    That 1st is a heavy price, but it looks like getting NHL-ready D is costly this deadline. I love the move, though.

    I'm intrigued as to what is next. Is Risto really a piece to move now? And if so, we need a D prospect coming back, just like we gave up Guhle for Montour. If defense really is so pricey this deadline, then Risto for a top-6 F plus a top D prospect (1st round pick).

    There are holes on this team that need to be fixed, obviously. They're still a ways away from being serious contenders. Ristolainen isn't one of the problems.  I'm not liking where this is going.

  2. Risto might not be the elite superstar we hoped he would turn out to be. Of course he's still young and I think he has yet to hit his prime. But, he is an elite athlete who can play serious minutes without tiring. He's in the top 20 in D-man scoring. He plays all aspects of the game. He's 12th in D-man hits. And while not elite, he is well above average and certainly still has the potential to become elite. 

    The Sabres defense is pathetic. You don't go getting rid of somebody with the talent of Risto when you can't get your defense working right in the first place. Guys like Risto don't come around very often. Work on the rest of the defense, leave Risto be. Re-signing Bogo next year is imperative. McCabe, Risto, Dahlin and Bogo are a great core. The Sabres need to do some serious work on #5,6 and 7 D-men.

    Expecting to see a lot of action in this thread tonight/tomorrow.

     

    You're not wrong. We didn't know how good we had it back in the Lindy Ruff for life years

    Remember when the Bills fired Wade Phillips because he couldn't take the team past the wild card game? 

    Similar situation, ain't it?
