Dom is an analytics guy, and I dont know much about Sean's background.
Either way, it's hard to find anyone with any hockey knowledge who thinks this wasn't a disaster, esp after the flyers overpay risto in terms of dollars and term and regret it for 5+yrs.
most of the people i see thinking this is a bad trade are big stat guys because his stats in buffalo are terrible
and will the flyers overpay him? the guy might be happy to be on a playoff team he might want to stick around and do so for a fair amount and hes 26 even if they give him term hes not 30+
but most of the stat guys are like look at his stats and that hell the same guys are saying ghost had better stats then him terrible trade rah rah
but you dont think risto on the flyers on a 2nd pair vs the sabers 1st pair isnt going to get better looking stats? how do you think ghosts stats would be on the sabers 1st pair?
im not that worried if that many gms were offering 1st rounder+ for him clearly they think hes a pretty good player and id say multiple nhl gms and their staff know better then some random athletic stats guys
