Rasmus Ristolainen Traded To Philadelphia
3 years agoThe Philadelphia Flyers acquired defenseman Rasmus Ristolainen in exchange for blueliner Robert Hagg, a 2021 first-round pick (14th overall) and a 2023 second-round pick on Friday. Ristolainen spent the past eight seasons in Buffalo and is coming off a down campaign in which he collected just 18 points (four goals, 14 assists), a minus-18 rating, 73 shots and 193 hits in 49 contests. The hulking blueliner should immediately jump into the Flyers top-four defenseman group in 2021-2022 and a change of scenery could kickstart a bounce-back season for the 26-year-old. Keep tabs on Ristolainen as a potential mid-to-late round selection in upcoming fantasy drafts.
