Failure to address that and the wingers look well below mere average imo. I'd say thanks but no thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right, but if you can get that return on him you have to pull the trigger and suffer with Mitts at 2C then for one more year, or move Reinhart over 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom webster Posted July 12, 2019 Report Share Posted July 12, 2019 I’m pretty sure plan B is MJ at center with Sam as his winger. Mits will be 3C at best to start the year. Also, they won’t trade Risto just to trade him. They will get either a RW they feel has top line potential or a 2C. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think the fact that he is not a 2C changes this. There are other ways to acquire players other than trading Risto for them. Buffalo acquired Skinner for spare futures, St. Louis acquired O'Reilly for futures and a couple vets on meh contracts. A Risto trade is not the only way that a 2C could be acquired. Everyone getting tunnel vision on the idea of Risto for a 2C. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well Risto costs more than 5mil, so there'd have to be multiple parts. They'd want someone to replace him too, and I don't think we have a young good forward to send their way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's hope!!! Although I think Risto ultimately does get moved, I do continue to have a slight worry that Botterill's set the price too high and there's a risk we get stuck keeping him.

LGR4GM Posted July 12, 2019 Report Share Posted July 12, 2019 Just let me live out this fantasy for 5 seconds... We should have drafted Boeser in 2015... we trade for him now... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randall Flagg Posted July 12, 2019 Report Share Posted July 12, 2019 I really prefer a 2C, but if the RW is good enough, I can be talked into that. Then we can just offer sheet Cirelli for far more than tampa is willing to pay next year ? But I really would love a better plan B (long term) than hope Mitts or Cousins becomes one.

Really can't see Mittelstadt in any role but 3C (and actually getting 4C minutes) next year. Possibly (very slight) at LW on 3rd line if things really aren't working, but would be very surprised that he wouldn't go to the A at that point. If Mittelstadt ends up 2C this year, either the league's going to be testing him for PEDs as his training regimen will have worked way beyond expectation or they will be nearly as bad as last year. And Reinhart is a RW at this point. He doesn't move unless injuries force an issue. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brawndo Posted July 12, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2019 Not that either is an insider, but both Mike Harrington in a column and John Vogl on the Instigators have mentioned they expect any Risto Trade to be part of a larger package. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
