Indeed.

Would he be reunited with Lindy?

I'm not even looking up whether Risto played under Ruff here. It's gotta be close? Or nah.

I'm not gonna look it up because I don't care.

But I like the comedy of poor Risto finally getting a chance at a reset on his career and it ends up being with a team that is arguably actually worse than Buffalo.

They are only worse in perception, not reality.

I believe Risto was a rookie when Lindy was released.  I seem to remember Ruff being the coach when the Sabres had four eighteen-year-old players on the roster (Ristolainen, Zadorov, Girgensons and Grigorenko).

Given Risto's attitude toward rebuilding and playing for an organization with no success, I can't see the Devils being willing to give up much for him considering he only has 1 year left on his deal.

As they said, they have a huge hole at RHD and have a good quantity of winger prospects and present players including Tyce Thompson, Mercer, and Foote.

Miles Wood is a Lindy Ruff kind of guy, I don't see it happening. Especially for a player that, based on everything he has said in his career, will likely bail once he becomes a UFA in 12 months.

Very true, I do think though that Adams would target Wood for the reasons I listed before

Okay - I checked. Lindy’s final season in Buffalo was 2012-2013. Risto’s first season was 2013-2014.

Who was at the draft table when Devine asked Pegula whether he wanted the team to get harder to play against? Still Darcy?
