Horrible trade for Buffalo, Risto is worth Zucker the first + IMO

Overpayment for Zucker, plus it makes no sense to trade Risto for picks.

You are out of your mind. Zucker is like top45 in GAR over the past 3 seasons.

It’s a three way trade where the picks turn into Zucker and dumping Sobotka

That won't happen cause 3 way trades never do, but that's actually a fairly realistic Risto trade. I think if Buff retire the Jets would agree to that.

Yes, for some reason I didn't notice it at first, my bad. If Zucker is good on the right wing, you could have done something similar, but some Minnesota fans said he was not very good on the right side.

MN should take that and run.

You could take out the 2nd and it would be a more even deal. I'm really like Samuelson. The 1st should have the condition of the later of Sabres/Jets 1st rounders attached to it.

Zucker is fine on the right side, but he is better on the left side.

I’m a Sabres fan. The WPG pick will be later hahaha

The Jets will score a lot of goals, but the d-corps is awful though. Risto would help, but they aren't a Playoff team.

0 chance Zucker is worth a 1st, 2nd, solid middle 6 forward, big Sammy and not to mention Vladdy. Also Risto is worth more than a 1st and 2nd, only way I'd trade Risto for a 1st is if it was top 5

Tim Murray is back again . Talk about an over payment for Zucker. Quit trying to move Risto !

Would be more fair if we didn't give the rights to Mattias Samuelsson

I hate Samuelson as a prospect. I don’t see anything there that’s worth excitement.

Also if you think Risto is worth a top5 pick: woof.

Guess you have not been following Samuelsson at Western Michigan under the guidance of Terry Murray. Murray an ex NHL player and coach calls him the best prospect he has coached . Also is going to be captain of the USA under 20 team . The kid is developing nicely . As far as Risto goes new coaching staff is really helping his game . Tons better in his own end especially better on his zone exits. But that's okay . Ralph can keep on improving his game till the trade deadline and Botts can get a great return for him.

Slight overpayment for Zucker, but otherwise fair.

Massive overpayment for Zucker

I dont see ristolainen returning two 1sts. One, sure, but the trading team is taking an awfully big risk to trade two. And that seems like a pretty big overpay for zucker.

Sorry should have been more clear. It’s only 1 first, but it’s lottery protected
