Is this a joke? Risto is the last player the leafs are going to acquire, and Nylander for 8oa is horrible.
People slammed on Ceci this season, atleast he has some defensive impact. What exactly do you expect with Risto? He's horrible.

I don’t think Riso is being utilized properly in Buffalo. This also balances our cap and team out

He's horrible. By any metric. He plays a horrible gap and spends all day playing defense, which he sucks at.
This the player you want to solve defensive issues?

He only had a bad two years. Before that he was not bad defensively at all. Again I think it’s the system that doesn’t benefit him

Buddy I posted his heat map from every season he's been in the NHL, he's been amongst the worst defenders in the league every year he's been in the NHL. Risto is the last person in the NHL the Leafs need to acquire, and if you know anything about your own GM and how the team operates, it's not happening.
Did you even look at the heat maps I posted?
There comes a time where you need to drop the heat maps and watch him play. He has always thrived away from Buffalo in international. He is big, physical and mean too. He has a big slap shot from the point and taking him away from Buffalo will show he is not as bad defensively as your heat maps show.

hmm maybe instead of shitting on a player why not add some contexts. Look at his partners for those years, hell look at the teams he's been on, risto has never played with anyone higher than a #4 defencemen and that's being generous. not to mentions the forward core away from eichel RoR reinhart e.kane olofsson has been shit for the past 10 years. he's playing 25 minutes a night on the worst franchise of the past decade.

Risto is the worst type of player the leafs could aquire. Not a chance and horrible for Toronto
That's not actually true we know they have inquired at least once

I mean you can compare him to other defensemen in the same system and find that he allows more shots, high danger shots, and goals against than 4/6 defensemen on his own team in most years.
Imagine that, he's not even the 4th best defensive D in Buffalo most years.
Uhhh see my break down. 8th for Nylander which is pretty fair. 15th for a top 4 day man. Again should be fair. Johnssson for a top 4 d man. What’s the issue? This is not Nylander for Risto...

Offered and lost
Well if it's a strong defensive system he's missing I can think of no better place for him than Toronto
