Chuck Fletcher will get a lot of phone calls until the trade deadline, on March 21st. We talked a lot about Claude Giroux, but Rasmus Ristolainen is another candidate who could interest multiple teams.
The Flyers gave a lot to acquire him. The fact that there's nothing going on regarding a possible extension with the Flyers (he's set to become an UFA this summer) makes him a target for other organisations.
But, what could the Flyers get if they were indeed trading him? According to Elliotte Friedman, from Sportsnet, teams are asking for 1st and a 3rd round pick for defensemen who'll become UFA this year. That's basically what the Columbus Blue Jackets got for David Savard, last year.
The only question is : Ristolainen has a pretty big cap hit ($5.4M), so if he's traded, it's probable that the Flyers will retain salary.
We'll see where it goes.
