If the GMKA was able to flip Risto for that haul....

Then I MAY be OK with the haul he gets for Eichel if it is a comparable over payment.


Heck, then I'd think about keeping Sam and sign him for 2C.

Problem is, whose the 1C? By default it would have to be Sam, no?

Good opinion.

Phili just got a 240 point 26 year old defenseman

For robert hagg, a 1st in a bad draft and a 2nd who may play in the nhl in 2025.

They got better for next year. The 1st wouldnt be playing and risto is much better than cap dump hagg.

Can you point me to the analytics that support this?
Yes, he scores gimmie points on one PP, great!
At the end of the year, he will be a negative player and his advanced stats will look like poop

8 years x 9.5 putting him at 34 when the deal ends.

Risky for sure.

Should we offer them Eichel for Kane and Debrincat? I mean, seems like they like to do dumb things...

Eichel trade is going to break the internet.

Trouble with HBuzz and HFBoards over the Jones trade.

Please, please, please take this with a grain of salt

You ready?


According to my buddy, who’s pretty connected - Risto sucks

correction Jones will be 35 in the last year of his contract. It doesn't start until next year.

Teams will never learn.

So, the returns for Ristolainen and Jones have probably made the ask for Eichel much less crazy.

Gotta hand it to Irish calling that fake Reinhart trade to Vancouver that most certainly isn’t happening now.

Anyone else got any fake trades?
