Getting the #13 overall for Risto would be incredible, let alone another 2nd. Shows that Risto does indeed have value, and protecting him over Will Borgen was the right move. All of you that freaked out over that, look at what we just got for Risto.

Darn you.  Just got Brawndo'd. 😉

 

[KC Scouts]

As per Van Miller..........Fasten your seat belts!

[Hoss]

The Reality of Risto is somewhere between the Charts Guys and what Chuck Fletcher just paid.

[Digger]

I wonder if we retain some salary?

I will always love Risto's style, just wish he was a better overall player.

For that price they should be retaining 200%

Risto more value than Eichel?

We still have Joki and Miller that are RHD.

But it's a weak draft.....lol

I find it hard to believe they got that much for Risto but then again I always liked him and think the team will sadly miss his aggressiveness. We are a far too easy team to play against and without Risto there is no one to hit anybody. It is a good return mind you and I have no doubt Risto will do really well in Philly (and we have to face him a bunch of times which won't be fun)

[BuffaloStanleyCup]

Happy with the trade - even w/o the player.

[Hoss]

Ah man the charts guys all say Robert Hagg sucks and they haven’t been wrong in line 15 minutes so now I’m sad.

[pi2000]

Can't believe he's finally gone.

And for the 13th OA, plus?  Well done KA!

I still want someone that punches people in the face 

[WildCard]

Looks like Buffalo has a certain guy in mind they want to draft 

[Curt]

Hot damn!  Thank you Chucky Fletch, Thank you Kevy Adams!

Well, he's a cheap flyer..... or I guess Sabre now

Hagg isn't too much of a factor here and the second rounder is a big maybe that won't even be selected for 2 years, we're talking 5+ years until impact, if any, so it amounts to the 13th overall for Ristolainen. It's definitely great market value by Adams. One way to look at it though is a 50/50 shot at a guy who contributes significantly in a few years for a player that, right now, plays among the most NHL minutes of all the humans playing in the NHL. Add in a healthy dose of "we can fix him" from Fletcher and the way he expects that fanbase to come around to Risto based on his physical play, I can understand why the Flyers did it.

Wallstedt or Cossa? 

[steveoath]

From other thread. My Flyers supporting mate says...

"Hagg. 25/25 years old. Cheap. Not great. 7th defence man or maybe on the 3rd line."
