Ramus Ristolainen's Contract is horrendous compared to Dumba's
The departure of Chuck Fletcher from the Philadelphia Flyers has left the team in a difficult situation that still affects them today.
One of the contracts that remain is for defenseman Rasmus Ristolainen, which was a result of a deal made by Fletcher.
Defensemen with a higher cap hit than Matt Dumba next season:
Erik Gudbranson
Radko Gudas
Nick Leddy
Josh Manson
Mike Matheson
Nikita Zaitsev
Rasmus Ristolainen
Tyler Myers
Ryan Graves
Ben Chiarot
A right-shot defenseman who can play in top 4 minutes for 3.9 million
Not bad.

The team will be paying $5.1 million for the next three years to keep Ristolainen on their roster.
However, they could have signed a better defenseman for a lower price, such as Matt Dumba, who could have been acquired for $3.9 million.
Dumba is a reliable right-shot defenseman who has played a significant role on the blue line for the Minnesota team. This is just another missed opportunity for the Flyers.
