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

[RussosBurner]

lmaooooo Chuck Fletcher strikes again.

 

[Joel Ward]

Risto is better than he is given credit for on here but that first had no business being a part of the deal. Yikes

 

[periferal]

Flyers; WE WANT SETH JONES!

Jones: Well I won't resign there.

Flyers: OK. WELL THEN, LIKE...WE'RE GOING TO DO SOMETHING ELSE THEN...

Yeah Fletcher is a horrible GM. But good on Adams. Maybe he will get a decent return for Eichel afterall..

That said. Risto isn't as horrible as he has looked sometimes in Buffalo.
I also wonder if GMs really don't value 1st rounders in this weird draft Dreger just talked about multiple teams offering 1sts afterall. Which would make some degree of sense.

 

[Toronto makebeleifs]

Can I have what fletch is having? What the actual hell? Like, did adams have gritty dangling over a vat of acid if this didnt go through???

 

[Dog]

That's alot to give up for guy who can't play defense yet a defenseman.

 

[saintunspecified]

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.

??? Tampa Bay was pretty physical. I don't know what team you were watching.

But you've got a catch someone to hit them, and maybe it was the lingering effect of COVID, but Ristolainen wasn't catching up to much.

 

[Finner]

Hägg + 1st + 2nd for Ristolainen
Seth Jones will cost a fortune.

 

[SelltheTeamFrancesco]

That's a damn heist. Good for Buffalo.

 

[Lays]

Lmfaooo a 1st for Ristolainen

 

[krt88nc]

Now I want either Cole Sillinger or Mason McTavish to fall to 14

 

[c3po]

 

[Cornwallace]

Hagg + 1st + 2nd + 2nd + 7th for Ristolainen if you count what they moved for Ghost lol

 

[LevelingSolo]

Is he that bad? Always seemed like a guy that could blossom with a change of scenery

 

[JT Kreider]

OK I know in every trade thread there are always posts about how this is the worst trade ever but this actually is the worst trade ever

 

[mouser]

So the trade now turns into:
- Rasmus Ristolainen for
- Robert Hagg, Shayne Gostisbehere, 2021 1st, 2022 2nd, 2023 2nd, 2022 7th

 

[IranCondraAffair]

So the flyers have now traded:


13th overall
2021 2nd
2022 2nd
7th
Gostisbehere
Hagg
Myers
Nolan Patrick


They received:

Ellis
Ristolainen.


I'm not convinced their trades, on balance, make them better.

 

[inthewings]

So the Flyers pay a 1st, two 2nds, and a 7th to replace Gostisbehere with Ristolainen.

I don't like that at all.

 

[Duck Off]

I’m not going to laugh because my team employs Bob Murray and god knows what he’ll do, but damn… that’s awful for Philly. Awful

 

[Jee]

I personally think 2 2nds would'nt have been THAT bad, considering Risto is playing for one of the worst franchise in the entire league, and hagg is a dud, but getting rid of 13th overall PLUS a second is totally nuts.

 

[Empoleon8771]

The Sabres could have 4 picks in the top-15 tonight if they trade Eichel and Reinhart. Really not a bad way to kick off a rebuild.

 

[couture23]

Kevyn Adams man, well done.

 

[TheGoldenGod]

What do the d-pairings look like in Philly now?

 

[Burnie97]

Buffalo wins this easy.

Philly is changing up there D though big time.
