Description
Charlie O'Connor joins the show to discuss Philadelphia's busy offseason, their pursuit of improving defensively, and the seemingly polar opposite evaluations they've made in acquiring Ryan Ellis and Rasmus Ristolainen. Topics include:
The Flyers goal suppression issues last year
How much of that was on defense vs. goaltending
The relatively small acquisition cost for Ryan Ellis
The stunning price they paid for Rasmus Ristolainen
What they saw in him, and what they can get out of him
The way the league views and values Ristolainen
The horrible underlying numbers throughout his career
Why the eye test shouldn't inspire any confidence
Having tools vs. being able to use them effectively
Environment, role, and results
