Ristolainen isn't a need for Nashville. Sure he's be a great bottom pairing dman or even give us the ability to play Fabbro less but then we hit expansion draft and have 5 dmen that need protecting and Ristolainen isn't good enough to supplant Fabbro, Josi, Ellis , or Ekholm. if adding Ristolainen made trading one of that group a viable option i'd be ok with it but he doesn't. Ristolainen isn't a first pairing dman (Ellis/Josi and to a lesser extent Ekholm). Fabbro is younger and cost controlled so trading him would be silly.
