  1. Exactly my point too.... but most ppl feel like our 10th pick is so divine....
  2. Fair point....but we also need to be realistic too... if you were the GM of the Sabres, what kind of package can you expect out of the Canucks??
  3. Not at all if you look at how much Risto has accomplished as an offensive D-man.... Baerstchi is a throw in to offset some salary. OJ and the 10th pick are at this point a good potential.... not a sure bet!! It's just enticing enough for Buffalo to consider. Makes sense?
  4. I would totally trade our 10th pick + Juolevi + Baertschi for Ristolainen. To those that are adament that we must make our pick because we are the host city.... well, it's not like we got a top 5 pick in the first round. Secondly, you always grab an established NHLer that can help us NOW over an unknown pick! Risto got size, RH shot and pure offensively gifted... he'll do list fine when paired with a defensively minded LH d-man. I bet you this trade announced by Bettman will generate a much bigger roar from the home crowd than whoever we are gonna pick!
  5. Call me crazy but I do wanna see Phaneuf - Schenn rotating for our 3rd D pair than Biega and whoever that can't stay healthy.... both vets should be happy to take $1-1.5M a year!!
  6. Agreed 100%! We don't wanna ice 3 small d-men with Ghost, Stecher and Hughes... just too much of a disadvantage on size in the backend!!
  7. When's the soonest the Tram can come back to us? Would be pointless to wait till April just to have him play like 3 games and burn a year's contract. Can't we buy out his final year from his Russian team?
  8. Time to be creative in NHL payroll!! No pay for summer when there's zero club revenue and include X'mas bonuses! Makes perfect sense to me!
  9. Oh....ummmm... didn't we do the same last year and then bring him back on a cheap contract? Maybe JB got smarter now?
  10. I'm just gonna be happy with the #10 pick. We had Horvat at #10 that year right? What matters is our scouts better step the hell up!!!
  11. Age doesn't play a huge role in this comparison... wouldn't you want Chara at $2M over Edler at $5M??? Be honest!
  12. Juolevi will get #7 just like in his juniors days. Bet your house on it!
  13. When can we get his #43 jersey before his debut on Wed??
  14. Let the man enjoy a massage and pedicure first??
  15. Agree to disagree!! Sometime ago there was an article on Motte about his college days. His offensive numbers were inflated as his linemates did most of the work: JT Compher and Kyle Connor, both are pretty decent NHLers.
  16. I'm confident Lockwood got better potential if developed the right way!
  17. Looks like we got a more skilled Tyler Motte coming our way!!
  18. Hurry!! Get Goldy to call him up!! Sell some nice local Russian restaurants if any.... !!? Now I understand why we're still keeping Goldy on the roster!!
  19. Well.... that's different though... she might have to provide some special service?
  20. Guys... I didn't spend much time watching last night's game after the 1st.... does Zack look like an NHLer ready to take over Schaller's spot??
