Thread: Anderson trade to annoy people
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>phillyjabroni</b></div><div>I'm not the biggest Risto fan, but I think guys like Holmgren and Clarke should have a voice in personnel. Not the ultimate decider, but some influence. Holmgren build some good teams during his time with Philadelphia, kinda went out badly with Bryz signing but the Richards and Carter trades were homeruns. Risto is a good skater and plays physically, something the Flyers need. I wouldn't advocate for brining back the bullies but someone like Anderson would be a guy I'd like to get. Time to move on from the soft players.</div></div>

I'd be fine with Risto if they traded some mid round pick for him not a 1st and 2nd rounder for a player with objectively bad stats. I'd be fine if they resigned him for one or two million dollars to play on the third pair. Not a 5x5 for a guy who clearly isn't a top 4 D. You can add physicality and grit without paying a premium for it. I think Clarke and Holgrem are way out of touch with today's game. The team has been terrible for a decade plus. Those old alumni still having a say are a denominator of it. I don't care if players are soft so long as they're good. That's what the flyers need, good players. Not players who would of been good in the 90s.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>dannibalcorpse</b></div><div>Chuck Fletcher is the gift that keeps on giving for everyone outside Philadelphia - I cannot wait to see how he decided to top "#14 and next year's 2nd for Rasmus Risotlainen" this summer!!</div></div>

I don't chuck fletcher is the one making decisions at this point. Flyers are completely irrelevant in Phildelphia at this point. Ownership won't let them blow it up and lose even more fans in the short term regardless if it's what's best in the long term. Also, youre kidding yourself if you dont think Bobby Clarke and Paul Holmgren, etc still have a say in the front office. Risto is the exact player those old fossils in the front office think is a good player in today's game. Until Clarke and the rest of the old boys club die, because they're not retiring, the flyers will continue to be stuck in the past.
