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

[PensandCaps]

Seth Jones and OEL must be worth god knows what.

And they aren't even that good.

 

[SnS]

Hagg is a cap dump, so cost to get rid of him I imagine.

he doesn’t even make 2M. Stop.

 

[Jacob]

You hate to see it!

 

[Ita]

Thanks for saving Benning from himself

 

[LiffLaff]

Wow, didn't think Risto held that kind of value.. How is he better than Ghost exactly? Is it purly because of being RD and big?

 

[Ninety7]

Holy hahahaha

 

[Static]

I guess Manson is worth a top five pick then.

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

This is baaaad.
Its even worse when you consider that flyers gave up all of that for possibly only 1 year of risto.

 

[Stewie Griffin]

That's a big price but Philly's D is going to look pretty different next year.

 

[robertmac43]

Holy smokes this is a bad trade. Are the Flyers drunk right now...

 

[Fogelhund]

I don't know if Shannon is that credible.

Risto is still full of potential, but a 13th for him seems steep.

Isn't it the 14th overall?

 

[The Great Weal]

Wait they got a 2nd too?

 

[ted2019]

Absolutely horrible.

 

[TheReelChuckFletcher]

Seems like teams haven't learned the right lessons from Tampa's two straight cup wins. They won because they were more skilled than everyone else, not because they were more physical than anyone else.

 

[Avsboy]

To confirm. Flyers traded Ghost, Hagg, 1st and 2 x 2nds for Risto?

Yep

 

[PensandCaps]

If the Flyers trade pick #13 for Ristolainen without some other massive addition on the Sabres side, I'm going to die laughing.

You lose a Risto trade if you only give up future considerations.

 

[Captain Mountain]

Fletcher, what are you doing?

 

[Uncle Scrooge]

 

[Buffalo Preds]

I would have had this reaction with a 2nd+B prospect but HOLY f***ING SHIT

The best Sabres trade since they swapped Chris Gratton and a fifth round pick for Briere and a third?

 

[IranCondraAffair]

Wow, okay, well Risto is fine and all, but jesus.

 

[drw02]

Yikes. Fletcher easily worst GM ever

 

[EichHart]

That's more than some offered for Eichel.

 

[deckercky]

The Flyers literally just traded #13 overall and another 2nd rounder for the modern day version of 2010 Jack Johnson.

That is freaking hilarious.

Edit: holy shit and they included Hagg too

My thoughts exactly. Thank you Flyers for preventing the Canucks from taking that bullet.

 

[Ainec]

Lol

 

[Gardner McKay]

I feel like the Yzerman quote from yesterday is even more appropriate for this trade... You have to ask them why they were comfortable making that deal.
