@k_lyons55 @ADiMarco25 @DailyFaceoff Dougie Hamilton cheap contract??? He makes 9mil and he's worse than Risto and he has 0 defensive ability all offense I'd hate that so much

@eLiaminators @ADiMarco25 @DailyFaceoff IMO it will end up being Hamilton Just because of the the cheap contract

Could today's trade be the first of many for PHI? They need a center and the Senators have a plethora of ones PHI likes. I tackle that, along with latest I've heard re. Tippett and Zegras, in my latest for @DailyFaceoff. dailyfaceoff.com/news/philadelp…

@k_lyons55 @ADiMarco25 @DailyFaceoff They have Matinpalo for reassurance though I don't think it's that crazy I'm not against them getting someone but it has to be for the right price they can't give up close to what Philly wants for Risto it's just too much. There's options I'm sure but the prices seem crazy rn

@eLiaminators @ADiMarco25 @DailyFaceoff Kinda important if you want to win going into a season with zub/spence/yak is crazy imo . Not saying it has to be risto but will be that type that plays with chabby

@k_lyons55 @ADiMarco25 @DailyFaceoff why do you care about pts we already have Sanderson, Chabot, Spence, and Yak in this scenario all we need is defense which is Kleven and Zub why does Risto's offense have any relevance of anything we need another shut down dman pts aren't everything and Zub and Spence are better

@eLiaminators @ADiMarco25 @DailyFaceoff they will bank on a guy that’s done it with 800 games over one that’s done it for 25 if yak is on the team the will upgrade the top 4 . Saying risto is useless when he just played 25 min a night in the playoffs putting up .5 ppg just shows you haven’t watched him since buffalo

When you take the viewership numbers and apply them as percentages of the population for #CanMNT and #USMNT, it is quite intriguing how dedicated Canadians are to soccer. 8.6 million watched 🇨🇦v🇧🇦 (20.77% of Canada) 18.037 million watched 🇺🇸v🇵🇾(5.3% of USA)

@k_lyons55 @ADiMarco25 @DailyFaceoff I'd bank on the young dman with great analytics over the overrated Risto, that's just me Risto has never showed much at the NHL level other than he's a big body. Offensively he's bad and defensively he's ok you said PP QB Sens already have 4 so Risto is useless and a bad 1 anyway

@eLiaminators @ADiMarco25 @DailyFaceoff Did great in the 25 games in that role still can’t bank on him doing it next year because if he reverts back you don’t have a plan B

@k_lyons55 @ADiMarco25 @DailyFaceoff also Risto is a bottom pair guy why do you want him in the top 4 I thought you wanted to improve the blue line not make it worst

@k_lyons55 @ADiMarco25 @DailyFaceoff Spence can be a top 4 dman he got us into the playoffs as the number 1 lol. idk what you expect but they had the d best defense in the league last season so idk they are doing something right

@MikeBartner If that's the mindset then sure but I guarantee Nashville thinks this moves the needle towards contending when it really doesn't

Like this for both parties. For Colorado Colton was a very replaceable piece making a sizable $4M next season. For Nashville he only has a year left and in an elevated role will probably fetch you a similar or better return at next years deadline if you (likely) stink.

@k_lyons55 @ADiMarco25 @DailyFaceoff What fantasy world do you live in then? Every team has a bottom pair dman elevated into their top 4 at some point otherwise you need 7 top 4 dmen on a team. Also is Risto a top 4 dman in your mind? Spence is way better and he's on our 3rd pair so where does Risto play?

@eLiaminators @ADiMarco25 @DailyFaceoff Because you need a pp quarter back sane reason tak had such a impact when he got in . You can’t have bottom pair d playing top 4 min like last year

@FlyersSkins302 @ADiMarco25 @DailyFaceoff Ottawa doesn't need a dman it's not a problem for the Sens so if he's cheap sure get him and he can be an in and out of the lineup guy otherwise why go after him lol it's pretty basic

@eLiaminators @ADiMarco25 @DailyFaceoff And that's why you watch trades go down from the comfort of your couch.

@k_lyons55 @ADiMarco25 @DailyFaceoff Ya and why do we need a dman? Defense was not the issue so why give up a bunch for a mid dman if he's cheap sure but makes no sense for Ottawa

@eLiaminators @ADiMarco25 @DailyFaceoff Did u watch the playoffs?

@FacelessHockey @MikeBartner He's not even the starter for the Marlies so do you?

@eLiaminators @MikeBartner I think I know Toronto more than you clown. Hildeby is 100% playing up next season

I guess Toronto just really believes in Hilldeby? Because Woll to Ersson is quite a talent gap. Andrae maybe there's something there. For Philly they form a damn good tandem that's cheap for next season ($7M) and now they have more leverage with Vladar in contract talks.

@OhNyquist They get Brannstrom 2.0 he will be in Europe in a year Benoit is way more serviceable even if the upside isn't there he's an ok bottom pair and fine 7th dman Andrae won't play most nights

Flyers get better goalie, Leafs get better defensemen + save cap. Pretty fair trade IMO

@FacelessHockey @MikeBartner Hildeby isn't playing in the NHL lol at least learn your own organization depth chart before talking

@eLiaminators @MikeBartner I mean it’s a good trade, Ersson can no go on waivers or down to the Marlies and Hildeby goes up. Not that hard a trade to concept

@brennan1400 @NathanGraviteh ya and you have up them for nothing so good job I guess if that was the goal. Woll was the future starter a year ago lol giving up on him fast

@eLiaminators @NathanGraviteh Benoit sucks and woll was expendable when you have 2 goalies in the ahl who are ready for the nhl. Ersson is an rfa and will not be qualified

This is a strange one. Generally like this for Philly. *If* Woll is healthy, it's a big upgrade over Ersson, who's been bad in almost every season he's played. But I don't hate the Emil Andrae gamble. Liked him this year. And he's someone that can actually move the puck!!

@senstalk_ I'd give up at most a 4th rounder for Risto and he can be our 7th dman he's not better than any of the 7 guys we had last season

Hmm. We know the #Sens have been interested in Rasmus Ristolainen (and other RD) for some time now. It’ll be something to watch as we approach the draft. Personally, I wouldn’t pull the trigger on Ristolainen - especially for that asking price. “According to team sources, the Flyers have interest in Senators’ centers Shane Pinto, Dylan Cozens and Ridly Greig – in that order. DFO was told that the Flyers and Senators have had on and off trade talks going back to the 2024-25 season; per sources, the Senators were heavily pushing Josh Norris on the Flyers, sources told DFO.”

@SensCentral So Chayka is still in fact a shit GM that's good

Trade SZN is officially open.
