Goodbye my sweet man. Some great memories, and hope he can win something with a franchise that isn’t run by fools.

What a trash heap return for sending someone to a division member.

One of the few bright spots in the bottom-6 over the last decade. Goodbye Raff

Washington didnt have anything left to give, they gave it all to Detroit

He was a solid player for a long time but we need room and he's replaceable.
If only Fletcher had realized that Laughton was in the same boat, this could have been a decent day.

Good for both teams. I’m sure Lavy had a say in this trade.

I always liked Raffl, but they have kids coming who need to play.
Raffl has been a good foot soldier. Best of luck going fwd.

Not sure why, GM is aware of the guy playing here for so long. They added a depth piece
One of my favorites over the last decade or whatever. He did #12 proud.

The only move i'll give Fletcher a passing grade on today. Thought a 6th would be the max for a 4th liner in his 30's with 8 points.
He had a good run here for an Undrafted Austrian, but it was time to move on.

I’ll miss Raffl.
Not the most skilled but a hard worker. Versatile. Played where he needed to be.
I’ll remember the GWG against the Oilers a few years back. Classic Raffl power move.

He was a good soldier for us and always gave his best. Best wishes to him in Washington.

Nope not today.
If our idea of selling is Raffl for a 5th and Gustafsson for a 7th then we should be ready to rebuild by the time Giroux is in a nursing home filling up a colostomy bag.

Always liked raffl just didn’t like his useage much. Ie: 1st LW with G and Voracek a few years back. Good bottom 6 guy and PK. Best of luck RAFFLCOPTER

He was one of the rare positive surprises and was versatile but it’s time for the team to move on with a lot of forward prospects

Also by all accounts really one of the bigger personalities in that room.
Would love to see him win, and with Laviolette too.
Really though, another piece that would likely have brought back more value if he was dealt years ago, and they had the brains to go full scorched earth.

IIRC Lavi was fired three games into Raffl's rookie year (which he started with the Phantoms) so I don't think he ever even coached him aside from preseason.
