Henrique would get a 1st, Risto wouldnt. Asplund is cute and all but with 3 points in 30 games hes dead weight.

Henrique might get a late first in 2021 at the deadline, but probably not, seeing as he's making 5.85 million a year for 4 more years until hes 34. If you got a first you'd have to take back salary too.

Asplund was playing 4th line minutes for the most part and projects as a solid bottom six forward who can play all 3 spots.

Just for fun, Richard rakell had 5 points in his first 30 NHL games

Did you just compare Asplund to Rickard Rakell? lmfao. I guess the big difference between the 2 is how reasonable a turn around would be. Rakell had a lot more success in the OHL/AHL and just about every other step of the way than Asplund and he was also much younger in those NHL seasons. Theres no comparison to be made between the 2 or any reasonable expectation Asplund will turn it around as Rakell did as a 'bottom 6 forward who can play all 3 spots'.

Having to take back salary, well you are giving them 5 million in salary for the next 3 years here, it has a cost. Also taking back salary is not a big problem for the Ducks right now. You are way short with Risto. I see that round 2 pick you have in 2020 and think it starts with that.

From a negotiating point of view, the Ducks are in no hurry. They arnt going to be good next season, they can wait to find the right right dman (which noone in the league has faith in Risto being right now). The Sabres however have just been put on a timeline by Eichel and co. They want to see change quickly.

Richard rakell played his 30th game in the 4th NHL season after his draft year where he was drafted 30th overall

Rasmus Asplund played his 30th game in the 4th season after he was drafted 33rd overall.

I'm only comparing them to show your point about 3 points in 30 games is nonsense

Also their asplund has fine ahl stats and asplund played in Europe, not against 15 year olds

So you dont think a player who puts up 3 points in 30 games 4 years after hes been drafted(and 2 years older than the guy you are trying to compare him to....) sees his value dropped? Talk about nonsense. If the Ducks had tried to trade Rackell after that, they'd have got nothing too and he'd still have been more valuable than Asplund is now because he was younger.

He is an add on to the trade since you are trading a center. 1 for 1 would work too

Hes an add that has very little value compared to the big value difference between Henrique and Risto. The Sabres have been trying to trade Risto now for 2 seasons and havn't been able to. You arn't getting a big return for him and definitely not a player worth a 1st.

On top of all that, Henrique has a 10 team NTC and noone wants to go to Buffalo. This is dumb.

He has a 10 team no trade list and I've already stated my reasoning. You disagree. That's fine

Like many on this site, you are overreacting big time. The difference between Ristolainen and Henrique is marginal, if any. You make it sound like Risto is an AHLer and Henrique is a star. But they are both 40-45 points players, but one is a youngish D with size and physicality, while the other has goal scoring abilities and faceoffs. And for a bad player at 5on5, Ristolainen has a higher DFF% vs elite competition than Henrique. And no need to be agressive toward Buffalo, it doesn't bring anithing to the discussion, this is dumb.

Lmao, how far did you have to dig for a stat like DFF% to use out of context? Must have been pretty far considering Henriques fancy stats are better in just about every other category.

Its simple. Henrique would fetch a 1st as others have said in the replies and Risto wouldnt. Thats enough but on top of that all the pressure is on the Sabres to get a deal like this done, they have no leverage so would likely have to pay even more. An empty asset like Asplund isnt enough to make up for that.
