That's a good question. I proposed Risto for Bennett and Hamonic as a general money in/money out trade, but I probably need a pick or a prospect coming back in that trade from Calgary too.

Hamonic is a UFA after this season.  That's one minus.  Maybe Andersson?  That way it is a general Rasmus in/ Rasmus out trade.

Risto is the guy in a fight who throws a punch when his buddies have the other guy tied up. Seeing him live on Saturday was a game changer for me. Only seems to be "tough" after the whistle. Is be surprised in GM's didn't see this too. Not sure what his return would be in a trade.

I've always been an ardent Risto supporter, but this weekend was the camel that broke my straw back.  I saw what you saw essentially, and I have really lost all hope in him becoming much of anything outside of minute muncher.

Bennett's defensive numbers aren't bad. He'd be an upgrade on Sobotka at least...

(I'm not pushing this one very hard...)

I'm just not interested in another hopefully maybe possibly half-measure. Fix the forwards or don't, but I don't need Botterill selling me a bill of goods.

Loser points are stupid and need to go away. No team should make the playoffs losing more games than winning. 

Loser points are stupid, but in a league where over half the teams make playoffs, it’s only logical that a team with a loosing record gets in from time to time, loser points or not.

I'm sure he wants to make a trade. As they say it takes at least one partner and he knows a bad trade would likely put him in the hot seat. We've gone through enough coaches and whatever the problems are it's not going to fall on coaching. It will be the GM next to go in my opinion.

The Sabres are 9-6-2 and have lost 5 in a row. They're 1 game above Deluca 500. They've lost the first 4 games of November and they have 10 left.

They need to stay at or above Deluca 500 to have any chance at being relevant in December, which means they need to win 5 of the next 10.

They built a cushion in October but I'd rather not use it all up this month.

Good post, good topic. The @deluca67 .500 paradigm continues to be a useful one, for me. It's not a determinative value, but, as a practical matter, it has proven to be a reliable signpost of whether your team's headed in the right direction.

This"deluca .500" narrative is retarded and needs to go away. 

I can do without that, thanks.
