Schmaltz is terrible at center. He's a one -dimensional, inconsistent winger. Risto is Risto. Has his own warts. I think they're close to equal value, and I'd be willing to roll the dice because if there is one thing AZ has no shortage of it's diminutive wingers who won't use the inside of the ice and don't play defense.
I also don't think teams are going to be handing out draft picks for established players this overseason or I would have done it for most of these guys. You think I WANT Anisimov, Hutton, JJ, et al? Almost everyone is going to be trying to shed cap and salary. I'd be thrilled to get Tage Thompson for Raanta even if I have to bury or buyout Hutton.
