I think that Rasmus Ristolainen is one of the most divisive players in the NHL, in the sense that half of us think he's worth a lot and half of us think he's worth less (pun intended). This, and similar trades involving Adam Henrique or another Anaheim forward, depend upon your evaluation of RR.
If you think he's as good as, say, David Savard, then you like this trade. If you think he's the functional equivalent of Cody Ceci or Nikita Zaitsev, you don't.
