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

[Nucker42]

Risto is ufa next year???!?!

 

[Colin226]

Philly fired Hextall because he wanted to be patient. This is what ownership gets for demanding to win now.

 

[TheWolfOfBroadStreet]

Not thrilled.

 

[Gil Gunderson]

lmao

 

[tellermine]

Good trade.
Quite sure Ristolainen will be good player for Flyers.

He was really good before covid last season. Sadly team around was horrible again.

 

[kerrabria]

I know there's 0 chance that the reporting got Risto mixed up with Dahlin, but I would much, much, much more quickly believe that was the return for Dahlin than f***ing Ristolainen.

 

[Drumman44]

This is a truly terrible trade.

 

[TrufleShufle]

You guys are underselling this trade so much, they will have this player literally the entire season. Can't put a price on that.

 

[PriceIsGod]

 

[TheReelChuckFletcher]

Entirely different trade contexts. Isles were up against the cap and Buffalo is tanking yet again.

 

[Taluss]

I honestly feel bad for Flyers fans. Especially SnS who is having a complete breakdown it seems.

Oh well, I hope they do well this year

 

[OVO16]

Stan Bowman after seeing this trade

 

[CornerStone61]

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

No chance McTavish does, Sillinger might. Would be 13th OV I believe as well.

 

[periferal]

And Ristolainen is a UFA next year....!??!?


Holy Jesus Flyers. This is a next level deal. I haven't been this happy for the Sabres since...Since....

Well I'm just happy for them.

 

[Beerfish]

Steep for sure but this one has all the hall marks of being an hfboards universally condemned move that turns out good for the team making the 'terrible move'

 

[snowkiddin]

So, are we all in agreement that Chuck Fletcher really screwed the pooch here?

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

I have always found that he gets blamef the Sabres being shit, if he gets moved tonight to a decent team I think we will see what he can really do when he is on a good team

 

[cyberpunk]

Philly overpayment much? Sounds like they are in a win now mode instead of a rebuild. or Risto is always on a rebuilding team...

 

[Cupless44]

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

McTavish wont even fall to 9 for Canucks

 

[Iwishihadaspacebar]

Kevyn Adams = legit.

Some deal for the Sabres.

 

[Ziggdiezan]

This seems absolutely horrid right? All of that for Risto!?!?!?

 

[SnS]

I want to throw up.

 

[Nucks N Canes]

I know there's 0 chance that the reporting got Risto mixed up with Dahlin, but I would much, much, much more quickly believe that was the return for Dahlin than f***ing Ristolainen.

If that was the return for Dahlin there would be a riot in Buffalo.

 

[Kravtsov420]

Go home Philly, you're drunk.

 

[Ace]

This is the worst trade I've ever seen.

I love it.

 

[Evgeny Oliker]

I don’t think this trade is that bad. This is not a draft with any high-end talent so the 13th overall will not give you a star.

I do think Ristolainen will play much better in Philly than he did in Buffalo.

 

[paulhiggins]

Good deal if you're Buffalo.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

2 picks for Buffalo now. Do they come away with a Grigorenko + Girgensons? Or Ristolainen + Zadorov
