It all comes full circle
Not that it matters for the potential trade… but I wonder how Risto would feel about that.

I hope so for his sake. Get him out of this dumpster fire and get him into the playoffs.
Risto for Konsta straight up. I don’t give a fuck about picks if Danny can do that. That could be the C we are waiting for if he pans out.
Forget the entire Parayko package, getting Mrtka for Risto 1-for-1 would be a *huge* win for us…

The great thing here is the potential leverage the flyers *should* have. All of Buffalo, Detroit, Montreal, and Boston could really use a Risto in the top four heading into the playoffs. If Parayko doesn’t want to head east, Risto is the one available piece in play. Plus, with another year on his deal, they don’t have to trade him. The return should be exceptionally good.
Kulich (assuming blood clots issue is manageable) OR Helenius to solve the projectable 2C problem AND Strbak to add another top 4 projectable defender to the mix.
Lastly, I would be thrilled for Risto to go into the playoffs as a Sabre. They look like a real juggernaut and are shaping up as a Cup favorite.
If this happens, we all gotta give Chuck Fletcher his props for playing 4d chess across time and space.
Risto for Helenius and Mrtka, please Danny
