No Rasmus Ristolainen talk?

[fungchen3]

This kid is a flat-out beast. One of the most intriguing talents in the NHL and in fantasy IMO. Haircut like Drago.

Thoughts?

[plug]

I think we are all just pissed we didn't draft him!

[ericdaoust]

I've been part of many discussions about him and have written about him. Never felt he was being overlooked. I think we've settled into him being this good so there's less reason to talk about it.

[Yonald]

Ya or no one is dealing him....I dropped him last year

[Call of Doughty]

.sent an offer for him tonight....many threads on him around here and I've read them all......youtube highlights reveal the force is strong in this one...get him I must

[havanablast21]

With my blue Line already containing Karlsson, Carlson, Josi and OEL as my keepers (Risto and Stralman 5 and 6) Is there any angle where Risto is poised to
Be good enough to replace one of my 4 that I could move for an upgrade elsewhere? If so...who?

I could envision an argument for Ristolainen over Carlson because Carlson just hasn't pushed elite status despite an awesome situation. I wouldn't do that myself but there's an argument to be made if someone wanted to push it.

Finding a replacement keeper for Palat seems like the move as I'd keep Ristolainen over Palat if possible.

Risto is cool as shizzo. More to his game than just an offensive threat. Young and up-n-coming. Multi-cat league beast-to-be.

[GoNucks]

After 13 games he had 5 points and I dropped him.....terrible decision.

I do have OEL, Shattenkirk, Klingberg, Pietrnangelo, Phaneuf and didn't think would see this kind of production this season but boy was that incorrect on that.

So who does Risto replace on your blue line?

[franklin]

I thought is upside was somewhere between 40-45pts...wrong.

Weber material soon, franklin!

[Daydream Nation]

I drafted him #10 after his entry draft and I was less than pleased and for a while wished I had drafted Mantha. Not anymore!

[Big Ev]

Weber material soon, franklin!

45 pts is weber material

[fungchen3]

45 pts is weber material

I mean "real good Weber" - living in the 52-56 point neighborhood with a bundle of goals. Probably not this year, but he'll get there as the Sabres improve.
