    Rasmus Sundin is 18. He has plenty of time. This way he will get plenty of ice time and team able to keep him on entry level contract for next and two years after. A team managing cap space a good thing. Playing 12 minutes a night was not the way to go

    It's that he's not what his numbers have said about him.  We've had massive issues on defense and after the first handful of reasons - then you can look at Risto.  Is he perfect?  No, but he's a good player.  He's tied for the 41st highest paid defenseman and at this point - is tremendous value.  

    Defense, IMO, is the hardest position after goaltender to hide not having a good game.  His issues get way over blown, IMO.  

    I agree with you on that. Defensemen do normally mature later and I believe he is and can be a very good defensemen . But not confident he a first pair but second . Used wisely in places he can succeed better 

    Great game by all wonderful really . Just pondering what is sustainable

    Risto again 23:43 minutes played . By far the most. Can’t complain with a perfect result. Is this just early season going with best at hand. Past evidence has shown such ice time played not sustainable over a season. Is this just short term or has something changed in his play? They show casing him? Just using what they have until healthy? I root for Risto to do well as a Sabre but see him as second pair used wisely not first pair. Is it possible he has coach who believes in him or coach just going short term with best he has ?

    The real test of this theory occurs when Montour returns.  With a defensive liability like Miller and a rookie in Joker, Risto remains our best option at RHD.  When he gets a better option (read Montour) I suspect Risto PT decreases to 22 or less.

    This would be my hope . Risto is not a top two D man but could settle in used less as a valuable second pairing D. I down to for me where is his head. Is he with his coach and team mates or this effort about getting out. A coach he can better communicate with by seasons end could emerge a valuable player on team. Not a hero but good solid player
