So the former 5 overall with the 42nd overall isn't worth the gamble for a guy you need to trade anyway? Mike Hoffman isn't a 30G/60+ pt guy, he's a good consistent 25G/55pt which is good but not elite. He was never going to be worth more than a first and a good prospect or a 1 for 1 swap with another veteran top 6 top 4.

This trade is about clearing the air in the room. We get a young middle 6 center who hasn't lived up to his potential and might want another shot at proving himself ( and a high second rounder (which we don't have). Maybe you squeeze the 2019 2nd out of it or try to upgrade to their 2019 1st, but you need to show Karlsson you're serious about keeping him.

You then go aggressive after 1 of the big LW free agents (JVR, Neal or Nash) to replace the scoring lost in the deal.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>sabres89</b></div><div>You had me until you added ryan. Dahlin for svechikov and ristolainen works, plus minor adds to put a bow on it, but tacking on a 7 million dollar cap dump for 5 years is a bridge too far. Better off moving a forward to address the tire fire on d than do this. Condon adds nothing, i dont want a goalie included in any major deal, people get the impression that the goalie adds value.</div></div>

I agree that it was a big ask but Ottawa can't afford to take on Ristolainen without sending money back. Despite his massive contract Ryan is still a middle 6 winger who could have a few decent years if he stays healthy. The swap with Ristolainen only increases Buffalo's cap hit by approx 2.5 million. I think a goalie under contract is a good add for a team that has none considering the poor quality of backup UFAs this year.
