Looking at their roster, there's a lot of NHL-level depth, but the top-end isn't as strong, with center in particular lacking that high end. If I'm them and 12 is on the table, it's combined with one or two guys to get an upgrade to hopefully get Michkov scoring right off the bat.
Which teams have a top-6 center they'd move for 12 and a player like Laughton?

Minnesota, possibly. Rossi, if they like who's available at 12. Laughton would probably be of interest to Guerin.

I understand center being suspect to them but aren't they set at LD? They have Sanheim, York, and Seeler long term

Sanheim plays on the right with York.

Sanheim plays RD with York
Then you have Drysdale on RD too.
Then Seeler for your top 4 LHD ?
Nahhh you need much better, even better then York tbh
They're not hurting too the point of trading 12 for a LD. Sanheim can play both sides, so can York. Center is the spot of need

He did this season but that could absolutely change. Next year Philly is going to have Drysdale and Risto back. They also have Zamula, Attard, Bonk, and Grans. We know for a fact Risto played the best hockey of his career partnered with Sanheim in 22/23, they could easily partner them again then play York with Drysdale

Rather put Matheson on the table. Trading Ghule for a 2024 prospect only make us go backward in the rebuild.

Then a Center is the target ...
Nahhh is does not.
LHD are stacked with the Habs.

No Prior Knowledge of "Flyers"
The stupidest possible thing they could do is trade the 12th pick without moving up. Even they know that. Word has been that they are trying to move up, particularly with the rumored Ottawa trade (where they'd likely be targeting #7). And they've almost certainly known Michkov has been good to go for some time now.

The way I see it, our core is Slaf (20 years old) /Suzuki (24 years old) /Caufield(23 years old).
We need LD in that 20-25 age group to compete ideally between 2025-2033.
Kaiden Ghule fits the profile a lot more than Matheson.
If the goal is to get Bill Guerin to laugh hysterically, you may succeed with that terrible offer.

I sure as hell hope not. I wouldn’t pay the late first and then another pick to move up 5 spots if I was in charge.

Michkov and a mediocre return for #12 isn't going to make this team better than the Rangers, Hurricanes, or a healthy Devils team with an actual goalie. The only noise this roster can expect to make next season is the Price is Right fail trombone.
We should be adding first rounders, not subtracting them. Two to three years from now, when those players are ready to join the roster, after we've dumped a bunch of garbage contracts and made a proper FA splash, then we can start making real noise.

Risto won’t play 20+ mins a game. Or shouldn’t.
It should be York and Sanheim as the top pairing.
