I'm sure there is a lot of difference between the public and private models, but pretty much there are no public models that show Ristolainen as having positive value.
Here is Dom Luszczyszyn from the Athletic's breakdown of the value given up by the Flyers this week to acquire Ristolainen.

I am unsure of Risto's value, but to suggest that the 7th rounder in 2022 is about equal, seems ridiculous. The picks in general seem to be way overvalued.
Edit: I suppose "Future Value" might be different than 2021 Value, but still seems really strange.

O.K. there has been a lot of talk on whether or not MacTavish has actually done a good job for us, most fans on this board are very basic in their analysis and I feel would change their opinion entirely if the team was successful.
