You NEVER make a move for the sake of making a move. In this case, it's a bad move made even worse by a GM that panicked. The Flyers paid less for Ellis than they did Ristolainen. Let that sink in for a moment. To add to it, they acquired a defenseman who was even worse than a defenseman they got rid of in Gostisbehere. Schmuck Flechered the Flyers with this deal. Awful, awful, awful. And to think, they still have to make moves to clear salary. Just watch how much of a gape Schmuck takes moving JVR and Voracek......

Well, for starters, Montour is WAY better than Risto, as is Savard and they are UFAs...only cap hit. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frost will be one of the pieces used to dump Jake, and are there actually and FA goal scorers worth signing? We already gave a first and two seconds plus Meyers. Suddenly we don’t have so many assets. Next year is when the big name FAs are actually available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

albertaflyer Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 There was two different scouts on the radio this morning up here. Both said don't be surprised if you see some 1st round picks being moved. Because of not playing last year, this years draft is a toss up. A lot of teams feel they can get the player they want in the later rounds. I don't see the first being traded this year as that big of deal. I was actually hoping they were going to move it. Most have Power as being number 1 yet I have seen two other scouting reports that have him ranked low as 7th. That's the type of draft this is. The Flyer's just traded for a former top 10 draft pick with a huge up side. The guy fills a need. Right shot and plays tough. Those guys don't come cheap. The knock on the Flyers D last year was how soft they were. They have filled that need in the last week. Now just think of what Columbus was asking for Jones. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We sent out Patrick, Myers,Ghost, Hagg, a 1st, 2 2nds, a 7th AND lost 3 mill in cap space for Ellis and Risto. Plus, 1 long term deal in Ellis and a 1 year deal for 5.5 that will be extended due to the price that was paid. Seeing this **** show Risto will get 7 years at 7 mill per...pffft...we are ****ed!!

JR Ewing Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Do I have this right? 1st, 2nd and 3rd to get rid of Ghost and pick up Risto. 30-yr old Ellis with 6x 6.25M for Myers @ 2×2.55 and losing Patrick as well. At best Philly is expending assets just to tread water. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a reason he went undrafted. As for Patrick. Can anyone actually be mad they got rid of Patrick. The guy plays scared on the ice. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cue up the funeral March... I truly believe Risto is one of the worst d men in the league. Myers has a WAY higher hockey IQ. .. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really thought the Ellis deal was one of the best deals in recent Flyer memory. This one in combination with the Gotstobethere one is among the worst in franchise history. Hagg, Ghost, 1 1st, 2 2nds, and a 7th for Ristolainen? Seriously? And I like Ristolainen more than most around here... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On top of that we are stuck with three huge contracts and soon to be four when we re-sign Coots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jammer2 Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Risto makes 5.5 mill on his last year. He will demand a raise, which Fletcher WILL HAVE TO GIVE HIM. Or, he stinks so bad we let him walk, sadly...this is the best outcome!@ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now need to work on a top six shoot first guy. Dude must be overjoyed to be out of buffalo The only problem with this is that his defense blows. Omg, I hate this trade.

ruxpin Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 The ONLY part of this trade that I like is that someone is currently spitting halibut on the windshield and steering wheel of his Lumina and further staining his picture of Ryan Miller. I don't know who, but someone is. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
