Ristolainen

[razarr]

Is he going to fall off a cliff this season assuming he's staying in Buffalo? Is his value even worse if he gets dealt? He's a multi cat stud but I'm starting to wonder if he'll even get to 40 points never mind the 47 that Dobber has him projected for. His production really died in the second half last year after Dahlin took some of his PP time.

I think 40-45 is the window I have him in along with his usual peripherals.
Who knows where his value goes if he gets dealt.

[lucafen4]

plug him in for his usual 40+ and a crap-tonne of periphs. Just pray his +/- raises by 20 or 30

[zambronies]

I agree with the above. I still think he is good for 40+ points and great peripherals.

I covered him in a Goldipucks column and think he might've tasted 40+ for the last time in Buffalo, barring the team's offense really picking up: https://dobberhockey.com/hockey-home...d-jake-muzzin/

It was the Goldipucks column that got me thinking. He slipped down to the 15th round so he may be a bargain there even if he doesn't get 40 pts.

Dahlin or not, he’s still going to be a multi-cat stud with at least 35+ points. Curious to know the reasoning behind the thread. Are you considering trading him, trading for him, keeping him or not keeping him or just a draft target?

[Wonko]

I own Risto too and it makes me nervous. That said, I think he still scores at least 35 point with the same incredible peripherals. He will still see good offensive opportunity, just not as much as before, at least not in Buffalo, but he still likes to push the offence.
