Since his benching at the begining of last season and the coaching he has had Rasmus has become a solid D-man and a top 3 role. His minutes are way up and he's jumping into the offense more.

I don't think think any contender should waste resources on Finnish Jack Johnson.
 
I haven’t watched a ton of Flyers games but the ones I have seen, I thought he looked much improved defensively. He doesn’t look totally lost in his own end now. Playing for a good team on the second or third pair at 50% retention would be great for Florida.

No idea what deal it would take to get him there though. Florida doesn’t have a ton of pieces to trade.
 
He's had a lot of really tough games in his career and has dealt with a lot of injury. It's to be seen whether this year is an illusion or if Brad Shaw actually fixed him to fulfill whatever potential. With his contract, where the flyers are in the rebuild, and the play of Grans/Andrea on D looking promising. it makes sense to trade him relatively soon....before he gets his yearly injury.
 
What would be the offer?
Knight for Risto @50% and 1st (of your choice).

Flyers get their goalie of the future and Florida gets a second pairing guy to play with his fellow countryman Mikkola. Risto would fit Maurice's system like a glove.

Risto has been very good this year. But I would happily trade him to whomever offers something north of nothing
You make no damn sense. Trade a physical RH defenseman, who's played well for almost 2 years on a mediocre too bad team, and you want to trade him for "something north of nothing " ? :rolleyes:

Flyers would want a C prospect for sure. They are stacked at G prospects.

I wouldn't call Knight a prospect anymore. He just needs games at this point which he isn't getting in Florida. And seeing that goaltending is a major issue for the Flyers at the moment, I thought he would be a fit.
