We sincerely apologize for the extended downtime. Our hosting provider, XenForo Cloud, encountered a major issue with their backup system, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of some critical data from the past year.
What This Means for You:
- If you created an account after March 2024, it no longer exists. You will need to sign up again to access the forum.
- If you registered before March 2024 but changed your email, username, or password in the past year, those changes were lost. You’ll need to update your account details manually once you're logged in.
- Threads and posts created within the last year have been restored.
- Our 2025 light and dark themes were lost, so we are rebuilding them. Light theme is currently available, but work in progress
Our team is working with Xenforo Cloud to recover data using backups, sitemaps, and other available resources. We know this is frustrating, and we deeply regret the impact on our community. We are taking steps with Xenforo Cloud to ensure this never happens again. This is work in progress. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this.

this was always an overpay but I'll give him some time
If he does well in the playoffs the struggles now won't matter

He's been shit at all aspects of hockey so far
One of the worst trades in recent memory

Yeesh. Dude has been awful, but even I am not THIS ruthless yall...?!? Dayuummmm
He’s definitely been bad so far, but I’ll give him 10 games to figure out how to contribute here.
I’ve liked what he brought to Philly for the last 10 years, so he just needs to do that here!

Honestly the First impressions of him on the leafs are not good so far, but he only played three games for us. Let him acclimate to his new team in the last stretch of the regular season, and see what he can do in the playoffs. Hopefully he performs well there.
He is a good player, still has to find his way. Maybe some line mates he can mesh with, will take a few games to discover that. Be patient
His recent numbers are better on the wing. That's where he should be playing.
If they're bringing him as a #3 center then it's not going to be easy for him. He can win faceoffs but the rest of his game starts to dwindle in that spot.

First of all no, not even remotely close.
I present to you Martin Erat for Filip Forsberg as Exhibit A.
Exhibit B being Tanner Jaenote for an entire draft class.
Exhibit C being Adam Oates to Philadelphia for a 1st, 2nd, 3rd and a goalie prospect.
Exhibit D would be Tatar to Vegas for a 1st 2nd and 3rd.
I can do this all day your question is completely ridiculous.
2nd It's been 3 games let's let him get settled in.
It’s not an idiotic thread. Ignore those wearing their blue and white glasses. They are brainwashed as usual
I have to wonder if they actually scouted this guy and watched him play at all.
He’s slow, offers no offensive threat at all and is not a good PKer but they keep putting him on the PK.

Who cares anymore. The best hope we have is that it fails in catastrophic fashion. It's long past a Leafs fans revolt that never happens. It's why we never win. There is no pressure at the printing press.
Is it the worst trade ever? No.
Is it a bad trade? Oh f*** yeah. This trade stinks to high heaven.
How could the world's largest front office in the sport get it so wrong.
Did they just take Briere's word that Laughton could play centre. Because I've seen him play three games. And each time he has clearly been way over his head.
I'm so glad we got Laughton instead of Rantanen.
The sad thing is how many people were giving Treliving an A for this trade. You all got what you wanted so I hope you're happy. Imagine thinking a 3C would be the difference between winning a cup or going out in the first round again.
Then celebrate paying a 1st + prospect for a third line winger.

So far it has been a terrible trade .. but as I said at beginning da price of a 1st was way way way too high .. we needed a shut down 3rd line C and what we got is a guy who is nearly done in league .. our pro scouting must be dog crap .. lets hope he can regain his wheels although I doubt it .. he looks washed to me .. but I hope I am wrong here
i didn't know you could win or lost a trade in 3 game...
For me the closer trade to laughton is maybe blake coleman
After being trade to tampa, he did nothing good in the 9 game played before season ending by covid19... but by playing some time and created chemistry, he finally had a fantastic impact come playoff time.
Leafs didn't trade for Laughton to look sexy for the remaining time in regular season, it's a move for the playoff.
Just give him time to adapt...

So glad we gave up our future to get a guy who was a winger on a trash team. Would rather put Kampf in at 3C or let Minten take the reigns than trade away multiple firsts and prospects for guys who don't move the needle.
There have been a lot of these bad calls from scouting. They may want to clear the deck
