Seattle might.. certainly have it and it would make a splash.
- niteislander

A splash it would definitely make. An overpayment, it would definitely be as well. I don't see anyone going too much over $8m. If even that much. He's an asset to whichever team signs him but he's a UFA at the wrong time money-wise.

Philly is loading up on D. They still need goaltending though.

Ristolainen traded to Philly for a package that looks like has the 13th pick in this years draft.

Does not seem close to someone that will put the Flyers over the top.

Well if Ristolainen is worth that much then Seth Jones might cost the entire net worth of Jeff Bezos

Was thinking that package was enough for Jones, I guess the market is elsewhere.

Nice read.. I remember going to the Frozen Four his freshman year and he and Brock were in it. I was excited to see them both play. I think Brock got hurt on his first shift and ND lost to Minn-Duluth, and Lee got banged up and hardly played.

I like Risto more than most...in the right system, I think he could be a really solid, punishing d-man and look a lot better than he looked in Buffalo. Like, if Mayfield was in Buffalo, I'm sure he'd get walked by a lot of the faster forwards because he wouldn't have anywhere near the support he gets on the Isles.

But, that said, Buffalo pretty much just pulled Philly's pants down on this trade!

Yeah, I agree that you can't judge the guy playing on that crap team. I have a feeling he will be ok in Philly.

Oh I’m sure he’ll be excellent in Philly. He’s better than his time in Buffalo suggests.

But still. That’s a steep (frank)ing price to pay for 1 guaranteed year.

I'm just glad the Isles are already regarded as "tough" so they don't have to jump on the crazy train in this Acquire All The Size And Toughness offseason.
