Boy, you're on a roll.

I think it is or it's not dependent on ones expectations.

Think his value at deadline is zero. He'll be going to free agency what teams would offer more.

The bottom line is he is gone for zero after this season. By keeping him it's not like he's making you a playoff team. We were last place with one of his best years. So next seasons end you lose him and you're still likely no better for having kept him.

Exactly. This is also what many have previously predicted would be his value all thing considered. He's gone for nothing or make the best deal you can get.

One problem is Rhino value is lowered significantly I think by his contract status. We may be paying for not having signed him to a long term contract before.

Yeah, his posts are a bit nauseating.

surprised but not shocked.

I think they over paid for a real good player.

Agree. I liked Risto and have said before he was undervalued by many here. This trade shows that. Wish him the best unless it's against us.

Wasn't Risto drafted #12 in his draft? Edit #8

The problem is if Eklund says it's happening then you pretty much know it's not.😀

I'm amazed that Jack is criticized on this forum for being negative. Wow! Please may we review our own posts.

Why. Because they haven't made a trade we can bitch about?

I would like to have both Jack and Sam stay. Sam would have to agree to extension or, unfortunately, he needs to be traded. We then need to take care of our goaltender issue. Add to that further development of our younger players and I believe you have a respectable team at the least and a possible playoff team.

Speaking of cults.............

Two big questions. Does he want to be here? Will he sign long term now? Answer is probably no to both.

I think any trades will be close to the draft or during it.

Agree totally but we do need more physical play.

Terrible.

Agree. I posted days ago the best way to go would trade Risto to protect Borgan. There must be a reason it wasn't done before the expansion draft.

Agree we need to replace that physicality and suspect we can. I just think they have better value in trading Risto. Protecting him made asset management sense.

Can't understand what the expectations of some are when it comes to these press conferences.

There are a couple others in that boat. Don't need to name them.

I'm for #1
