Proposal: Free agency edition Trade Rumours/Proposals [MOD - Stay on Topic] 5

[Pierre from Orleans]

There are some on here that would take Laughton over Koneckny in an equal piece trade.

What do you mean? Like...if the price was the same they'd take Laughton over TK? Because....lol

 

[CallSaul]

That would be great but I'd guess the value gap between #7 and #12 is probably two 2nds, or #31/32 and something else small, not Laughton who probably has the value of a couple 2nds himself.

I think it depends on how much the Flyers like the guy they want to select at #7.

From what I've seen, there is a lot of variance in how teams see the top 8-9 guys, so the Flyers could have someone like Dickinson or Demidov as the #2 or #3 prospect on their board.

So for them, it'd be like trading up for a top 3 talent, not a #7 pick, which would warrant being more aggressive.

THE Scott Laughton?

 

[Erik Alfredsson]

Lol people still put any stock into JFresh cards?

 

[Golden_Jet]

Our PK was ranked 29th last season, we had to play Rourke Chartier as our #3C for significant portions of the year, and we got next to no offensive, or defensive, contribution from our bottom 6.

I'd say improving that is a pretty pressing need.

RD, goaltending and Pinto
Everything else comes after that.

Scrap the cards entirely, just weatch him and we should come to the same conclusion

He's a 30 year old playing ~12 minutes ES a night, and he's not doing a great job of it.

 

[Pierre from Orleans]

THE Scott Laughton?

I think he is given the nickname of the GOAT around these parts.

Bro I have no idea. There just seems to be a Laughton groupie on this board for whatever reason.

I didn't watch much of him this year. Previous years he seemed to be a useful player. He's probably being used in situations that he doesn't belong in, because Tortorella has praised him multiple times to the media.

There's a lot of players in the league that are good players but being played in a bigger role than they should be, and look bad as a result.

That's just plain odd

He's providing 12 minutes of elite culture every game.

Intangibles. 3rd line Jonathan Toews.

 

[DrEasy]

He's providing 12 minutes of elite culture every game.

I think Margaret Atwood would be cheaper to acquire.

"Ottawa may now be the last serious team in the mix" were the words Brucie used for Ullmark.

 

[BigRig4]

Yost tweeted for the first time since his Sens/Flyers framework post yesterday to re-iterate the Flyers are looking to move up in the draft.

Putting the puzzle pieces together, I feel like we're going to move down from 7 to 12.

A few possibilities emerge. We know Sens have liked Laughton in the past, but is that enough to justify moving out of the top 10 on it's own?

They were reportedly interested in Joseph last pre-season, so maybe he plays into this as well.

 

[OttawaSenators11]

7th for 12th and Laughton? no thanks

Keep the pick get the guy you want without risking losing out

 

[Alf Silfversson]

I'm still not sure why they are hell bent in trading for both Tanev brothers considering they are 34 & 32 yrs old. I get they need some more experience in their lineup, but there must be some better options out there especially if Chris wants more than a couple of yrs term & both are somewhat expensive given their age. Clearly that kind of player is valuable & sought after & shows how rare they are in the NHL these days.

I agree. To me the guy they should go after hard is Matt Roy. RD who plays a smart defensive game, physical when needed, provides some 5-on-5 offense (similar to Zub) and although he's 29 he has only 369 games of NHL experience. I think his game could still be improving. I'd give him 6years at $5M.

 

[Micklebot]

Joseph+ out for Tanev
Sign other Tanev,~4.5-5.5M
Sign C.Brown ~1-2 Mil
Chychrun+ and dump Korpisalo or Forsberg out for Ulmark (may need another team involved)
Bridge Pinto at 3.5


FORWARDS: ~48.5-49.5 mil
Tkachuk-Stutzle-Giroux
Tanev-Pinto-Batherson
Greig-Norris-Brown?
Kelly-Kastelic-Ostapchuk
MacEwen

DEFENSE: ~28-29 mil
Sanderson-Tanev
Chabot-Zub
Kleven-JBD
Hamonic

GOALIES: ~7.750-9M
Ulmark
Forsberg/Korpisalo

Buyouts and overages: ~225k

CAPHIT: 86.5-88M

Trade chips: Chychrun, 25 OA, moving back from 7 to 12th at the furthest, 39 OA,

If Laughton is part of the deal, I’d imagine he’s a throw in to make salary work, not the reason the Sens are trading down.

This guy is exactly what Chabot needs

7th for 12th and Laughton? no thanks

I hope not either - I'm purely speculating

I don't know if we can attract Roy, Tanev seems like he might be more inclined to sign here, but Roy at 5mx6 would be a great signing too.

If Philly wants to give us Laughton as the 'sweetener' for moving up from 12 to 7, they better be giving us another first rounder (Florida's this year doesn't count).

Excellent. Now offer less.


If Ullmark is convinced to come here and only here we got em by the balls.

 

[Wallet Inspector]

If we trade down with Iginla still on the board, and pick Yakemchuk and #12, I'll probably be seething about it all summer.

Aw yeah. Get it done Stevie wonder!
