Anyone who is a fan of another team, please don't take the risto treat seriously, I'm looking at you Toronto fans.

3 trades within the division too lol

Rasmus Ristolainen is not better than Nikita Zaitsev. Buffalo would need to sweeten the pot to get the deal done.

The title alone was enough warning to dismiss any possibility of the proposal - it's common knowledge for the past year via the player and his agent that Panarin wants to play in a large market like NY or LA with recent reports since Quenneville became Florida's coach that Panarin would enjoy the chance to play for him again.

Buffalo has zero chance of even getting a phone call with Panarin.

It's armchair GM bro, we all might as well be playing NHL19. We know.

risto and a first for zaitsev

Probably the best joke I've heard all year!

ristolainen has very bad defensive numbers so yeah he's not as good as you think

Ok I will play your game you tell me which player is a better option:

Player A: 27 years old Same head coach all three seasons

16/17: 82 games 4 goals 32 assists 36 point -22 Team 250 Goals Scored 234 Goals Against
17/18: 60 games 5 goals 8 assists 13 points +8 Team 270 Goals Scored 230 Goals Against
18/19: 81 games 3 goals 11 assists 14 points +2 Team 286 Goals Scored 249 Goals Against

Player B: 24 years old 2 different head coaches during the three seasons

16/17: 79 games 6 goals 39 assists 45 points -9 Team 199 Goals Scored 231 Goals Against
17/18: 60 games 6 goals 35 assists 41 points -25 Team 198 Goals Scored 278 Goals Against
18/19: 81 games 5 goals 38 assists 43 points -41 Team 221 Goals Scored 268 Goals Against

I would still rather zaitsev over ristolainen

Well than all I can say is I really hope you become a GM for one of the teams in the Atlantic conference.

Anyone on here would be better than you. Why would the leafs trade zaitsev to the sabres a rival for there version of zaitsev but for 5 million. a million more per year than zaitsev. LOL do your research amateur
