Seth Jones or Rasmus Ristolainen
League in sig, who is the better own going forward? Risto really slowed down as the season wore on, while Jones saw a decent uptick in scoring after the trade. Jones strikes me as the more dynamic of the two, while Risto is a little more steady eddy. Being a salary league, if Risto gets paid like a #1 d-man but only gives me 45 points or so per year that could hurt.
I originally though having hits and blocks would help Risto, but after the trade Jones paced for 106 hits and 152 blocks (thanks Torts!). Leaning towards keeping Jones, but there's still the element of unknown with him, while Risto has already broken 40 points.
Looking to include one of these guys in a deal for the 1st overall pick. I might add my team is in salary hell next season, which is a big reason I'm looking into a deal like this.
