Not interested

 

[My Cozen Dylan]

A million times no.

it's probably not the worst in terms of value. But, Risto is already 3 years into his development, and I see him as the best player and most valuable piece in this trade, so I don't know if Buffalo is looking to start over with another Finish dman. It comes down to how good you believe Tanev is. Some people are really high on him, other's not quite as high. No doubt, he's a quality D, not sure what his ceiling is. If these teams were in opposite positions, where Buffalo was looking to rebuild and Vancouver was looking to take that next step, it would make more sense, but with things as they are, I don't see Buffalo moving their best dman.

I don't touch this with a 10-foot pole if I'm Vancouver, honestly

 

[DeltaSwede]

Nah, we good.

 

[Vorkosh]

vancouver passes easily

If the Sabres are determined to trade Kane, they will take a step back this year (from what expectations have been). But if they can turn it into a long term net positive, I think that's the best you can ask for. They have the forward prospects to fill the hole Kane leaves. Juolevi gives them that stud LD they need. One step back, two steps forward.

Think it's close value wise but neither team would ever do it.

Replacing Risto with Tanev creates a lot more problems than it solves. And adding a maybe possible solution 2 years down the line is not worth it.

 

[Seatoo]

Wouldn't trade Tanev by himself for that let alone add a recent 5th OV pick

Risto is worth that by himself. Kane is a drag on the value coming from Buffalo.

 

[Breakers]

Pretty certain Vancouver would pass on this.

 

[Josepho]

I consider Ristolainen to be overrated and Kane to be negative value. No thanks.

 

[Aladyyn]

Appears to be the HFBoards special: fans of both teams hate it

 

[Hagged]

Leave Tanev and Juolevi out:

Risto + Kane

for

5th round pick.

Kane has a negative value.

Pretty fair imo

Is this a joke?

I like it

 

[TacitEndorsement]

No, because of Kane. Value is almost there for Vancouver if you don't consider his off ice problems.

 

[Meichel Kane]

Nope nope nope.

 

[VanTampaFan]

No, because of Kane. Value is almost there for Vancouver if you don't consider his off ice problems.

Agreed. Want no part of Kane or his off ice ********.

 

[Duddy]

Sabres don't do this. But keep on with your recent anti Risto agenda.

 

[Cogburn]

Hard pass. Thank you, but no thank you.

 

[stokes84]

No, because of Kane. Value is almost there for Vancouver if you don't consider his off ice problems.

To be fair, if there was no off-ice element, this would be highway robbery for Vancouver. You'd be getting the two best players.
