Thread: Flyers Add Another 1st Rounder
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ceeque84</b></div><div>Clearly you are very unaware of Edmonton's current cap situation. Also, Risto is not getting philly a first.</div></div>

Ceci <div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>PurpleHippo</b></div><div>Risto isn't getting a first, if he is he's being retained 50% and you're not getting Foegele with it.</div></div>

With the Term on Ristos deal...he can be flipped for assets down the road he just isnt a rental...he is absolutely worth a 1st in his own right...and Ceci as a cap dump adds to the value...this deal honestly probably favors EDM too much and Philly would probably prefer to hold on to Risto for his value now up until there is only 1 year left on his deal....and then obtain the assets and trade him as a rental...as you can see...at the trade deadline, players (especially Righ-Handed Defensemen) command a pretty significant return...i.e Tanev, Walker, etc.

Thread: Flyers Add Another 1st Rounder
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>YeahRighttt</b></div><div>Ah great. We have traded on Avs fans for Flyers fans trying to pawn “Ryjo” off on the Hawks.
The answer is still the same: pay or find another team.</div></div>

Are the Hawks giving a good faith effort to compete and put out the best possible roster under the circumstances? I think not. Ryjo could earn a spot on that roster until the end of this season at the very least...His buried cap hit is only 2.85 if he doesnt make the team next season...and then his deal expires.

I honestly dont care if Ryjo stays in the Flyers organization. I chose the Hawks for Ryjo bc i think the Hawks firesaling and not trying to find any sort of viable replacements for the remaining games this season is shameful. The league should investigate them for tanking for not picking up players like Ryan Johansen who has 13 Goals this year and has a proven track record in the NHL and the Hawks have the cap space.

The math maths. I know because I did it. You either (1) did not do the math, or (2) made a mistake.

EDM takes on 5.1M..... PHI takes on 5M....that surely is an amount that any team can accommodate after 60+ games played. That is like an additional 20K cap hit because the entire 100k difference (which is minute) will not be the entire amount.

The first rd pick is compensation not just for Risto....it is for the cap dump of Ceci. Foegele is a throw in to make the cap work. So, again did you just not know the salaries here or what? And how did you think I was unaware of the cap situation, which i clearly accounted for because I threw in the 6th rd pick for EDM retaining the salary on Foegele, which is around market value....4th and 5th rd picks have been given for teams retaining around 1.5-2M, this is a bit less and EDM gets a player with term on the contract so...idk idk see how this would be a miss for EDM.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NickCH79</b></div><div>Flyers don’t need to be better, they are tanking, so with that in mind why would they take on a player for 4 years who fills the same role as Laughton, he’d be 4th line center and we don’t need a 2.4mill 4th liner center, definitely not if we are giving up picks</div></div>

The main point is this.

NHL GMs don’t “look a gift horse in the mouth.”

The fact is the Flyers aren’t tanking, they are trying to build a winning culture.

This is a deal where the Flyers are getting the clear better end of the bargain, they are getting the better player and this better player will play and he will likely retain his value even after a 1,2, or even 3 seasons. At which time the Flyers will recover the 3rd rd pk they spent to get him (maybe it’s a lower pick but still recovering something lessens the cost). Hence why this deal is a no-brained which the Leafs would never offer in the first place.
