Not for me. Ristolainen is good on the power play, but terrible defensively. Sabres would need to add.

I would prefer Risto. When does his contract come up? Trouba is fine, but not at what he wants to get paid.

Risto at 5.4mill for 4 more seasons is worth more. I like Trouba better as a player. But 1 year $5.5 mill and then another fight to sign him makes me weary.

I actually think this helps both teams Risto has been provin he can log more hard minutes more then Trouba. He’s played over 30 minuets a game at times on a train wreck of a defense he has tremendous potential imo he’s big and has a great shot. Trouba is much more proven defensively tho and would pair better with Dahlin.

@vbb, some good points. I just think the cost certainty makes Buffalo day no. They know they have a really good you g RHD for 4 more years at a very fair cap hit. Why change unless there’s a problem where you have to? To move that asset for a similar age, same handidness, same position player and risk having Trouba refuse to sign or only sign one year again and walk himself into UFA would cripple them.

Yah contract uncertainty would definitely way in And you’re probably buffalo declines. I think Winnepeg takes this because of Troubas unwillingness to resign to an reasonable contract. I feel like long term a Dahlin-Risto line would be pretty weak defensively compared to a Dahlin-Trouba line.

I would do this trade if I were Chevy but I think that Buffalo would need reassurance from Trouba's camp that he would resign. If the Jets and Trouba are in a sign then trade situation the Jets they would want more than Risto. So Buff shouldn't do this trade unless they have Trouba locked up long term.

Buffalo does not touch this trade risto is way better and still has upside and is better defensively and is meaner then Trouba.

Marcus joe if you think that you need to watch more hockey. Risto is the better dman watch games not look at stupid corsi numbers.

There is a small group in the hockey world who think risto is one of the worst defenceman in the league. I think his value on here like most places are inflated by putting up points on the PP. I won't go as far to say he's among the worse but he's really not good when he's not on the powerplay. could still have a little to do with the team he's playing on and being forced to play on the top pair when he should be on the 2nd or 3rd pair while at 5 on 5.

It’s pretty hard to look good as a deffensman on buffalo.
