Disagree with a few choices here. Gost and Risto have skill, as do Wood and Lemieux. Maybe not skill you love but its there. Kakko and Mittel also have skill they just struggle to use it at all.

Risto would be a hell of a dman on any team other than the sabres.

This lineup must be based on analytics (why guys like Kakko are on here). However, I am surprised to see Sheary on it considering his career analytics are pretty good.

Honestly, most of Ristolainen’s partners have seen much better results when away from him compared to with. Look at Montour & McCabe for example. Think that happens by coincidence?

More to that than partners. Look at the forward core in front of them. Look at the goaltending behind them. Look at the system they play. Look at the minutes Ristolainen plays. Sorry but you change the scenery for that kid he would be fantastic.

Connor Sheary couldn’t catch a pass and would Fall down a lot as a sabres incredibly frustrating player to watch.

That’s true Sheary had extremely lacklustre skill.

Yeah their system is pretty bad & he gets exposed with his matchups. On another team he could definitely improve but he still doesn’t have great hockey sense.

Risto would be a great RW.

Bitetto is an AHL dman, not sure how much he'll play for the Rangers but he should definitely be on a list like this, every single dman listed here is better then Bitetto including Jack Johnson.

Hughes is better than every center here.

Fair, but Hughes was a lot better. Kakko was legitimately the worst player in the league last year.

Hughes was better. Point production is far from the only way to judge a player. Jack was the better prospect and rookie. And he'll continue to be better than Kakko even as Kakko continues to develop and improve.
