Value of: Ristolainen @ 50% to EDM

[thefutures]

Could see bowman putting up a couple 2nds for a retained risto. He would be a top 3 guy on that blue line

Lots of youth; not a lot of veteran experience. He and Sanheim are it.

And Nick Seeler, and Erik Johnson. (Also, Louie Belpedio is just as old as Sanheim, down in Lehigh Valley, so if we're desperate for people who can't make a U25 team, we've got at least one more option) There's absolutely room for the Flyers to move at least one of the four (preferably two, but I know t.he limitations of the Flyers' idea of a "rebuild") while still having plenty of Veteran Presence available to them. Hopefully they're not looking at Risto being desperately important just because he's a veteran, there are plenty of those out there, and we could take back a lesser vet in a trade anyway.

We are looking for a #4. Don’t know if Risto is even that.

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?

1st round pick that you do not have... plus a prospect and no.. no 50% off his salary.

Almost no one thinks a 1st rounder is a reasonable price to pay. Plus a prospect? Shooting for the moon, hey? Well, that's your prerogative.

top in SB, top 40 in hits on pace to score over 20- 25pts, plays 20min.. why they hell would we trade him unless we get good return.. EDM got nothing.

 

[KevinRedkey]

He only makes 5.100
Retaining down to 4.000 (~22%) should be plenty to facilitate a deal

 

[Strummer53]

Risto at 0% retention= free
Risto at 50% retention will require a 2nd plus a bit figure at least, just cause you are compensating the cap hit not the player, and when that happens the price goes up.

I dunno.

This is Risto’s advanced stats today. And it’s not just today, it’s been most of this season.

 

[Bruce Granville]

Him being a former Buffalo player should be the main part of his value.
All the former Sabres players who become really good and won the cup after leaving Buffalo…Eichel, Reinhart, Montour, Mittelstadt…

So, any contender looking for the last puzzle piece should take a 2nd look at a possible Risto trade.

 

[Rich Nixon]

Risto has had the best 3 games of his career over the last week so if the Flyers are gonna move him they should do it soon.

 

[10YearsAfter]

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%?

You should refrain from making ignorant comments

 

[Szechwan]

Rumor was the Oilers had Risto ahead of Nurse but Mac T ended up meeting Nurse’s uncle in the washroom at the draft and decided to put Nurse ahead of Risto after that.

I didn't know that, but it's f***in hilarious

Mitts hasn't won a cup. Okposo has.

 

[Wpgpage]

Fellow former Saber Jake McCabe went for a conditional 1st also with two years left on his deal. If Philly hold the full 50% I have no doubt they could get a 1st.

Flyers aren’t going to trade guys like Risto or Laughton after they’ve climbed into the wild card race. Playoffs, baby!

 

[Dirty Dog]

Move him to wing and put him next McDavid!

Huh?

Yeh you watch a lot of Nurse games to call out that ignorance? Nurse is a good D-man with a bad reputation. Better D-man than anything the Hawks have in the line up these days. Although that’s not a high bar.

Traded Walker while being in the race last year.

Signed Seeler. Also, Risto is not an impending UFA.

Hm Risto does have term and a pretty hefty contract, maybe doesn’t even make sense then for Oilers

 

[Kamus]

I still think it’s funny that the Oilers have a bad rap that there team defense is bad…. They actually have one of the best team d stats in the league…. Their goalies suck and right now they are not getting secondary scoring. Powerplay and penalty kill are starting to round out.

 

[Hockeypete49]

Risto has been playing very well all season and teams have noticed, that's why Danny has been getting all the calls about him. Price has gone up sports fans.

Oilers got that base covered with J.Skinner

Why not? A retained risto with term would be great for Oilers who have no one really challenging for a top4 RD spot in near future other than Bouchard
