I know... “No way NJD trade the 1st for Risto” and “No way the Wild make that trade”. I’m just following the existing rumors from sources that are usually good. Then comes “What sources?”... The usual comments.

Minnesota's pick is #21OA Ristolainen and Girgenson's doesn't move you up 17 spots what a joke.

I think Risto to Habs or Jets is the rumor.
Devils were never likely in on him.

How many proposals are we going to ser with matt dumba in it? Wild gm isn't moving him.

The release of suter all but sealed that, then Carson soucy's selected today guarantees dumba is going nowhere

- also reports have been wild gm is only open to moving one of boldy, or Rossi ; not both

Except this was never a rumor. The rumor was that the Devils may be shopping the 4th overall pick for a very good young D with team control. Risto is none of that. He is not young, he is not very good, and he is not under team control as he is a 1 year rental.

Reports are also Sabres are not accepting a offer without boldly and Rossi.

Those aren't reports, that's pretty much pure speculation from writers, journalists, analysts.
