Could see bowman putting up a couple 2nds for a retained risto. He would be a top 3 guy on that blue line

Lots of youth; not a lot of veteran experience. He and Sanheim are it.

And Nick Seeler, and Erik Johnson. (Also, Louie Belpedio is just as old as Sanheim, down in Lehigh Valley, so if we're desperate for people who can't make a U25 team, we've got at least one more option) There's absolutely room for the Flyers to move at least one of the four (preferably two, but I know t.he limitations of the Flyers' idea of a "rebuild") while still having plenty of Veteran Presence available to them. Hopefully they're not looking at Risto being desperately important just because he's a veteran, there are plenty of those out there, and we could take back a lesser vet in a trade anyway.

I feel as though this is the kind of trade Edmonton is going to commit to soon. I don't think Risto is the piece they need on the right side and they can't afford to get him at his full salary.

So as the wrong guy for too much $$$ it seems like the inevitable move Bowman is going to make,

What would be fair value?
1st round pick that you do not have... plus a prospect and no.. no 50% off his salary.
