Showcased. Come on man every GM knows what Risto is about and what he can offer. No team is touching him with that contract. Maybe with 50% retention you get the Kevin Hayes deal.No room at the inn.
Drysdale is getting a shot at 2RHD, Risto will be showcased at 3RHD (and he's better than Attard, much better skater and Shaw has taught him how to play defense).
Attard is odd man out, maybe gets a shot next year, but with Bonk and Sotheran in LHV, and we'll see how Samson (21) and Grans (22) develop this year.
Attard isn't getting a shot in any year unless major injuries and by default. Grans stinks. He was a guy the GM acquired. A guy the GM said he didn't know or ever seen play.
You trade Seeler then find the next Seeler in free agency on a 1 year deal. This is a very simple concept.I can see keeping Seeler up to a point. Term is too long but do be it. He could fill the role of the older vet that the FO wants.
EJ however is a useless retention done to satisfy a coach that just can’t trust young players. He’s not going to play better than Zamula, Attard or possibly Andrae. Makes one wonder who needs the security blanket, the players or the coach
Coach needs it no doubt.
Yet you hype up Samson and Sotheran.We're talking a late 3rd rd pick, if he's a 3RHD that's a "hit."
If Risto was moveable I think Attard would have a year or two to replace him and prove he belongs.
But they need to play Risto if they want to move him next summer.
