And it really depends what you think of Risto. It's hard for me to judge straight up, but I'd rather pay Montour $3.5M than Risto $5.5M. I'll take Risto and the offense personally. Plus Montour isn't going to be making $3.5M for long Edited February 25, 2019 by WildCard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much better defensively/muh better hockey IQ than either of them. Solid solid trade. Guhle was never a JB guy and those late 1st are a bit hit or miss and the 2019 draft is supposed to have a sever dropoff after the high teens anyway Then I think we're saying buh-bye to either Risto or McCabe. Probably Risto. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks guys. That RFA status allows us to maintain control for a while, but also let's the team see what they're getting with a full season as a sabre. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Montour has a good 5v5 primary assist rate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scottysabres Posted February 25, 2019 Report Share Posted February 25, 2019 Montour's got to be happy. He's looking back as the plane leaves Anaheim thankful he's not going to be a part of a couple year rebui…………………...oh snap...…...Buffalo? lol, I kid, I kid...………………….or...……………….do I? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LTS Posted February 25, 2019 Report Share Posted February 25, 2019 This is certainly the kind of trade that makes you wonder "what's next?" You can see where Botterill was looking ahead with bringing Montour in. I'm pretty excited about the whole thing. But, the Sabres do have to move someone.

Pimlach Posted February 25, 2019 Report Share Posted February 25, 2019 Definitely a trade for now and the next few years. Very solid young defenseman. Fills a RHD need. The right age. I liked Guhle and I’m surprised he looked so shakey in his short stint with us this year. Clearly he is behind Nelson and Pilut and Hunwick. Dont like giving up a #1 but not surprised by it.

DarthEbriate Posted February 25, 2019 Report Share Posted February 25, 2019 That 1st is a heavy price, but it looks like getting NHL-ready D is costly this deadline. I love the move, though. 3 minutes ago, JJFIVEOH said: If this means Ristolainen getting shipped out, I'll be highly disappointed. 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). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, the athletic is the best sports coverage around and he’s a Sabres writer. Just looking to get an understanding of what someone presumably more knowledgeable about hockey thinks about the trade. No need for whatever this is. 2 minutes ago, Huckleberry said: ok HF is fun now, they all think we did a steal, I just think its a pretty fair trade.
