If they're gonna overpay for someone in UFA I hope it's Tuch over any of the RD, at least he adds another legit play driver to your top 6

Maybe but I don’t see them going after another right shot wing with Pastrnak and Geekie already being right handed
Geekie plays the majority of his minutes on Pasta's LW, I don't think it matters.

True, but was that actually the plan or out of necessity to play Geekie on his off wing?
Not like they had many other options with Mittelstadt, Khus and Jeannot as the left shot options.
I’m sure they would love to get a left shot winger who can actually score.

Ristolainen
Yeah, never been a fan, but I will also admit to being intrigued as to what he could do with the Bruins and a decent defensive structure to work in. He hasn't exactly had that in his NHL career. He has to be better than Andrew Peeke anyway

I agree with him potentially being an upgrade on Peeke. I just find it frustrating that Sweeney/Neely stress the need for more team speed year after year, and yet they don’t do anything to actually address it. They desperately need more puck movers on the backend and Risto is decidedly not thatYeah, never been a fan, but I will also admit to being intrigued as to what he could do with the Bruins and a decent defensive structure to work in.

Not perfect but better than overpay on Rasmus. Tuch has played quite a bit of hockey of his career though, that worries me. I think it turns into a Backes situation in 3 years.
AFP has 31yo Marchment at 5.6x3 and Tolvanen at 3.6x2. I’d bet either post 50 points in the same top 6 role for us. Would take both over Tuch. Would take either over Arvy or Mittelstadt, and at least you get a pick for Mittelstadt if you replace him with one of these guys. Marchment is a prick and Tolvanen has a case of Kraken-itis real bad, he’s due to break out with that shot and speed of his.

I could see them trading for Tippet and doing a Joki-Ristolainen swap in the process.Yeah, never been a fan, but I will also admit to being intrigued as to what he could do with the Bruins and a decent defensive structure to work in.

Given their rumored interest in Tippett, I could see that also. Again, not a huge fan of Risto, but that might be a good deal all around depending on what we gave up.

Risto stinks and Mctavish is intriguing. I’m concerned about his skating.
The guys you want from the Flyers are Sanheim and Tippett.
Ducks have a number of very intriguing dmen and I wonder if they’d be willing to part with anyone there, it’s kinda a log jam

I think Lohrei would be in there somewhere. That's a good fit for him. They want a PP QB.

Yeah to elaborate on this: Phil Carter appears to just be some dude schizo posting for the last 5 years.
I don’t think i’ve ever seen him hit on a rumor. He has zero credentials and is not a real reporter

You need to clear your cache. Ristolainen was very good last year.
hitting the Power ball is what I want, ain't happening.
To be honest if just half of that would happen I would be pleased, how about you which half would you prefer?Insane way to talk about a member of the Weymouth Board of Decisions

Some say the Board of Decisions is more powerful in Weymouth than the PTA. Not all, but some do.

You imagine him and Zadarov on their back end. Intimidating no doubt, but dam the penalty minutes these two would rack up, would be insane by today’s NHL standards.Yeah, never been a fan, but I will also admit to being intrigued as to what he could do with the Bruins and a decent defensive structure to work in.

Would be super hard to fill the void left by trading the bruins best Defenseman though. Hard to pass on Misa though.
Misa flies. He is going to have a fantastic career.
Ristolainen seems to have gotten better in that regard but I was thinking the same thing- we’d have a very mean defense though

Sanheim played very well for the Flyers, when I watched him play.
