Rasmus Ristolainen feels like he’s from a very specific time period during the recent history of the Philadelphia Flyers. Those few months during the summer where we all had expectations and dreams of what will happen under Chuck Fletcher, to then only be left with some mismatched feelings after all the transactions were done and the team was made whole.
Some transactions were good and filled us with hope (Ryan Ellis has since disappeared and will most likely never play hockey again), and some filled us with just weird and awkward confusion (giving up so much for Ristolainen).
