In the last week, it's been reported that the Flyers offered a 6 year and $36M contract to Rasmus Ristolainen and that the defenseman declined it.
However, Elliotte Friedman, from Sportsnet, made an update on the situation and it appears that the initial report wasn't true.
According to the insider, Flyers did offer Ristolainen a contract, but the average was around $4 to $4.75M, not $6.35M. Friedman believes that the latter number was the counter-offer or a an amount that Ristolainen would only take.
It makes sense. It's pretty hard to believe that the right hand defenseman turned down a $36M contract...
