Confirmed Trade: [PHI/BUF] Rasmus Ristolainen for Robert Hagg, 2021 1st round pick, 2023 2nd round pick

[Turin]

Myers, Patrick, Hagg, Gostisbehere, 1st, two 2nds, 7th for Ellis and Ristolainen.

As a Pens fan, I’m here for it. Though I’ll miss them having Hagg. That’s seriously brutal asset management even if Ellis is good.

 

[StickShift]

Honestly, not as much. I think his age/term/AAV will limit his trade value.

 

[Pavelski2112]

This is one of the most baffling trades I've ever seen

 

[Northern Avs Fan]

No fan base deserves to start an off-season like the way Phili’s has… I feel for them.

Fletcher is out of control.

 

[Al Lagoon]

I see Fletcher still throws draft picks away with reckless abandon.

 

[5 14 6 1]

Philly managing to make Kenny Holland look shrewd in comparison!

 

[Dietpepsi]

Big W for Buffalo

As a Sabres fan, what does the "W" stand for again?

 

[Kahvi]

Good to potentially great deal for Flyers

 

[NJ Fan 12]

So let me get this right:

Philly rightfully dumped a shitty defenseman in Ghost, and then immediately used assets and the cap space that was freed up to replace him with another shitty defenseman?

Seems smart to me idk

Did you really compare Ghostisbehere to Ristolainen?

 

[AndHeMissedTheNet]

One of the worst trades that i've ever seen not just the Flyers make, but any Philly sports team. And that is REALLY saying something.

 

[NJ DevLolz]

I’m so sorry @Roo Mad Bro

 

[Ace]

I see a lot of "FOR A RENTAL?" going around. Brothers, the fact he might be gone in one year is the best part of the deal for the Flyers.

 

[Draiskull]

yikes, imagine the ask for Eichel \ Reinhart

 

[Erikfromfin]

Nice for Risto to get out of that Buffalo finally gets to show what his made of

 

[Rich Nixon]

funny now.

 

[dogbazinho]

Francis be like what about me?

 

[BergyWho37]

Ouch that price seems high..

 

[Zippy Chippy]

As a Sabres fan, what does the "W" stand for again?

Wumbo

 

[RoyIsALegend]

It all depends.

Is Fletcher now having his afternoon nap or still time for another beauty?

 

[PensandCaps]

Did you really compare Ghostisbehere to Ristolainen?

Yah Ghost is way better

 

[CanadianCoyote]

It all depends.

Is Fletcher now having his afternoon nap or still time for another beauty?

AAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

sure, that is valid but explain the 1st round pick going to BUF.

 

[Eat The Rich]

Honestly, not as much. I think his age/term/AAV will limit his trade value.

And a competent f***ing GM on the other end.

 

[BrindamoursNose]

I'd kill to have that moron Dubas as our GM right now

 

[Erikfromfin]

funny now.

best part of that was he tried to throw his helmet at the net and missed on celebration
