I think as long as Chris Snow is a part of the Flames organization it will be impossible to see Ristolainen as a Flame.

they don't need Lw they have Skinner Olofsson, kahun, and Johansson. trading away 8th overall and their best RHD defenseman from last year isn't worth 2 years of Gaudreau.

no

No is right, from Calgary especially. Yikes

It isn't 8 o/a it is a conditional 2021 first. The value for the deal is probably right here, but I agree the Sabres don't consider moving Jokiharju unless they are getting a legit 2C with term or team control for several years back.

Not impossible at all, even as an Analytics guy, Ristolainen has value to a team, but he isn’t gonna pay much for him.c especially not a package for gadreau

At this point Risto has negative value, like the guy is a black hole on d. It'll take a lot to get Gaudreau and this most definitely won't do it.

Flames will never take Ristolainen, they have said no to a trade for him. That is a horrible trade for Calgary
