No it does not.

Probably not Raddysh but a different B level prospect like Katchouk might work

Let's break it down...

Radysh is a fair sweetner to get rid of Callahans contract, so those two basically cancel eachother out IMO...

So you're left with Sergachev for Ristolainen and a 2nd... GROSS

My thoughts. Fair take.

What does a deal like this look like in your opinion? No judgement on any counter offer. Does TBL have any interest in Risto at all or am I the only one who sees a fit?

Risto is bad and overpayed. Tampa needs a RHD but I dont think Risto contract and lack of defensive skill is a real fit for them. They need a guy that can reliably handle other teams top lines, and don't need him on the PP which is where his biggest value is.

no sense at all.

Gross for Buffalo. Risto is a beast on a terrible team. Sergachev is good on the best team in the league.

sergachev > risto

You would make a great detective.
