You really can’t make this stuff up. Crest and culture are the way to build a winner. This is the most out of touch franchise in all of sports. Obe that includes the jets, browns, raiders, pirates, and others
6-foot-5, 225 – enough said. did “jonesy” make this trade?
my how hunter mac has fallen. poor “jonesy”
all of whom are much better player than your beloved risto.
being the legit top 4 dman you believe he is; would the flyers be smart to sell high and trade him if he comes back healthy.
Unless they slump radically, the Flyers won’t be sellers this deadline so it’s moot. Would you include Risto in a package for Quinn Hughes?
Do you see the flyers winning the cup this season or next?
No as the flyers need playoff risto. What a silly ass question.
not sure what being a “top 5” finn dman has to do with the nhl but ok. how many finn dman in the nhl as regulars?
If you’re not sure, maybe posting here is not a good idea. How many, not that many but these guys, like Lindell, Heiskanen, Mikola are great players for playoff teams.

compared to who? define “really” good.
being a top 4 guy on the flyers doesn’t equate to being a legit top 4 guy in the nhl.
cant wait to see playoff beast risto. he was built for the playoffs.
Compared to the other Finnish defensemen who weren’t selected ahead of him for 4 Nations. No more than 5 Finns were considered better for the position than Risto. The Flyers are 11th in GAA without him and he’s still Top 4 here, above both Andrae and Seeler. Feel free to name the teams he’s not a Top 4D on. There are a few. I do note Risto made a nice pairing with Andrae last year. He’ll fit very well in Taco’s system.

top 5 finn dman are hard to find. hope they re-sign him next summer. which would not shock anyone. he fits in with tk ex selke and sanheim.
he is not a top 4 on any legit cup contending team. clearly you think otherwise. Then he should have a lot of value. if this was true, a smart management teams would sell high don’t you think? Imagine having risto for 2 playoff runs. with his playoff experience that should have a lot of value. right below quinn hughes.
go flyers brick by brick.
always about building “culture” with this sad sack franchise. so many flyer fans eat this shit up. wasn’t the culture built with the last coach? they said it was no?
this organization will never ever get it.
you were off for 3 days and you have tired guys? tocchet is a joke of a coach. his past record is all the proof needed. imagine making a below .500 coach the 3rd highest paid.
maybe if you had a competent 4th line to begin with you can lessen the minutes of the top 9. nah why do that. need that culture ND and GH bring.
I guess the hope is when Risto returns he can help solidify the 3rd pair, which is a black hole. Juulsen and Zamula just get exposed way too much. If any of the top 4 miss significant time, the team is in deep trouble. York needs to get back sooner then later. I would hope Briere would take this winger surplus depth to address the blueline. I would assume he will try for Hughes first and is waiting to see how that plays out. I would hope Rutherford resolves the Hughes situation before the Olympic break, bot who knows.
Risto is really good. He’s a Top 4 guy here and for a lot of other teams too. He’ll make a difference. Juulsen had a rough 1st period. An errant pass led to the first goal and his penalty led to the 2nd. I’d be shocked if Hughes gets dealt anywhere this season.

the scary part is what risto like dman will he acquire? big is better.
will risto ever see the playoffs? I think he has the longest streak of no playoff games.
– No reason not to play vladar.
– No reason to have the season pointless 4th line getting a shift with under 5 left when trailing. Or anytime really.
– No reason once again to have your “franchise” player getting the least amount of minutes of top 9 players.
– No reason to come out slow with 3 shots in the 1st. Avs playing 3rd game in 4 nights, prior one went to OT.
I am more amazed those players and tuch haven’t asked out. maybe they are comfortable and have accepted losing like some flyers players.
Those players have no one to blame but themselves right now, there’s a bunch of talent there but they play an uninspired game. They need to look in the mirror and pull themselves into the fight, they’re soft AF.
they have had terrible coaching and development. Think maybe just maybe that plays a part? Despite that individually they put up good numbers and play. Guess you wouldn’t want either one on the culture driven flyers.
add in terrible management and ownership.
