Gotta love Driedger. I hope he kills it in Seattle.

In be for Driedger with a .960 sv. with a shutout against the Panthers.

Craig Anderson 2.0

Ok so this is year 1 of no Driedger and my anger level at Bob is at a 5/10 over losing Driedger and only this alone.

Let's revisit this in April when Driedger is a vezina finalist.

Flyers got bent over in that Risto trade yikes

 

[drktmplr12]

oh my god what is philly even doing.

BUF has the 1st and 14th pick now lol. 4 picks in first two rounds and 6 in first 3. that must be nice.

 

[violaswallet]

The Risto trade was fair: he's a hell of a defenseman.

I mean they're so bad, you almost have to feel sorry for them. Even if they draft really well, they still have a long road ahead.

I have no clue what they’re trying to do.

 

[Gentle Man]

Ghost, 2022 2nd and 7th, 2021 13th overall, Hagg, and 2023 2nd

For

Ristolainen.

Sorry, Thats a big fat L. Unless Risto becomes a top 15 stud this year, takes an extension and maintains play for at least 3 more years, thats a fat L.

Interesting, I think he's one of the worst players in the league

Buffalo needs breaks like that

His performance is biased from being on a shitty team. I wouldn't necessarily add him to Florida as he doesn't fill the gap in, but clearly Philly thinks the bad defensive metrics are Buffalo...he's played like 24 minutes per game...

at least they have hope now and for Ristolainen it was fair to let him go. It's not nice to spend the whole career playing for a team that doesn't it to the playoffs.

Florida has one better defenseman, namely Ekblad.

I don't really buy this. Huberdeay and Barkov played on some of the worst teams in the past decade and were great. Will playing for a better team help, sure, but good players are still good on bad teams.

I guess I can see why people would take him. Better than Weegar? Forsling? Hell, Gudas? Insane

 

[Sticksandsun]

I wouldn't do Risto for Hagg 1 for 1

 

[ucanthanzalthetruth]

Rasmus Ristoleinen returned a bigger haul than Pavel Buchnevich.....

I won't be around tonight discuss, but I'll leave you with this:

I think Bob will have a better season than Judge.

 

[ucanthanzalthetruth]

I like it a lot for Arizona but they will have a complete frankenstein roster this year that may not win 20 games.

Good catch.

For who though? Christian Dvorak?

I guess I was always thinking it was just a cap dump and a pick with nothing coming back.

Coyotes retaining 1.2 for 6 years.
