Ristolainen might have been drafted 13th overall ...

8 years ago!


Also, NRD on twitter said that Buffalo's asking price was solid prospect and a 2nd round pick.

Chuck Fletcher blew that out of the water.

I voted for the Buffalo Sabres smile

Really solid return, much more than most were predicting. Good on Adams. I love Risto and am sad to see his time in a Sabres jersey come to an end. Hope he tears it up in Philly and makes the playoffs. At least he gets to play Ovi way more now that they are in the same div.

My apologies to Ken Holland when I said the Keith trade would be the worst of this offseason

A lot of us spend hours here combing through data and cross-referencing against other AGMs to meticulously craft unique, fair-value trades.

And then some jackass in a suit comes along and does something like this. Every goddamn year.

What's the point? We're never gonna get it right tears of joy

Ignoring Risto as a player for a second: the Flyers have up a Top 15 pick, a player, and a 2nd round pick for a rental who will no even be on their top pair.

Huge win for the Sabres, the 1st round pick didnt need to be included, hell even the 2nd is a little much.
Not sure what the Flyers are doing... giving up assets to rid themselves of Ghostisbehere, and then overpaying for Risto....neither great defensively and Risto is a UFA in a year.

Can we get a check on who the 1 person is that voted that Philly won this trade? I think we found Chucks burner account.

Buffalo got the best player in the deal. Adams has pulled off the biggest heist of the century.

This might actually be one of the worst trades ever in the NHL, if you think about the fact that Flyers just paid a lot of assets to move Ghost only to replace him with Risto, who is not that big of an upgrade over him.

Seriously, someone needs to take his phone away from him. Took him 48 hrs to go from genius to setting the team up to miss the playoffs while leveraging the future. What did we do to deserve this idiot?

So Philadelphia paid a 1st, two 2nds, a 7th, Robert Hagg and Ghost for Rasmus Ristolainen.

Wow.

This might be the worst trade since… the Nedeljkovic trade lol. GMs never learn to look at the analytics. This is an absurd price for a rental. Kekalainen just soiled himself imagining what he can get for Jones now.

At least the Nedeljkovic trade can be explained, by saying that you think he's not as good as his small sample of NHL games so far suggests, and that you didn't see him as future #1 material. Here, you have a guy's whole career to prove -- not merely suggest -- that as a rental, he wasn't worth the 13th overall selection in this year's draft.

Hagg and the second I could see. This one's inexplicable.
