NJ and Risto seem like a perfect fit. 

Indeed.

Would he be reunited with Lindy?

I'm not even looking up whether Risto played under Ruff here. It's gotta be close? Or nah.

I'm not gonna look it up because I don't care.

But I like the comedy of poor Risto finally getting a chance at a reset on his career and it ends up being with a team that is arguably actually worse than Buffalo.

They are only worse in perception, not reality.

I believe Risto was a rookie when Lindy was released.  I seem to remember Ruff being the coach when the Sabres had four eighteen-year-old players on the roster (Ristolainen, Zadorov, Girgensons and Grigorenko).

Given Risto's attitude toward rebuilding and playing for an organization with no success, I can't see the Devils being willing to give up much for him considering he only has 1 year left on his deal.

I would love that.  Why would they do that? 

As they said, they have a huge hole at RHD and have a good quantity of winger prospects and present players including Tyce Thompson, Mercer, and Foote.

Miles Wood is a Lindy Ruff kind of guy, I don't see it happening. Especially for a player that, based on everything he has said in his career, will likely bail once he becomes a UFA in 12 months.

Very true, I do think though that Adams would target Wood for the reasons I listed before

Okay - I checked. Lindy’s final season in Buffalo was 2012-2013. Risto’s first season was 2013-2014.

Who was at the draft table when Devine asked Pegula whether he wanted the team to get harder to play against? Still Darcy?
