The 13th overall pick is worth 5.3 wins over the next seven seasons.

Ristolainen is projected to be worth -0.1 wins over that same stretch of time. An incredible win for Buffalo.

I am going to say it.

I don't care if we are moving picks to make the team better.

Is my team better today then yesterday? The goal of sport is to try and win. Not see who can collect the most draft picks.

it's also a 2023 second round pick.

Fletcher the bum we all knew he was from a decade in Minnesota.

This is an actual metric people use?

Love me some Ristolainen. I’m assuming there is an extension in place. If so good job Chuck. He’s a solid 2nd pair guy. That’s what you hope to develop picking mid 1st anyway.

And it could be one year of Ristolainen. It's mind boggling how bad Fletcher is.

Dreger :

Clubs with interest offering 1st round picks were informed earlier their pick wasn’t high enough. Picks in the top 20, hence Philly was the right fit.

Fletcher is simply doing what his corporate overlords have commanded him to do. They wouldn't have hired Fletcher if he wasn't about making moves for the sake of making moves. It would've been some other schmo.

A brutal two days for the Flyers.

Fletcher drives a hard bargain doesn't he? What's his grade so far? A-?

Risto has some great hair and looks like he could have had a role in Vikings...
Yah I know Denmark/Norway not Finland...but he coulda been one of Ragnars warriors...

I know Bill didn’t seem to be a fan, but he played really, really good against us last year. He adds a physical presence to the back end.

Making moves is one thing but adding a 1st rounder is absolutely a stupid use of assets.
Risto in my opinion isn’t worth that price.

He’ll definitely protect Sanhiem from Gerbe at least.
