Trades
1.
NJD
SEA
  1. Johnsson, Andreas
  2. 2021 4th round pick (NJD)
Additional Details:
getting rid of johnsson to seattle because he wasn't very good for the devils and we'd be better without him and should have never gotten him in the first place because he just overperformed on the leafs.
2.
NJD
  1. Ristolainen, Rasmus
Additional Details:
When I heard that Fitz was in on Ristolainen was when I was certain I wanted him to manage the rest of the Devils' rebuild. Ristolainen is a a guy who can play 25 minutes a night, and I think that people are too harsh on the guy considering he plays for the bane of talent in buffalo (praying for you eichel, just not to the rags haha).
BUF
  1. Thompson, Tyce
  2. 2021 1st round pick (NYI)
  3. 2022 2nd round pick (NJD)
Additional Details:
Tyce unites with his brother in Buffalo, what isn't there to love about that.

Actually that’s a pretty fair trade. The Islanders pick is very late, and who knows where the second round pick will land next year? Risto is a horse, and I always felt that the Sabres have leaned on him too hard. I think he plays best when he’s playing 23 minutes a game, not 25 or 26 like the Sabres tend to make him to do.

Not exactly. He’s been used as a number one defenseman against teams’ best offensive talents, and played too many minutes per game sometimes. Instead of top pairing minutes all the time he’s better in a second pairing amount of minutes. He makes fewer mental errors when he doesn’t get overtired. The only adjustment that needs to be made is when he is deployed, that’s on the coach.

Risto at full contract should not command that return
I'd like him, your pts below this post are correct but I don't see Fitz taking the bait on that (at least I hope he doesn't)

There probably will be a team who gives a 1st for risto

Remember, Winnipeg offered Ehlers for Risto

Peter Chiarelli offered Hall for Ristolainen (Dumb Ass Murray said no) before he went to NJD for Adam Larsson.
I agree, it is a fair offer, essentially 2 second round picks in a soft draft.

Winnipeg never offered Ehlers for Risto lmao. The rumour was we offered Ehlers for Pesce and the Canes declined.

People speculated Ehlers for Risto before it got out that Pesce was the real target. Ehlers for Risto was 100% out there but in reality it wasn't a thing.

Incorrect. That idea was pure speculation, Winnipeg never offered Ehlers for Risto.
