Detroit maybe?Karalsson apparently on the table. Who's actually going to take that contract on?

The idealist in me is praying for Ehlers, but the realist in me is thinking Pionk.

Ironically that's what I was thinking when I looked at who might have 2025 1sts left.
I have to wonder which of those teams would have a need and be willing to move it for him?
That's where I would see Laughton starting. On the wing with Lowry. Both Nino and Apples are struggling to produce right now, and it's not an issue because the Jets are winning. But it's a big reason why the Jets are finding themselves in tight 1 goal games all of a sudden. Games that won't have 3 on 3 come playoff time.It would all be about depth. What happens if Lowry or Namestnikov get hurt? Run Kupari and Gus with there all of 12 points combined this year?
It’s nice to imagine aiming higher. Which of Yager or Salomonsson are you trading? You might need both for a top 6 center with term.
But, Schief and KC are also not scoring. How many goals do you need? These tight games are just keeping players contracts down till we need them.That's where I would see Laughton starting.

Penalty killing, he could start on the top unit, bump Iafallo down to the 2nd with whomever.
That seems to apparently be the waiting game.
I heard the clip today where Seravalli reiterated once again what he said last week that they are waiting it out for a 1st on Laughton.
He said he believes the Jets offered up to a 2nd but were declined.
Frank also stated that the Flyers are looking for a 1st "+" in a deal for Risto.
Apples has 1 goal, 1 assist in his last 14, but we'll say 10 since he came back from injury. -1 in 10 games.But, Schief and KC are also not scoring. How many goals do you need? These tight games are just keeping players contracts down till we need them.
Well he's not worth a 1st imo. We will see of any one deals one for him.
He gave a 1st for Monahan last season.Chevy not stupid enough to five a first for Laughton. Good player to have for depth but we don't even really need him. Like mentioned above I wouldn't mind him on the wing instead of Appleton. Nino may not be producing right now but you atleast know he can put up some points.
Myself I don't mind the idea of changing the checking line to Laughton-Lowry-Ehlers, two good defensive players, one scorer.Chevy not stupid enough to five a first for Laughton.

One of the two have put up more than 40 points in more than one season, I'll let you guess which one.He gave a 1st for Monahan last season.![]()
I'm not saying Laughton is good. I'm saying that if a GM is willing to pay a 1st for Monahan after his first decent 50 games in years, I wouldn't bet on his also paying a 1st for Laughton.One of the two have put up more than 40 points in more than one season, I'll let you guess which one.
Ehlers is a lot of things to a lot of people, but I don't think I've ever heard him being suggested as a checking line winger before!Myself I don't mind the idea of changing the checking line to Laughton-Lowry-Ehlers, two good defensive players, one scorer.
Put Nino with Namestnikov and Perfetti, adds size to that line, which might be needed in the playoffs.
Iafallo is a lock for the 4th line, but you'd have a competition with Appleton and Barron for the final winger spot. Kupari stays at a 4th line level with more center depth.
The Iafallo-Lowry-Ehlers line was a checking line, that scored. Matching up against Mackinnon and Makar.Ehlers is a lot of things to a lot of people, but I don't think I've ever heard him being suggested as a checking line winger before!
I get that I'm reading the trade proposal thread here, but given that we're first in the league and riding a 10 game winning streak, I'm not keen on messing with the chemistry too much...especially in the top 6 or top 4 d.
Did the 2nd round pick or his agent leak this? Or did Briere leak this to make sure Chevy won't deal with him anytime soon? Not a chance that Chevy is the source.Apparently the Jets offered a 2nd for Laughton, but Philly wanted more? Saw on Reddit.
And since we’re looking to upgrade on Names, I don’t really see the point?Laughton also has one more year at 3M
He scores at the same rate as Names, FWIW
I really don't think we need any depth pieces we have more than enough both on offence and defense. Knocked one out of the park or take the day off and hold on to your picks and prospects.
Lowry, more than capable and better than some of the names being floated around hereIf Namestnikov goes down, who is your 2C?
