it has been said ristolainen will be an over payment but I think it would be worth it. Toronto extends JVR and he could replace Kane


TOR: Ristolainen

BUF: JVR, Bracco, Gardiner, 1st

Way too much for him.

Rasmus's defense is suspect just like Gardiners. He is a consistent minus player every single year, no matter where he played.

No thanks, he won't change.

If him being a minus player is all you are concerned about then why don't you look at who he is playing with, how many minutes he plays, and the lines he plays against. Jack eichle is -11 on the year and was -13 last year. He would compliment Reilly really well and he's a solid 2way young defender. You can not compare gardiners defence to risto. You throw risto in a Toronto line up and he will be better all around considering the players he would have around him.

It's a stupid trade and I was being polite by giving you just one aspect of why not to make this trade.

Your argument of who he plays with is irrelevant. Solid two way defenders with offensive talent do not have consistently negative +/ -'s.

Yes, I can compare a Dman who makes the same bad plays as Gardiner.

There are better defencemen you can get for the package you offered.

You must be a Sabres fan.
