<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ZM_NYR</b></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></div>

Risto said no to 6m/year for 6 years with the flyers because I believe he wants to play with a contender and he is tired to be on a rebuilding team. I don't think the money was the problem, I believe its the team. I'm sure he would play for 4.5m if the rangers or another contender offered him. I think he hates to do a long contract because he knows he could be worth more in a year or 2 with a good team.
Honestly, as a flyers fan, I'm pissed that he wants to leave because he is one of the only good asset we have and can cheer for.
He shows emotions, passion, hits hard, big body, produces numbers when given the opportunity. It's a shame to lose him and any team should be happy to aquire him. He will be a great addition to any contender.

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 class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Sicksi</b></div><div>meh. hes a 2nd line winger who happens to be fast. always has been, that fluke season in 20 was great and all but it made our fans think hes something which he isnt. a guy who can help "carry" a team. his true signs showed towards the end of that season where he couldnt get a goal. love the guy but it might be time to move on</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MGabes19</b></div><div>Me too, but RHD are so expensive nowadays...</div></div>

I agree but I love TK for his energy. He is a rat on the ice and he gets under people's skin fast. He might not always put up the stats but I believe he is a very talented winger who has emotions on the ice. Things we like as flyers fans. This year we were stormed by injuries and couldnt catch a break. Rough year all around. Last year was rough for everyone with covid and division schedules.
I'd give TK 1 more year to see what he is all about. I still believe in him.

But a RHD wouldnt be a bad thing to have, I cant argue that.
