I feel as though this is the kind of trade Edmonton is going to commit to soon. I don't think Risto is the piece they need on the right side and they can't afford to get him at his full salary.

So as the wrong guy for too much $$$ it seems like the inevitable move Bowman is going to make,

What would be fair value?

Nurse and Risto would be like putting all your EA sports stats into skill and size, and zero into brains.

Nurse is having a great year, actually. I am one of his biggest critics but fair is fair.

What would the Oilers have to trade to get Ristolainen at 50%?

He has 6 points and a -1, lol. I wouldn't take him at free for 50%, never mind give up assets for him.

Ok. The OP isn’t asking whether YOU would take him or not.

If you are expecting Makar production from him then you’re looking at the wrong d-man.

He’s been extremely solid this year. He’s not going to put up points; that’s not his value.

Risto is having a really good season so far. However, I don't think it would cost to much to get him unless there are teams lining up for his services.

I'd say St. Louis 2nd, and Jayden Grubbe or Derek Ryan. I don't know how high they are on Grubbe, but the Flyers need centers.

Seems steep for a guy who has been seen as having negative value for basically forever.

This guy has positive value for the first time in about 5 seasons, wouldn't touch him for future considerations.

The Oilers getting Risto would signal the start of an alternate universe where MacT doesn't meet Nurse's uncle in the washroom before the draft.
