That's the only thing that gives me pause from the Edmonton side. From a value perspective, the players are about even but the one thing that makes me think it could happen is Edmonton also has a track record of making less than ideal trades.

I know Tampa is the sexy thought of where to send Risto since they have a ton of talented forwards and with our abundance of LW I have to wonder if Botts makes a blockbuster trade instead of a one for one, but the thought of Risto for Nugent-Hopkins just seems to work. They make nearly the same, RNH isn't that much older than Risto, and he'd be a perfect 2C for us and allow Casey to be the 3C he needs to be right now. I wouldn't be surprised if that's one of the moves.

With the arbitrations pending, do the Sabres even have any cap room left?

Thank you guys. I've been on this site for many years as just a reader/lurker but when I saw this thread I knew I had to finally post!

Great list so far! Some of the artists on the list could go 5 songs deep, 10 deep, 20 deep or more- just so many great tracks. I have many thousands on my new wave playlist. But here are some essential tracks/artists I didn't yet see here: Style Council - My Ever Changing Moods Dramarama - Anything Bryan Ferry - Kiss and Tell Blow Monkeys - Digging Your Scene The Church - Unguarded Moment Lloyd Cole - Rattlesnakes Danny Wilson - Mary's Prayer Specials - Ghost Town Go Betweens - Streets of Your Town Housemartins - Happy Hour Devo - Whip It or Girl You Want Split Enz- I Got You Gang of Four - I Love a Man in Uniform or At Home He's a Tourist Altered Images - I Could Be Happy or Happy Birthday or See Those Eyes Cocteau Twins - Sugar Hiccup Heaven 17 - Let Me Go Naked Eyes - Always Something There To Remind Me Kajagoogoo - too shy Bronski Beat - Why Trans-X - Living on Video Erasure - Chains of Love Killing Joke - Eighties Jesus & Mary Chain - Head On Camper Van Beethoven - Take the Skinheads Bowling Sinead O Connor - Mandinka 10,000 Maniacs - Like The Weather - or are 10,000 Maniacs not new wavy enough? I dunno, I saw you had REM in there. I can see why you'd cut off around 87 because by then New Wave was starting to transition into Alternative and College Rock.
