I'm dying. This is like, if you want Bobby Ryan, you gotta give us Draisatl. That's the level of this. If RNH was a triple amputee I'd keep him over this.

Risto is worth a late first at best.

If the Oilers want Risto??

Here is the thing...they don't want him. I actually deked Risto out twice while writing this. Of course he slashed me and then complained to the refs, but I still finished the post...if you get my drift.

they don't want him. Risto doens't have that value

Look i want risto but i will not give up hopkins unless you are throwing in 8th overall!

nuge averaged being a 70 point paced player the last 3 seasons. Risto is defensively inept (and thats putting it as nicely as I can). Nuge has a better defensive game than risto and is an effective 2way centre that can play the wing. Even IF the oiler want risto (which I am sure they do not), you would have to give up much more than an overpaid top 4 dman that would barely make the top 4 on edmonton's roster next year.
