            Pass from Detroit. Not interested in Ristolainen and especially if it costs Mantha.

            the "+ a pick" would have to be the 8OA pick for all three of these trades

            Is the pick 8th overall in the Calgary deal, because if not that ain't happening.

            Probably wouldn't happen even with 8th overall.

            But Dave is onto something for sure, you can fix a team pretty quickly by ripping other teams off in trades. Easy peasy smile

            Risto doesnt even hold a candle to Lindholm's value. Try again

            I don't get the RIsto for Ehlers deals that have been floating around.
            I like Risto and I think's he's better than most say he is, but he has 2 years left on his deal while Ehlers who is awesome has 5 years left on his deal.
            I know there was a "plus a pick" added to the deal on the sabers side, but I still think that's a huge loss for the jets.
