Zamboni Posted November 8, 2022 Report Share Posted November 8, 2022 Yea it’s amazing to me that there still are Sabres fans who want/miss one or both. They are just such garbage. 1 hour ago, North Buffalo said: Two of Sabres biggest meathead D draft picks Risto and Zadorov Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this point in his career it is locked in what he has and doesn't have as a player. He is what he is. Getting a first round pick for him was grand theft, a felonious heist. If he had Samuelsson's brains and instincts he'd've been drafted about 7 slots ahead of Darnell Nurse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really admire the intelligent play of Samuelsson. He's so young yet plays as if he is a veteran. He's big enough to be a brute player but instead he uses his intelligence to instinctively position himself to anticipate where the puck is going to be. Samuelsson and Power are or going to be top tier players, along with Dahlin, to make up a high quality and cup calendar blue line. I like Joki more than most do, but I consider him to be more of a complimentary player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's an early second-round pick next year, too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matter2003 Posted November 9, 2022 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2022 20 hours ago, JustOneParade said: So this begs the question: If Risto was traded for nothing at all (I suppose technically it then wouldn't be considered a trade) would the Sabres still have won the trade? He could have been traded for "future considerations" which I think can be just about anything, so that would have been the closest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheAud Posted November 10, 2022 Report Share Posted November 10, 2022 Not only was the trade a fleecing, but Philadelphia doubled down with a 5 year contact extension with a 5.1M average salary. Risto is in year 1 of that deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
