Ristolainen is terrible and Girard isn't going anywhere.

Hagg and Ristolainen are both terrible. COL isnt moving 6 years of Girard for 1 year of Giroux and adding on top of that

This deal is horrible for the Avs. Risto is a cap dump and a half-retained Giroux doesn't get Girard, a 1st, a 2nd and Kaut.

Sabre's would probably accept but please don't acquire risto. The Avs will somehow miss the playoffs with him on the team lol

PHI would be an idiot not to accept, but more importantly COL would be an idiot to offer this package. Girard isn't going anywhere unless it's a killer return for COL. He's locked-in to arguably one of the most team-friendly deals across the NHL.

We'd be better off going with De Haan at the deadline than Hagg, and there's no way we want Risto and are willing to give up Girard.

People really need to stop acting like risto doesn't have value around the league. Is this trade way too much for Avs to give up? Absolutely. But to say risto is a cap dump is just incorrect. Multiple teams offered 1st round picks + for risto in the off-season. Is he worth a 1st now? Hard to say depends on the market around the league right now but he should definitely return a 2nd +

Easy no's for the Avs. Awful moves.

He should be considered a cap dump. But yes, some GM would overpay a lot for him. My point remains the same.

For the last time RISTO ISNT TERRIBLE. He’s a fine 4-5 dman who can thing physicality. People haven’t watched him this year and just say how he is terrible when he hasn’t been
