Risto has already not benefitted from a change. Hes not a good player.

Actually Risto has been the flyers best d this year. Once he got healthy he has been pretty good.

Also Fletcher is not liquidating while in the playoff hunt which as of now - they are. He prob needs to make the playoffs to keep his job.

There is plenty of time for them to fall out of the race and then make deals. Besides they have not lost in 7 games…

After a really rough start, he's been...above adequate. Not worth the price of acquiring him or justifying his cap hit, but he's been decent. And yeah, not a game changer. On a contending team, he'd make a decent 4/5 with a cap hit of about $2M less.

Really? Martin Jones is the key to the Flyers? Did you just stick a bunch of names on a wall, put on a blindfold, and throw darts at the names until you hit one?

I would suggest watching in person once in a while. Amazing how great the sport is in person.

Hockey is much better through your own eyes than through the distorted lenses of analytics.

No clue. Goaltending has been good in Philly including Jones. If they were to move him it’s at the deadline when they are out of it.

Backup goalie is so far down the list in Philly it’s actually kinda remarkable to hear his name mentioned..

They might get to round two this year. That’ll be about it.

Fear not. Ek says Tocchet will fix all of Philly’s woes.

PHI: Mrazek, Holl, 2022 2nd round pick
TOR: Jones, Ristolainen (salary retained), 2022 4th round pick

- Turnitaround


So the Flyers trade a first, second, and Hagg for Risto a few months ago, and you expect them to include him plus other assets for literally all the garbage the Leafs are trying to get rid of? Riiight. That Mrazek contract is an anchor, and any GM worth their salt will make the Leafs pay dearly to take it off their hands.

Compared to Justin Holl he's probably in the Nik Lidstrom realm.

Lol, he hasn't even been the best d on his own pairing. Get real.

(although he's probably been 2nd-best on the team by default)
