In my best-case scenario, Risto is still a Sabre after the deadline.

That’s because he’s playing well and Johansson and Mittelstadt are holding their own at centre.

I also keep buying lottery tickets.

In my best-case scenario he's moved. Even with those guys holding their own at centre, even projecting positive breaks across the board leaves us with a hole in the top 6 at RW. There's a Rodrigues/Sheary/Sobotka player there that our surplus at RHD may be able to correct. Furthermore, that best-case involves Jokiharju being ready, who I think plays a better brand of hockey, who'd be less of a detriment to our roster than Ristolainen and possibly even a positive as soon as this season.

Personally, with all due respect, I think your assessment of Risto is way less than most objective assessments. JMO.

Are you trying to say my personal view on Ristolainen is subjective? Ya. Wasn't aware the others weren't, but, ok. 

I don't think that's what was meant. Your assessment of Risto (and I believe over-assessment of Joker so far) doesn't correlate with the statement of being able to replace Sheary/E-Rod/ Sobotka with an upgrade in talent. Well, maybe Vlad.

No, I think he was saying that objective views rank Ristolainen more highly than I do.
