‘In some ways, the trade to Philadelphia has worked out for Ristolainen. Individually, underlying metrics show that Ristolainen has made a greater impact offensively at 5-on-5, and he’s been a workhorse for the Flyers, averaging 21:09 of ice time in 36 games. It’s possible, if not likely, Ristolainen will be traded again before the March 21 deadline, which would give the pending unrestricted free agent another chance at trying to experience the Stanley Cup Playoffs for the first time in his nine-year career.’
