Great hit, great length
Just for comparison purposes, Bill Hoppe of the Olean Times Herald just posted a link on his Twitter feed(to the website GeneralFanager.com )to show how Risto's deal compares with other D-men his age. Consider:
Calgary's Dougie Hamilton(22): $5.75 M/year
Columbus' Seth Jones(21): $5.4 M/year
Toronto's Morgan Rielly(22): $5 M/year
GMTM is the truth.

That's a good deal. Now if Trouba would get his cry baby ass back to Winnipeg I would be happy.

Nice. They cut it a little close but I'm happy they got it done before he missed any games
Yeah me neither unfortunately. Cheveldayoff has shown if anything he is patient. Dec 1st is the real deadline. Not sure if he wants to miss a whole year.
Risto looks like he just returned from touring with Kraftwerk
