Laughton has looked pretty good so far in tonight's game against a terrible penguins lineup. Scored a goal, finishing checks, seems like average speed.
I don't have a problem with Schenn. I put his name out early in the season. Full NTC is asking for someone to choose Winnipeg. Color me less than optimistic there. Especially if Mc Crimmon asks him with some of the Blues core thereWhat's Schenn's skating like these days. He definitely used to have above average speed but I haven't really watched him this year.
Edit: According to NHL EDGE it's still well above average so we wouldn't lose speed with him at C.
As I stated previously, I like Laughton but the Jets have much bigger needs than he can fill. I would sooner see the Jets take whatever asset Laughton would return and apply it towards a true 2C.Laughton has looked pretty good so far in tonight's game against a terrible penguins lineup.

I'll go a step further and say they get Provorov too, and become our Wollerton. With the famous words...I don't have a problem with Schenn. I put his name out early in the season.

Excellent postI've been scrolling through the lineups of teams that are clear sellers, and it's slim pickings, honestly. I'm starting to see why Chevy would be kicking tires on Laughton. The whole east is still technically alive and has a shot, so there goes most of our selling market.
Realistically, our trade currency is our 2025 1st & 3rd, plus Rashevsky. I still don't see a situation where Chevy sells any prospect that hasn't requested a trade.
Mittelstadt is likely to be traded, but Colorado won't trade him to the Jets for futures. That serves them no purpose whatsoever.
Here's the list of centers that we may want to look at, given the circumstances:
Gus Nyquist [NSH] - 3.185M with an expiring contract. Not a center apparently, but worth a try since he put up 75 pts last year
Pavel Zacha [BOS] - 4.75M with two years left. Good stats and fits the role, Boston would likely want to keep him for a rebuild process
Morgan Geekie [BOS] - 2M, RFA. Same as above.
Trevor Zegras [ANA] - 5.75M with another year left. The cost would be steep, although Anaheim would be willing to move on from him. Worth a try?
Yanni Gourde [SEA] - 5.17M with an expiring contract. He doesn't put up a lot of points but he has good numbers on a poor Seattle team. Good depth with championship pedigree if there is nobody else, would Seattle sell?
Ryan Donato [CHI] - 2M with an expiring contract. Putting up good points [36 in 52 games] on a terrrrrrible Chicago team.
Brock Nelson, obviously
Defense
Ivan Provorov [CBJ] - pure rental LD, if Columbus can't re-sign him.
Henri Jokiharju [BUF] - pure rental RD
Brian Dumoulin [ANA] - pure rental LD
Dante Fabbro [CBJ] - pure rental RD
Ryan Lindgren [NYR] - pure rental LD
Matt Grzelcyk [PIT] - pure rental LD, even though Morrissey once took a suspension injuring him

Sorry, but this betrays a real lack of understanding of global health and development. I work in this field and in countries supported by USAID. The demolition of USAID and PEPFAR is going to have devastating consequences for many of the poorest women and children around the world. The US has over many decades taken way more out of these countries in resources and health personnel etc. than they have put back through aid. I don't want this forum to be anything but hockey, but I can't let this uninformed view go unchallenged.Those days are over. USAID is finished ... no more handouts ... no more BS..
No, from some posters on here and maybe the public at largeFrom Chevy?

I guess you never heard the hundreds of million taxpayers dollars wasted pushing crazy ideas like men completing in women’s sports. Last count it was almost a billion dollars they found wasted in less than a week.What the f***
