Rumor: Things Not Left Unsaid: Flyers Rumors & Media Mentions

[Curufinwe]

By taken a look he means they watched his 78 minutes of ice time this season, plus every shift from all of Risto's playoff games.

So it took less than an hour and a half, total.

Sometimes it only takes one game for a team to decide to re-sign someone.

That fabled Caps game. Stuff of legend.

Flyers were playing better before Risto came back, so really, it's net neutral at worst to trade him.

Like you can measure Ristolainen's contribution to the culture! Just like his universally accepted suitability for the playoffs despite never having played in the postseason, Ristolainen doesn't have to touch the ice to show his value.

Oskars Bartulis was another. He got a new contract after 10 games and bought out after 56 more.

Have we had a Latvian player since? I can't remember us having another?

Because the teams not good enough and any oppurtunity to move out big contract and gain an asset is a step towards getting better?

And if no team matches that ask…..do they get what they really want? No trade?

With what the Flyers have on D in their system, would signing him to an extension be that outrageous?

It would make perfect sense. For them.

Then come to the realization of being stuck with an unwanted contact within a year later.

If Danny really is getting interest in Walker/Risto and somehow parlays them into high draft capital then I'll be a happy camper. But it really is the next big step in his tenure. Does he make a good deal from a position of strength or does he fumble the bag and overplay it/buys at the deadline cause delusions. On the next episode of As The Flyers Turn: The Ballad of Briere arc.

Well, he already blew it with Laughton...we aren't getting the rumoured offer from the summer anymore

 

[trostol]

if he traded Walker and Risto i would be shocked...as it would show for the first time in ages the team was doing some long term thinking

 

[BernieParent]

To me, Walker just seems ripe for the typical huge contract on the best season of his career, increase in minutes, then back down to earth. It wouldn't be the end of the world if Briere resigned him but it would be the exact situation that is ideal for a rebuilding team, and then a whiff after falling in love with the player playing over his head. Not to mention how ridiculous it would be to stonewall deals for either of the RHDs who would be best suited for second-pairing.

If they can move on from Risto, I would be happy.

Signing Walker to a mid-length deal isn't the worst idea. I agree, it would be on the best year of his career, and if they can't move Risto, then I'd move Walker in that scenario.

But my priority would be to move Risto. I like what Walker brings and the way he plays, and that can be a help in the development of how the team and other players play as well. Risto, to me, adds no value.

This would be such a win for our team and for Danny. Seriously such a big win.

Friedman on 32 thoughts repeating the nonsense about not messing with the room we have heard from Charlie and others.

A rebuilding team doesn't change direction after 2 months. So dumb

Yeah if he gets it. I don’t move him for less than that though.

They have been sticklers for ‘culture’ and whatnot, it’s easy to see how they don’t want to disrupt the chemistry of the room by sending people out when they’ve overachieved relative to expectations and striking a blow to morale. We hear it all over the league, nobody ever wants to trade a player off the roster if they’re playing for something unless there’s a roster or cap crunch.

They’re not rebuilding so it makes sense to not subtract from the roster.

 

[BiggE]

They aren’t rebuilding, they never rebuild. At the deadline, they’ll swap Staal for a 7th and Poehling for a 5th and Torts will go on and on about how much both will be missed.

and then they will slump..go on a losing streak..miss out on both playoffs and the chance to trade good pieces and pick like..15th
