He hasn’t gotten much of a chance with the Pens. He’s looked good whenever he’s played. Unfortunately for the Pens and for Riikola’s NHL career, one of the last parting gifts of Jim Rutherford was to trade Patric Hornqvist for Mike Matheson. So, that knocked Riikola down to 4th LD on the depth chart. He might have played some early in the season when Pit was experiencing many D injuries, but a rookie, P.O. Joseph claim that playing time. He’s signed for next year too at $1.015M, so I don’t know if that makes him more or less desirable. Not sure if Minn needs a D, but Guerin might like him.
