the best thing I’ve ever watched on TV

Also the leafs will have Nylander playing a full year

The leafs are much improved with Tyson Barrie. He’s going to have a monster year.

This has the makings of another idiotic Botteril trade. We trade a good player and an intense competitor for garbage.

Well now Ristolainen is definitely not headed to Tampa.

How many of Okposo’s points were on the power play? That’s another spot I never want to see him again.

?. I don’t want Okposo on the team let alone the top line. He is 4th liner at best. Vesey is a 3rd liner. Olofsson is a rookie so putting him the top line may not be the best idea.

Who is the RW on Eichels line?

Botteril is not going to buy anyone out. He doesn’t believe in it. Also no one is giving us a 2 C for Ristolainen and garbage.

I just don’t think that Bogo, Scandella and Risto have significant value. Our collection of 4th liners is not really attractive either. I don’t know how he dumps the excess baggage let alone get us a second forward line. I suspect we are headed again to have 3 top 6 players.

That lineup is an indictment of Botteril. If that is truly our lineup Botteril should be fired immediately.

Turris has a terrible contract. I don’t want him unless a lot of salary is retained

I don’t see anyway Edmonton gives up RNH. I think the Rangers will have to move some salary to get under the cap. I’m not sure what we would want from the Rangers.

Does anyone here think we won’t be in the lottery next year? Unfortunately I don’t feel Ristolainen has the value to return a top 6 forward. So we are deficient at RW and C. The Athletic says we’re due for 2 additional wins and I agree.

Botteril is just as bad if not worse. Murray acquired 4 top 6 forwards. Botteril with his incompetence proceeded to dump 2 of them with minimal return. Currently we only have 3 top 6 forwards and we are headed back to the lottery again.

Exactly how do you propose we dump Okposo?

Edmonton needs offense as well. I don’t think they trade RNH unless we give them a substantial plus

I agree that Peg would have to give more. I doubt Tyler Johnson waives his NTC.

Cirelli is not being traded from Tampa. Tyler Johnson is a possibility if Tampa ever offered Cirelli for Ristolainen straight up, Botteril do it instantly We need to discuss more realistic trades for Ristolainen I think a trade to Winnipeg for Roslovic and Perreault is likely or possibly Ehlers
