Trade him for anything. There is no offer too low.

“There is long-term value in being perceived in league circles as a GM who drives a hard bargain, which served Briere particularly well in the Laughton sweepstakes.”

Exactly! In the long term, it is better to hold fast and not get a reputation as a GM who caves in too easily (cough Fletcher cough).

Great article with solid arguments for why now is the prime time for trading Ristolainen. I especially like the points of fetching a first round pick coupled with making room for our top defensive prospects. Add in his health concerns and it seems like a no brainer. I just have a feeling the sentiment in the locker room is to keep him and his size especially after having won now two straight games.
