I guess this was karma coming back to get Ristolainen for everything he has done to Kadri.
That was fantastic

I'm sure he is comfortable with the Islanders, but it's around another 3 years before they have a new arena, and that has to have some impact on his decision.
I don't see the Leafs competing with some of the offers he's going to receive.
Sharks could give JT JT's 8 million and throw in another 3 without a sweat.
Columbus needs scoring and they have a cap space.
What about the 1 year $16 mil deal for next year (before Matthews raise) and then the 8 X $9.25 mil for and AAV of $10.0 mil for JT the next 9 years, but only a cap hit of $9.25 mil to play in TO?.
Basically overpaying by $6 mil on the 1 year deal to bring the AAV all other years to $9.25 mil AAV. JT still get $90 mil total over 9.
Is some team like say SJ your example give JT $8 and toss in $3 more = $11 and by 7 years = $77 mil over 7.
But do they have the actual $. Columbus is a have not.I'm sure he is comfortable with the Islanders, but it's around another 3 years before they have a new arena, and that has to have some impact on his decision.

I don't get Boston. How are they this good? What the ****? I am totally perplexed. They were never supposed to be this good.
A few teams that had a great season will end up losing in the first round. It will always be that way with this format.
it will make beating them, so much sweeter
So that elite Flames defence eh?
Well yea their depth is pretty bad, but a team with 3 #1D's you wouldn't expect this many goals going past them.They cant score.
That's a much bigger issue.

I know. It was just a pot shot at all the people in the offseason claiming they had 3 #1Ds, and Hamonic being a top pairing one also.Only #1 D they have currently is Hamilton and I’d argue he’s a #2 if anything. Needs to take the same step Rielly did.
Gio and Brodie have aged, and Hamonic... well we dodged a bullet
think Ottawa last yearI don't get Boston. How are they this good? What the ****? I am totally perplexed. They were never supposed to be this good.
Outside of JVR and Gardiner, I don't see any impending risks that we'll throw absurd money and term around the way Winnipeg has already
That's why the whole "building from the net out" is such an outdated strategy imo.
The game nowadays is about speed, skill, dictating and being able to score.
