Some team will def pay a premium for Laughton. And I think they will quickly be upset about it.
I think chychrun is worth more than a late first personally. I think there’s a better deal to be had than Laughton.
The thing is no one is trading a bad contract on a. Skater for a bad contract on a bad goalie. Having a big contract attached to an atrocious goalie is the absolute worst thing that can happen to you cap wise
We just saw a very similar situation with Cal Petersen being used as a moving part in a trade.
I'm not talking about someone actually wanting Korpisalo for hockey purposes. I am talking about him being used as a proxy for retention. I wasn't clear enough I suppose.
Something like we want a player who has a 10M AAV for the next 3 seasons, but he is really worth 5 or 6, so the other team takes Korpisalo instead of burning a retention spot.
