Thread: Hockey Trades
Just a rule of thumb, if when swapping "problems" like the Rask for Johnson trade, don't just turn around and then trade that player you got for basically nothing. If it was so easy to do, teams would have done it a long time ago without having to include quality players.

If Buffalo wanted Rask, they could have easily dealt with Minny directly. There is a reason Rask was put into your original deal for Johnson. Nobody really wants either guy at those caps. Neither do you.

As for the Schultz trade, I highly <strong>highly</strong> doubt you swap Risto for Schultz and all of a sudden Buffalo has quality defense..... Ristolainen = Schultz when he was in Edmonton. Take Risto and plop him into a Stanley cup calibre winning team a couple years ago and watch Risto's defensive numbers sky rocket. Not to mention his offensive numbers which are already very good.

Then there's the age difference and injury history with Schultz. If i'm Buffalo, I decline quite quickly here.
