Sujet: Ristolainen trade just playing with the idea
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Richard88</b></div><div>Fair enough on the capspace, you probably need to be careful with that.

The biggest issue with acquiring Ristolainen is the ED. Acquiring him probably means that we have to expose either him or Graves in the ED, and that makes paying Jost + 2nd/3rd for him not worth the hassle. We might as well just stick it out with Cole and ensure that we can keep Graves AND the assets (i.e. Jost + 2nd/3rd). If Ristolainen was a significant upgrade on Cole and Graves then it would be fine, but he's not really.

It would also be more fitting for us to acquire a RHD with just 1 year remaining on his contract, as a Dman with term beyond 2021 just makes it harder to resign Makar/Landeskog/Grubauer. We're also going to want to introduce Timmins soon too, and in that light a RHD with 2+ years term would block Timmins.</div></div>

Makes sense. Risto's 5.4 cap hit in 2021 wont be ideal when COL is trying to sign Landeskog + Makar + Grubauer

Tough to find a fit for a 25 yr old D making 5.4 mil thru 2022 that is ideally suited to play sheltered 2nd/3rd line D assignments &amp; PP2

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>gmgb</b></div><div>At $3M after retention, with only one year left, there are worse gambles. Maybe this extended shutdown is what he needs to rest his body, and refocus his mental game for next season. If I were a GM with a young, not totally proven starter, I'd be interested in Rinne as a mentor/backup for him. I don't think the Sabres are the right fit, because they still have Hutton for another year, but the Flyers or Canucks are examples of teams that might be. I have no idea what fair value for Rinne is right now.

It's all academic anyway. Rinne's got a NMC, and there's next to no chance he asks for a trade. He'll retire a Pred.</div></div>

Rinne I'm sure will retire a Pred, but I do think BUF is a good fit actually. Hutton was so bad for us that there's a real chance he gets his last year bought out... it wouldn't cost much. Only having 1 year left on the Rinne contract is enticing. Not sure I'd give up two 2nd's for him but I like the idea. Buffalo needs a goalie change badly

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>tampabaylightning1015</b></div><div>Would you do that same trade if it was Johnson instead of Killorn?</div></div>

I would this offseason, yeah. Wish it was an option.

Next offseason, when the modified NTC portion actually kicks in... it would depend a lot on how Cozens looks, he's the long-term plan at 2C and so far he's been as good as advertised.

BUF is going to have to roster him either full-time, or send him back to juniors (which is really not ideal here... he's 100% proven this year that he's ready to move up from junior hockey. Ideally he would be seeing top-6 minutes in the AHL next season. Age rule is potentially brutal for his development)

If he plays great, earns a full-time spot and looks the part immediately next year, then I'm not as interested in Johnson come 2021 summer.
If he busts because we were forced to bring him up too early before he was ready for NHL minutes (like Mittelstadt), then I'm still interested in Johnson.
