Botterill should make a deal for Risto ASAP and cash in on the extremely high demand for big, offensive RHD, which are always in demand. Look at what VAN was willing to spend on Tyler Myers. I think Risto is actually worth a little more than your proposal, given his cap hit. He could be extremely valuable on a second or third pair for a contending team like DAL.

Not a bad deal. I just think that there's definitely more to be had from a different team. A pending RFA from Montreal whose dad used to play for the Leafs perhaps? Dellandrea I think will be good but we need more imminent help and Faksa is just another bottom 6 forward that we have plenty of.
