  1. This type of thinking keeps teams in the bottom of the league. Hall was considered an elite winger at the time of the trade, there were warning signs about Risto. This wasn’t moving Hedman, Karlsson or even Dahlin for a winger. What’s borderline insane is the fact that two GMs passed on making deals to improve the team. And the conversations on Hall would have taken place before the draft as the trade happened a week later. Therefore a defenseman would have been higher draft priority. Drafting Sergachev or McAvoy instead of Nylander is an instantaneous improvement over Risto.
  2. Not trading a player who is the best of the worst for an elite winger is horrible asset management. I expect Dahlin to declare what type of player he is in the next season or two. I have zero desire to trade him, but if there isn’t improvement I would be curious about what offers are out there. Actually what isn’t a great look is a ten year playoff drought and an 18 game losing streak. Someone should have told 5’9” Jacob Bryson who was one of the first players into the scrum and the officials who kept the ensuing face off in the Philadelphia Zone.
  3. Simple they can use the cap space to acquire a good player or two. He doesn’t drive offense and it doesn’t matter how many minutes he plays he as those aren’t very good. He looked great with McCabe, but post Covid he back to his old metrics Risto will be a case study in future for generations to learn from. The Sabres allowed a flawed asset to depreciate to the point where it’s value is minimal. An MVP Level Taylor Hall and Ehlers are at least two players that they passed up on by not moving him. I hope they do not the same with Jokiharju or Dahlin if they do not progress. Wil Borgen who actually will fight is also a physical defenseman. Against The Flyers when Skinner was drawing some after the whistle activity, three of the other Sabres on the ice in the Philadelphia Zone joined the scrum. The only one who didn’t was Risto. So what good is His Physicality if he doesn’t use it in that situation?

  5. There are reports that the Canucks Medical Staff has needed to go to the residences of some players and administer IV Fluids
  6. Any trade that makes the team better must be considered. This includes the 5.4 Million in Cap Space that would come Seattle selecting him in the expansion draft
  7. Is Quinn a healthy scratch for Rochester Tonight?
  8. At one point this week, 5 of My Covid Patients were younger than me.
  9. I’m so sorry to hear this, I have seen this happen too many times in the past year.
  10. Actually that was in regards to Mike Honcho’s Mom being reluctant to get vaccinated. My Parents were vaccinated in February, I didn’t give them a choice 😬 My Wife got Her First Dose of Moderna Yesterday. We live in Buffalo and she went from being scheduled for Her Vaccine in Corning, To Rochester and to finally getting it in Lockport in 18 hours.
  11. I think they are waiting for Rutherford to decide. Karmanos seems like a done deal They could also be finalizing other members besides the two that were mentioned and want to announce them all at once
