Seeing a lot of chatter that the Jones trade (Spencer Knight and a 1st) with just 26% retention making Jones a $7M or so player should mean good things for Risto's value. Jones is probably the better player, but maybe not dramatically? Risto's 5M expiring next year (age 31) compared to Jones' 7M expiring in in 2030 (age 35) is much more attractive though. Plus Jones has a modified NTC and was squawking in the media about wanting to be moved.

Man. If the Flyers fetch even just a 1st for Risto, what a turnaround that would be. Kudos to Torts and Shaw for sure.
Well looks like we're stuck again. Yea! get to keep 2 players who don't move the needle in our growth movement at all. Briere is a failure in this one. SMH.:L

Sounds like he will definitely get dealt. That's a lot of teams involved. This will drive the price up, especially as the deadline fast approaches. Less than 3 days remaining, altogether.

Sucks to be a goalie in Philly tonight. There were enough scoring chances in that 1st period for an entire game. Jesus!! Game definitely not over yet. Pretty much anything could happen.
The Flyers just have not yet recovered from the Carter Hart fiasco. All the attempts to get a decent goalie and this is the state of the Flyers right now. Maybe Danny B should really focus on the Goalie and a Center positions in the next draft?

Need a top line defender even more.

We're really fucked after the despicable Canadien government robbed us of our franchise goalie.

No one even complains about it. It's a disgrace what happened.

I agree, eaglesnut. Well maybe if we get Canada as the 51 state, then the Hart debacle may disappear sooner rather than later. lol.

Yeah, Alberta has been leading the way for Canada to accept the 51st State invitation by Trump. Should be interesting to see what transpire going forward!

The effort on everyone on the ice was embarrassing in a pretty much must was win game
I really don't think the must-win game was on Tuesday. We lost this season in December, January and the first week of February. 11-16-4 across that stretch. That includes 7 losses to division rivals and only 9 regulation wins. We didn't get enough wins or points and fell too far behind.

I fully expect Winnipeg to spank us tonight too and get some measure of revenge for beating them 5 nights ago.

You mean a top line center or a top pairing defenseman? Probably both are needed. I'm not as worried about goalie. We definitely have some in the pipeline already and Ersson isn't bad. The defense in front of him is worse. Drysdale and Zamula are a combined -28. Zamula was +3 last season in 66 games. He's definitely regressed. Drysdale is improving and still has the worst +/- on the team.

The Devils are probably done now with Jack Hughes out for the season. Both of my fantasy teams had him too, so that's a bit of a bummer. Perhaps I can still work it out, idk. My teams are 18-0 and 16-2, but that is a huge hit to take. He sits 12th overall in the Nhl with 149.5 fantasy points. You can't come close to replacing him, even with a lot of decent players in free agency.

Nelson to the Avs for a 1st, 3rd, and Cal Ritchie.

Holy crap that’s a lot.

Dreger says the Flyers ask for Risto is a 1st, a prospect, and a player. Laughton price is "a haul".

Not going to get a better market than having the top RHD and top C on the block on deadline day. Get it done Danny.

So basically the same BS we've been hearing last two years. Well at least he's a locker room guy, that's definitely helping us win games!:tsk::doh:

At this point I'm going to be pissed if he doesn't move both of them. I don't care if he doesn't get those prices he's asking for. If he gets anything close to those prices he should pull the trigger. The asks are absolutely absurd for guys that caliber.
