Maybe you could of traded Hutton and get a legitament starting goalie and have a solid tandem

Risto isnt a guy you dump for picks just to get some cap relief

close to impossible to trade him

y just cap dump

oh no, then what is he? Schmidt was just traded for a 3rd 2 drafts from now.
at that rate Risto is worth a 5th maybe, in the 2030 draft.

dump him for whatever you can get and go grab some better goaltending...

ummmm vegas was 6 million+ over there cap. they didnt have a choice. you obviously have no clue what you are talking about

so aggressive for what reason...

take a deep breathe. it will all be ok...
you just have to come to terms with the fact that Risto's value is small - to both the trade market and Buffalo.
a 4th in next years draft gets it done. anything more than a 4th and Buffalo wins the trade...

You understand they wont trade him for a 4th round pick? they would just keep him. Not hard to get

have you looked at the trades over the past several days?
Stasny for a conditional, Johnsson for a low level prospect, Murray for a 5th, Gudbranson for a 5th, Nutivaara for a low level prospect, Schmidt for a 3rd...

market has been set. don't get angry with me...

then keep him, the rest of the league encourages that because no one wants him.
i'm just stating the facts. whatever you think he is worth, divide that by 2.

Just stop, too many CF AGM read opinions and do not believe what they see.
Ristolainen has played top minutes for at least 4 HC.
He KP, PP, Hits, scores and lines up against the other teams top lines.
When I see other AGM compare him to Nate Schmidt, it is comical.
Nate Schmidt has never reached 40 pts/yr, hits 20% as often as Ristolainen, he is 3 years older, has a higher cap hit for 3 additional years and Vegas was willing to move him for a third.
You can be sure Adams will not move Ristolainen for as low as a second, he is much more valuable than that.
But I am preaching to the choir and the other lemmings will not listen nor investigate the facts.

EDIT, BTW you were not harsh, just telling it like it is when someone is clueless.
