Strange when you're comparing the trades though from a team perspective.

They definitely miss risto with the dropoff of "#1 " defenseman and the amount of goals they've been given up. Dahlin, his replacement, is a joke.....

They have made up the scoring that the former " #1rw" sam brought to this team. Seems like olo, skimmer, and the rest of the team have filled in admirably.

I'm glad both our gone.
Both trades were addition by subtraction.
Hagg adds to the addition part as well ☝️

You can say this all you want but the opposite is true.

Risto is failing in Philly as a #3 D man. -8 in his last 3 games. On pace for less than 20 points.

He’s been just as terrible there as he was here

We’re better with Dahlin and Pysyk and it’s not even remotely close

I know you keep forcing the VO is bad mantra.

Odd. Really.

He keeps proving you wrong.
1 dimensional player
Pp specialist
Not a 5 x5 guy

Have you gone to any games in person? Serious question?

- Boss34


You live in a strange world. I just called his extension an important decision and said I'd be angry if they botched it like Sam. No need to launch into your VO memes.

It wasn't going well when he wasn't playing big boy minutes.
- Buff36


Very true 36, it hasnt been " going well" for a decade.

55 was terrible at defense at times. Many times.
It's just not easy to play defense in most sports.....
Offensive players have an advantage....

He did bring toughness, and is a top "hitter" in the league.
Risto also gave %100 , dahlin looks like he's playing beer league hockey at times

The weird thing is doesn't look like they're giving him much PP time which is silly because that's the thing that Risto is really good at. I don't think any team knows how to use risto properly

Wasn't even talking about Risto but since you want to go there. I watched the Philly game last and Risto still doing Risto stuff, he's bad in his own end, horrible pinch at the blue line that led to a goal.

We all live in the same strange world. Implying that you do not want to have KA, make the same "mistake" as he did with sam.... hardly acknowledges goaloffson's growth as a player.

VO memes 🤔

It's so they can sign Doogie, and have a backup in Rochester.

He doesnt even realize how bad hes making Risto Look.

Risto always gave 100% and was still F***** terrible

Dahlin only giving 50% is still light years ahead of Risto.

They have better PP players in Provorov, Sanheim and Yandle

I honestly thought Sanheim would drag him to acceptable results but not even he can do that

No doubt about it, risto's having a tough stretch.

Strange how it was reported multiple teams offering first round picks for him....

I just don't know why a team would acquire risto and not use him on the PP. It's like buying a miata to go offroading
