Kristo was traded along with a second-round pick from the Penguins to the Hurricanes in exchange for Ron Hainsey on Thursday.
At one point, Kristo was seen as a talented forward with 20-goal potential in the NHL, but his star his dimmed since then. A second-round pick in the 2008 NHL Draft, Kristo was a big part of Team USA's gold medal-winning team at the 2010 World Junior Championship, and he scored more than a point per game over a 161-game career at the University of North Dakota. Since then, Kristo has played at the AHL level for four different franchises, tallying 153 points in 257 games. Don't expect Kristo to offer much from a fantasy standpoint if he ever receives a call to the big team.
