I think Risto could be very good in an appropriate role (2nd pair).
I still think Andersson is the most likely piece where the Eichel talks start (+Dube/Mangi + prospect + pick), so bringing Risto back would fill that gap for the year (and be a decent TDL sell if Flames are out of contention).

The Schneider over Demko pick even at the time didn't make sense.
In a 31 team league...3 decisions like that at the different between 1st and bubble team.

The thing I'll mention about Point until I'm blue in the face is that we could have had more pick(s) in that range if Burke wasn't so stubborn about not trading Cammi.
