<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>clouson</b></div><div>So much hate on a guy who played with mediocre teams all his life. Risto is so under rated only because he never was well surrounded.
Put him in the Rangers on the top pair and he suddenly becomes a Brent Burns in his prime. Y'all might think i'm crazy, but Risto was making 0.5 pts/game in a basement team year after year.
Put him in a team full of talent like the rangers, he will challenge Fox for points and i'm not even kidding. The guy is a stud and Flyers already said his price for him. It aint gonna be cheap.

Add to that, that the rangers will be contenders for a long time so their 1st rounders are not worth as much as if it was a Coyotes or Buffalo 1st. We're talking late 1st round pick and a defensive prospect for a guy who is already established in the NHL and can play at a high level on day 1. Rangers wants to win now, not in 5 years.
+ you get a salary discount on him.

Hate the deal all you want, but if the rangers believed in their chances this year, they would do it.</div></div>

Rangers are fine at RD, not to mention he's a free agent this summer so to resign Friedman said they were working off a deal starting with a 6. Why would the Rangers give up a first and a prospect for a position that is fine as is and will be cheaper for them in the long run? could use the first on a forward and save money instead of paying a premium for a poor rental? Not arguing with the return if that's what the Flyers hope to receive just pointing out I don't think he fits the Rangers here.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>AJC13</b></div><div>I believe the highest DAL, NYI, and VAN, can pick is 24th overall. And the 4 teams eliminated in the 2nd round will draft 24th, 25th, 26th, and 27th overall. The 2 teams eliminated in the 3rd round will draft 28th and 29th. While the 2 teams advancing to play for Lord Stanley's Cup will draft 30th and 31st. Regular season record only determines your draft order within the group of teams eliminated in the same playoff round.</div></div>

I'm pretty sure the regular season has an effect on the draft order too? At least until the conference finals and beyond anyway? Lightning got first rounded last season and still picked 27th in the draft and CBJ pick was 19th despite them going further.
