Yeah but are they any closer to using him to his strengths(2nd pairing with a pure defensive D, top PP), or just more "he's big so he must be a shutdown D!"...while trotting out Yandle on the PP for the sake of turning the ironman record into a gimmick? Or, more likely, a guaranteed job in the old boys club means never having to admit a mistake?

Seems about right….used as a second pairing d. Should at least get a chance at the PP as their Pp is god awful. Not an over pay for once which is strange for the Flyers.

GM's like Fletcher is why every fan of the game knows they cant do worse than him. how a man can be paid so much to do such a bad job for so long is baffling. who can i talk to within the Flyers organization about a job?

When a team wins then everyone looks better, but when a team loses everyone looks twice as bad.

As I said in the last thread: per Friedman sounds like extension with Risto is close. He was bang on the AAV too.

Hey at least you didn’t sign him to a stupid contract like Nurse got. Pretty similar players.

Meh. Not horrible. Hopefully the rest of the team come opening day 2022 is the right mix.

If there's a better example than this that Darwin was egregiously wrong, I don't know what it is.

Risto is a good dude and a workhorse defenseman. It's a shame he hasn't figured out his position, as he's always caught out of place. The contract isn't horrible though

Ooof isn't that a huge over-payment and term??





I thought a lot of Flyers fans were clamoring for him to be dealt.

He must be the best guy ever. He always seems to be well liked even though he's bad at hockey. It's funny because he shouldn't be bad at hockey. Almost every game you can see why he should be good at hockey, but he is only about 25% of the time. That's just way too low.

He just must be funny as hell in the room.

He's Dion Phaneuf but without the early career shooting accuracy.
