Explanations:

ROR is a very good player, but he nets us Dougie Hamilton which then allows us to deal Risto. IMO, Risto is a nice piece to move b/c I don't think he's the type of player that JB regime needs, and instead they get a young &  very talented winger in return. We chose not to resign Lehner, and deal for Grubauer, who IMO, could be a very nice #1 NHL goalie. 

 

Hope you enjoy!!
