JE NE PEUX PAS CROIRE QUE KEVYN ADAMS A OBTENU UN PREMIER CHOIX POUR RASMUS RISTOLAINEN. LAISSER SEUL LE 13ÈME CHOIX ?!? Dans le premier de ce qui pourrait être quelques échanges effectués par les Sabres aujourd’hui, le directeur général Kevyn Adams a échangé Rasmus Ristolainen aux Flyers de Philadelphie en échange d’un 1er, d’un 2e et de Robert Hagg. Je donne mes pensées. AUSSI je collecte des fonds pour la recherche contre le cancer.

Risto wasn’t hurting Buffalo, it was Buffalo that was hurting Risto
Me laughing at the flyers being ripped off
Philly fan and contrary to morons worried about a Top RDs Corsi on the worst team in the league, this guy is going to SHINE in Philadelphia. Thank You Buffalo!!! Look at Taylor Hall after a half of season in Buffalo. He wanted OUT FOR YEARS! Why tf would he shine in Buffalo? Taylor Hall, Ryan O'Reilly, etc. etc. If anyone really thinks skilled players Rasmus Ristolainen and Jack Eichel aren't gonna explode on their next (especially if they're significantly better) teams. You do know 10 different teams offered 1st round packages right? Guess your all smarter than half the GMs in the league.👍 🤣😂You do know your team us gonna be worse right and you have NO replacements for the Elite talent yoir sending our for years right? Sorry but you can have that 1st, 2nd, and Hagg for a forner 8th overall gritty Physical. 50 point per game top4Rd with a bad corsi on LITERALLY the worst team in the league! Sorry but those ARE DEF the bounce backs you bet on!
Philly should've went after Eichel too. (Who's probably gonna look terrible this season after Adams refuses to trade him after requesting out). Kinda funny how that works and players do that sometimes huh? 🤔lol
Everyone LITERALLY a couple years ago: " I can't The Blues gave up that much for Ryan O'Reilly. Why would they do that? I don't understand. Not a smart move. What an overpayment."
Then again. "But what Taylor Hall will Boston be getting from Buffalo?
See where I'm going with this?" Lol
Rasmus Ristolainen and The Flyers are going on Cup Runs the next few years. Mark my words.
That was one of the only movable assets good enough to trade for a D-man of his size and what he brings to our top 4. The other rumors had TK or Bee going, so I'll happily give up a first in a shallow, weak draft for a player that will make an immediate impact vs waiting a few years down the road. PHI is in win now mode, and I think Risto helps not only in two way ability, but grit and presence that has been absent since Wayne Simmonds, even Chris Pronger; something we lacked in 2019-20 in the playoffs (besides, of course, scoring (@Cam Atkinson)). Also, might I add, he won't be on the flaming center-stage hot seat first line role in PHI, he'll play top 4 on a line with a competent and consistent defensemen in Sanheim. Also have fun with Hagg, he'll fit in beautifully with the forgetfulness with the Sabres roster.
joyous video lol a cold show is what you need
Idk about trusting analytics for the sabres lol
Sabres are and we’re the worst team since he’s come into the NHL. Now that he has a better team all around him, he will bloom with Ivan Provorov
Robert Hagg ain’t no better than Risto. So pump the brakes son.
Ristolainen played with Bryson then Samuelsson last year on Buff's top line… both rookies. Borgen played on Buff's 3rd line with Bryson last year or Colin Miller or Montour or Irwin. Finally, when Buff's was playing 5 young D, all under 23 or 24, Ristolainen was on the top pair for Buffalo (Samuelsson, Jokiharju, Dahlin, Bryson and Borgen).
Mel: ..AND we got Hagg?? WHAT?? Philly what are you doing?!?
…20 seconds later…
Mel: I'm not gonna say anything about Hagg. I'm not gonna pretend like I know anything about him.
Look look that someone probably lol
Lets go flyers
I still say Risto for Provorov STRAIGHT UP would’ve been a beautiful trade but…I’m content with the return here! 👍🏻↔️
I would say that I'm surprised by Fletcher tradeing our first and a second in '23 (with Hagg) for Risto.
However…
I feel like Rasmus fits in wonderfully well here, and at 5.4 AAV this year, he will get a new deal before summer time next year. Otherwise, we wouldn't have given up that much for him.
And honestly, I HATED playing against this dude when we played Buffalo, but now? I'm going to LOVE having him in orange and black! 😉
As far as Hagg goes, I hope he can crack the lineup every game. He's an awesome penalty killer (even though we sucked there), solid 3rd pair, MAYBE 2nd pair guy depending on how good your pairs shake out there. I wish him well, I'll sort-of-kind-of miss him here lol.
P.S. subscribed and notified! =)
If there was a player to blossom after leaving Buffalo, it’s Ristolainen. He actually put up ok numbers as a defenseman on the worst defensive team of the last decade. But it’s still a massive overpay by the Flyers.
I’m hyped about this deal because the flyers know last year didn’t work so they changed it up and to be honest anything is better than the philly 2021 defense
Very charismatic review. You provide a lot of energy. But hope he has not hit his ceiling.
The past 2 seasons have been pretty sub par for Risto but the 2 seasons before that he had a CF of around 50%. He's played his whole career for a god awful Sabres org and was still a 40 point guy when healthy. Don't understand why people say he's "awful". And def worth more than a 2nd rounder and B prospect as she says
i think the sabers fans want skinner gone most
Sad to see risto go. He was the only one who showed any compete at all on the team and I loved seeing him go at it with Ovi.
Now we don’t have a single player who knows how to throw a hit.
he is gonna win norris with flyers
-163 in his Sabres area. nice
Don't worry Mel, we'll take good care of him, and make sure he gets plenty of rings!!!!
I'm not a Buffalo fan, but I like your enthusiasm talking hockey. We'll take care of Sam down here in FLA.
Not sure why u that happy? Sure u gain some cap. Lets be real here, HE PLAYED FOR BUFFALO!!! Obviuosly his nimbers stink, cause hes surrounded by garbage. Plus he puts up points and 2nd in NHL in hits. I GUARANTEE his numbers will go up. Plus u got Hagg which is a horrible dman. Hit his ceiling cause your team sucks(sorry). Plus Buffalo threw him into every single roll possible right away. Now he wont have that pressure.
robert hägg is my emotional support swede. like, he sucks but he’s great.
The way the market is and boone knows this better than flecher cause the gost offer we gave up way to much way way to much I don't understand this .I think hagg was a must cause the cap
Buffalo is just a dumpster fire. Gretzky would suck on that team right now.
LOL THIS WONT AGE WELL. RISTO WILL POP OFF WITH LESS RESPONSIBILITY. CAN REALLY PLAY HIS GAME.
How can a buffalo fan even smile
the Flyers should've just kept Ghost and not lost a bunch of picks. Ellis is a massive addition for them, but the difference between Risto and Ghost is not even close to 13th overall, two 2nds, and a 7th. Hagg has no value but it's still awful asset management by Philly and a huge return for Buffalo for sure.
Buffalo is utter trash the only good thing is jack and rasmus dalhin and oh wait you guys pissed off jack because you can 😂😂
Thought the price was steep but this draft class isn’t good at all!
Philly what are you doing getting rid of an ahl dman which in my opinion is a steal Robert Hagg for a 1st and 2nd for Risto that’s a steal
Enjoy our ahl trash
that picture of Ristolainen, He looks like a band member for a late 90s early 00s nu metal band
No shit he never got better, history shows that Sabres organisation is junk…
Are You Done with Your RISTOLAINEN # JERSEY ? What Size IS IT ? Are You selling IT ? Just let US – know The SIZE !
I truly believe Ristolainen will look great in Philadelphia. Flyers d core looks great and deep. Ristolainen on third pairing, no special teams, no pressure. He seemed to be so happy to leave Buffalo, most people are shocked when traded, he just seemed relieved. Do you remember when Christian Ehrhoff signed a 40M contract with Buffalo and went from top 5 offensive d man to a complete failure? Also what’s pretty sad is even if Buffalo have 10 first round picks, they gonna screw it, I wouldn’t trust those talent scouts too much.
Rasmus is even more excited to leave Buffalo.
Flyers have been known for terrible trades throughout their history. Except for Ron Hextall years, the Flyers love to overpay. That being said, the Flyers have one of the best coaching staffs in the league. If they can't improve Ristolainen, no one can.
Ristolainen may not have been a good ace defenseman on a really bad team, but Philly isn’t going to ask for 22+ minutes a night from him. He’s gonna be a second line D-man and will probably be on the PP (along with Yandle). If he is as bad as you say he is I have to ask why he was deployed so often. Time will tell but the on-ice burden in Philly won’t be nearly as bad.
Flyers will gladly take a big right handed dman who can get 200 hits, 150 blocks, 40 assists, can play on PP and PK. He won't be a #1 in Philly so he'll have good matchups too.
They're desperate giving up 1 and 2nd. They have to have results next season, or else. Your rant could be finished in 1 minute max.
Breaking News: Your team sucks
Very refreshing indeed! Flyers are much better with him! How’s your team doing?
Jeez a Buffalo fan happy to see risto go , man is playing great in philly 😂 , Robert haag is ASS enjoy him , we needed a guy like this and it’s working out great
Risto is awesome! Thanks!
