you dont pay a 10 year vet 5 million because he is a work in progress
Zero f***ing points. With his useage I swear to god above I would have more points than him.

Risto thinks: Benny get a lifeZero f***ing points. With his useage I swear to god above I would have more points than him.
It’s definitely dumb to have Risto out there, even if he was the only dmanCould not bring yourself to say having 2 dmen, 1 F in OT is dumb, I see.
I’m hopeful Rist0 will last until 2023. It’s been 22 games without a point, and there’s only eight left this year.Zero f***ing points. With his useage I swear to god above I would have more points than him.
4 players with Flyers ties, three of them currently in the organization! And that season started more than 8 years agoCheck out the roster of the team with the most blatant tank job in recent memory.

I think this is the second time you have mentioned Bennett, when you mean Reinhart.Ristolainen was pumped up in Buffalo. They played him a boatload of all situations minutes with guys like Eichel, Bennett, etc. which inflated his surface production. His surface production was never a true representation of his offensive abilities. The Flyers paid high for that though & they’re now seeing that’s not the case with dialed back usage that’s less advantageous to score in.
play him on the RIGHT side, make him learn it, LEAVE him there maybe he'll accept the challenge and improveI ignore the first ten games, it's obvious the whole team had no idea what they were doing - the dramatic upsurge after that point suggests they finally got on the same page.
Risto has been solid since he returned to the lineup, not great, never going to live up to his contract or the assets traded for him, but he's playing better, using his stick more, not getting out of position as much and so on. He's a work in progress, in terms of just playing basic fundamental defense and not being a total liability. I'll be happy if he can continue to play like he has, he'll make his share of mistakes but he's not a defensive black hole like Provorov - TDA.
Provorov - ???
Sanheim - York
Seeler - Risto
I don't know what you do about Provorov - TDA. They've been a disaster so far. Nor is Provorov - Risto an answer.
