I guess I just don’t care about the optics.

You have a 5.4 mil D who in reality is a 2.5-3 mil D who’s role is going to get smaller and smaller if he even stays.

They didn’t trade for Miller/Joki/Montour, all RHD to still give Risto 20+.

In other words, this conversation is pointless because he’s 100% a goner

Disagree, I think he's 100 percent a posted speed limit violator.

Your OP was about his trade value, which is predicated on results and optics.

Also, Tyler myers just got $6m to hit people in the shin pads with outlet passes and to generally be an awkward giraffe, so I'm calling shenanigans on Risto being a $2.5m defender

I'm 100% on board with trading him though

Right and he’s also worth about 3 mil.

My point in all of this, and has always been in reference to Ristolainen has been for every time someone says he’s been “misused”, there’s another side to the coin conveniently left out.

Hes been given top PP time, he’s been given plenty of o zone starts, he’s also been the most used D man with Jack Eichel since he’s been in the league.

Not enough people are talking about how much better Eichel is going to be away for the anchor that is 55

Right and he’s also worth about 3 mil.

Yes, he was the center point of several pages of yesterday's blog.

When is the next Giveaway Sweepstakes scheduled to be aired?
And will they have cut back on candidates that will be on stage for the next one?
As soon as one utters anything close to a plan for fully funded retirement for life, I'm in.

Give him a whole year of being deployed as an actual offensive defenseman. If nothing changes, I will agree with you

According to those here, his value is sub-piss-boy right now anyway

So, when Pachla post the blog about Risto, is that when we start debating whether Curtis Lazar is a candidate for 1st line RW duty?

JC doesn’t skate on ice, he walks on water.

Trade Josh Allen to the Colts for their 2nd rounder.

How is top 30 in O zone starts + top 10 in PP time not being used offensively?

The problem is he’s *also* being used defensively

I agree he will look better. But he will be lucky to hit 40 points on this team again if given 5 minutes less per game + less time with Eichel. It just won’t happen
