How can the Flames be so adamant that Risto is a bad player, yet multiple teams offered a 1st round pick for him AND he's going to be a UFA too.
Something doesn't add up.
This board is laughing at the deal because we all here think Risto sucks, but that's because we've been fed by the Flames that Risto sucks. Does he suck or are the Flames just wrong and we are wrong for buying what they were selling? It's hard to give the Flames the benefit of doubt when they have been a complete failure in player assessment, the results speak for themselves.

I have to go back to: most of these guys are idiots in objective human IQ terms. Montreal just had a shocking run to the final and one of the reasons being cited is their big, tough D. So, now the herd of goats running NHL teams have again decided that "big=good" and, suddenly "Ristolainen is big and therefore good". Instead of just being what he has always been - overpriced "meh". If you can find an actual smart GM to run your team, it's like shooting fish in a barrel.
