Quoting: Pensfan89
Cap space is important but any free agent defenseman that’s worth a damn is going to cost a bit of cap and probably want a longer term contract.
All this stuff you guys are saying about Risto was also said about Schultz when the pens traded for him. And that trade was even riskier. Schultz is just a power play specialist, he’s atrocious at even strength, yada yada yada. And look how that trade turned out?


That's... not actually accurate. Schultz was never particularly good on the PP in Edmonton, his highest year by PPO GAR was 2012-13 with a 1.6, and no other year even broke 1. His GAR at evens was a LOT better than Risto's: Between every year of their careers, the top 5 EVO GARs are: 1.Pittsburgh Schultz 2. Pittsburgh Schultz 3. Edmonton Schultz 4. Edmonton Schultz and 5 Edmonton/Pittsburgh Schultz. Even strength defence is more even, with Risto generally grading out as a bit better than Schultz, but it isn't exactly equivalent. Schultz had shown evident growth over the previous few years in Edmonton, with his offence making up for his atrocious defence (this hasn't changed, either, he's only had 1 year above replacement level defensively). And Schultz is very evidently better than Ristolainen now, after his improvement in Pittsburgh.

If Risto had a year with the Sabres similar to Schultz's 14-15 season (the year he jumped forward and became a solid 5v5 player) I might be willing to call them comparables. But so far Risto's only above-replacement year offensively seems to be entirely the result of his team shooting 12.9% with him on the ice (his career average is a big 7.4). His RAPMs for xGF and CF are still very bad, so it's almost certainly just a momentary boost of PDO.

Schultz was an all-offence no-defence guy who could play the PP a bit. Risto's a PP star with no strengths at 5v5 outside of penalty differential. They aren't the equivalent.
