Non Sabres Deadline Trades/Rumors

[Huckleberry]

Risto isn't going anywhere.   Joker isn't ready and bogo/montour are injured.

Risto - Miller - Nelson to start the season on the right.

[CallawaySabres]

I want Risto to stay for my winter classic jersey alone....

At two years this seems like at least a mill too much 

[triumph_communes]

Now for the Risto trade that the Laine salary is set?

Hopefully Botts is asking for Anaheim and Winnipeg’s Final Offers to be submitted

Dammit, I need something to get me through these final few hours of work!

Sorry TrueBlue - we've all been waiting for the Risto trade to drop for multiple weeks now. It looks like it isn't happening before Thursday's opener.

On that note, where in the world did September go? I feel like it just started.

I bet its not happening this year.

With regards to Ristolainen being traded, I want to say that I bet he is traded by the trade deadline, but I think I’ll resign myself to the fact that I have no clue what’s going on there.

[dudacek]

In my best-case scenario, Risto is still a Sabre after the deadline.

That’s because he’s playing well and Johansson and Mittelstadt are holding their own at centre.

I also keep buying lottery tickets.

Ask Botts, maybe he can get you tickets to the next lottery.

In my best-case scenario he's moved. Even with those guys holding their own at centre, even projecting positive breaks across the board leaves us with a hole in the top 6 at RW. There's a Rodrigues/Sheary/Sobotka player there that our surplus at RHD may be able to correct. Furthermore, that best-case involves Jokiharju being ready, who I think plays a better brand of hockey, who'd be less of a detriment to our roster than Ristolainen and possibly even a positive as soon as this season.

Personally, with all due respect, I think your assessment of Risto is way less than most objective assessments. JMO.

Are you trying to say my personal view on Ristolainen is subjective? Ya. Wasn't aware the others weren't, but, ok.

I don't think that's what was meant. Your assessment of Risto (and I believe over-assessment of Joker so far) doesn't correlate with the statement of being able to replace Sheary/E-Rod/ Sobotka with an upgrade in talent. Well, maybe Vlad.

Please define for me an objective assessment of Risto. Or....any player.

No, I think he was saying that objective views rank Ristolainen more highly than I do.

I think it's all still a personal opinion. And you're welcome to yours.

OTOH...can you see what I was getting at and what is your opinion on that. Seems like you weren't too high on Risto  

[thewookie1]

Barring something last minute I suspect Risto will be a Sabre for the foreseeable future. And seeing as he’s one of the few physical players we have I’d say that’s potentially a good thing if used properly.

Ya, you're probably right.
