radoran Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Meltzer reporting that the Flyers have been talking with Buffalo about Ristolainen for three years.

yave1964 Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Dont understand this at all. Risto is a flawed player, ten percent better than Gudas playing the same type of game. Useful player but an awful lot to give up for him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would pretty much guarantee Frost turning into a star. 42 minutes ago, RonJeremy said: 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. Don't worry about not having many...soon we won't have any. As for FAs...can't wait to sign the next guy who's been benched by his last 2 teams and who says he won't play for the Flyers unless they overpay him.

Howie58 Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 I wonder if our management team is deluded about the farm or prospects in hand. Do they think we don't need more? Are they scared after Patrick, Rubstov, and Morin? Yikes, this one is hard to understand. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yave1964 Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 okay a bit of devils advocate. Hagg a former second rounder in the equivalant of three full seasons averaged 4 goals and 15 total points with no upside. He plateaued and he is what he is, a third pair stay at home guy and a decent penalty killer, not great, just decent. Ristolainen while his offense has stalled averages 8 goals and 34 points and loves to hit and block shots. His awful, simply dreadful plus/minus for most of his career could be because of his awful/dreadful team for whom he has played. I would feel a lot better about this if the return was a 2nd in 2022 or a little better if the return was this years first, but not both, the picks seem a bit much together, maybe if you had conviced Buffalo to take Voracek off your hands in excahnge for the picks too it would make more sense. I dont personally consider Hagg much of a futurebut a first and a second most certainly are. Still Ellis is better than Ghost, Risto is better than Hagg so short term the Flyers are improved on the back end it all comes down to the overall cost as far as what Buffalo does with the picks. A saving grace is it is Buffalo so they are bound to screw it up anyway..... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pilldoc Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 (edited) This says it all ........ https://dobberhockey.com/2021/07/23/fantasy-take-ristolainen-somehow-traded-to-philadelphia/ Rasmus Ristolainen is truly one of the few remaining divides in the online hockey community. A lot of 200 Hockey Men proponents see a big body playing 22-25 minutes a night and think he's an absolute lock to be a fringe top-pair guy. People who are more into underlying numbers have seen Ristolainen drown in the deep end for years and are wondering what everyone else sees. Below is his entire career by offensive and defensive impacts. Offence is the top row and defence is the bottom row. Having positive numbers in the top row is good – it indicates a positive offensive impact – and having negative numbers on the bottom row is also good – it indicates you're below the league average for shot rates/quality allowed. So, red on the top row is good, and blue on the bottom row is good. Got it? (from HockeyViz): There are 16 individual tiles, and only one is a positive impact at either end (offensively in 2016-17). He has been atrocious almost his entire career. I will say that his latest years show some improvement on his right side specifically, so maybe there’s *something* there defensively. But he’s still a black hole offensively so even getting some defensive value out of him isn’t enough to balance it out. Before anyone says, "well, yeah, Buffalo has been awful the entire time," that is true. But these measurements also take line mate and opponents into context, which is why Rasmus Dahlin has a positive offensive impact in 2/3 seasons and yet Ristolainen in only 1/8; Dahlin is good and Risto is not. The other side of the coin is whether he can turn his career around in his new environment. He will be going to learn under Michel Therrien and Alain Vigneault. Call me skeptical. Either way, in real life, this is a massive loss for the Flyers, and in fantasy, this appears to be a loss for Ristolainen owners. I suppose, on the upside, if Philly's goaltending rights itself, the days of Ristolainen going minus-30 or minus-40 in a season and thus murdering his fantasy value are over with. On the flip side, this is great news for Dahlin owners. I mean, it could be some tough sledding for a few years until they fully re-tool, but Dahlin his now the lock on the top PP unit, whereas Ristolainen had been eating into his minutes at times Bottom line ....this totally blows ...... Not even gonna watch the draft tonight ...who the eff cares ...apparently not the Flyers FO. Edited July 23, 2021 by pilldoc 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
