And Foligno is one of the best players defensively. I would do it but BUF may try to get more.

I would say his value is a middle 6 player who can put up points.

Not a 4th liner who is overpaid.

Risto is overrated. Buffalo fans should just do this because there are not many other teams that want risto

Foligno has more points than Skinner this year...

*3rd liner who is one of the best and most consistent defensive forwards in the game

Would be Leafs 2nd best dman. Toronto's gone years without being able to evaluate defensemen, so I understand your sentiment.

good for him.

And Risto has more than both of them.

A Muzzin/Risto combo would a quality 2nd pairing.

Really, Risto and Dumba have about the same value. Dumba has just gotten to play with competent d-men for his entire career and Risto hasn't.

Second best defenseman? Lmao. Yea right. I would rather have holl over him. He is so trash and overrated. That's why all buffalo threads are them trading him for picks

And that belief is why the Leafs will never win a thing. That guy you believe is trash had 1g 3a +4 in 4 games versus the Leafs this season.

I like how you say the leafs can't win anything when you can't even get to the playoffs in the past 5 years🤣
Why are you talking do you want eichel to ask out.
Ristolainen is not good defensively. And isn't great offensively

I don't know what any of this has to do with Eichel. It's not like he's the one that would only sign a 5 year deal so he can get the hell out of dodge as soon as he can.

Also, you forget not too long ago the Leafs went to the playoffs 1 time in a 10 year stretch? Pot meet Kettle.

Say what you want, but the Leafs would be better if they had Risto and the Sabres would be worse if he left.

Hopefully (not likely) the rest of the league feels the same as you and Risto sticks around for a while.

You must be joking dude is a mess and way overpaid (yes I realize we have overpaid players). I would put Reilly, muzzin, Holl, sandin and maybe even dermott above him. At best he would be the #5 D man.

Good keep your guys. Toronto is one of the worse defensive teams in the league. Only four teams in the league gave up more goals and two of them were tanking.

pffff lmao. I like how your calling our team bad when you guys aren't even close to us in points. You'll never make the playoffs in the next 10+ years.
So if your team is that good why are you in a playoff spot?
good keep your bad defenseman and stay in the bottom of league

Eriksson Ek
Stalock

Ristolainen
Hutton

Thanks for your response but hard pass.

What would you think of a package including Mittelstadt and Risto for Staal and Brodin? Sabres would have to add but that would be the base

I like Staal for Mittelstadt, I expect Wild would have to add in that case. I think both Wild fans and Sabres fans would agree that the Brodin for Ristolainen part of the deal is the part that isn't ideal. I think Risto paired with Brodin could complement each other really well.
