COL definitely declines. Literally zero desire for Risto and his contract.

Yes, I am aware of that as I put in the description. I am a fan of Beniers and prefer him over Eklund if we are trading our two best centers, if he were availble.

I don't mind it. This is his last year and he's making 2.7 with the retention. If we lose graves, risto is another big body who would step in for PK and 3rd pairing for a season. We don't really shed any salary with thompson coming back but i think this trade favours the avs
