Rasmus Ristolainen REUNION one of many defenseman trade ideas for the Buffalo Sabres

The Buffalo Sabres are in need of a depth defenseman ahead of Friday's NHL trade deadline. There are lots and lots of ideas, some of which are former Sabres, including Rasmus Ristolainen. It's not gone great for Risto in Philadelphia, but could finally being placed in a protected role mean better results for him on a third pair? With Marc Bergevin in Toronto tonight to watch the Flyers, he could be on the Sabres radar, and so could Brandon Carlo. Could the Maple Leafs defenseman be available to play that same third pair role in Buffalo? Plus, a look at two giant defenseman in Seattle's Jamie Oleksiak and Winnipeg's Logan Stanley, one of which Sneaky Joe has completely soured on. And why Zach Whitecloud of the Flames might be the best idea out of any of them. With Conor Timmins almost ready to return, is it possible the Sabres don't make a trade and just trust Timmins to step back into that depth role?
