Re Honka. No idea who the guy is. Quick look at hockey-reference, and I see a guy who has not yet played full NHL seasons (although he is a young d-man), who's had pretty good possession numbers, but nearly 60% o-zone starts.

Are the people who were on the side of "(Sabres) moves still coming, RFAs holding things up" still in that camp today? Or is Botterill done his "roster surgery" now, and all that's left is whittling the roster down through camp?

Sabres open the preseason tomorrow against Pittsburgh, and the regular season in 2.5 weeks vs those same Pens.

I don't expect any moves until October now.

I still expect Risto to be dealt to either Winnipeg or Florida.

Like, trades? Once the season gets going?

I won't go so far as to predict the team, but yea, I still think Risto gets moved. 

Before the season starts?

Yes, trades. I could see some stuff during preseason but it's much more likely at this point that it'll be during the first week or two of the season now given historical trends.

Could happen, but he’s had all summer. If we are sitting at game 1 with Risto on the roster, he’s probably here till at least the deadline

I'm of the opinion that there was enough talk earlier in the offseason that any trade doesn't have to be built from scratch. With contracts falling into place, it's just a matter of nudging what was already thoroughly discussed.

Winnipeg REALLY sticks out still

Dallas needs a RHD. 

 

Looks like Julius is not getting a lot of Honka Honka Burnin' Love from Dallas.

If Winnipeg does not acquire a real defenceman before the season, Jets fans should be furious.

Yep. One side just has to say yes.

Man I'd be interested to see what they could do with the Panthers. If I could pick a team that I hope we trade with, it's them. (From the ones that have been rumored at least)

This. Winnipeg makes me nauseous as a trade partner. We are ideal for them, them, not so much for us.

Do we really want Winnipeg’s third liner?  Unless it’s Ehlers then I’m ready to see what Risto looks like in our group.

I'm not. I'd put everything I own on this current forward group being unable to make the playoffs as it stands, where I can't say the same about our team sans Risto but with some forward help

I'm going to be incredibly disappointed if all of our starting 12 forwards are already here
