Confirmed with Link: Laughton (50% retention), a 4th and a 6th to the Leafs for a conditional 2027 1st round pick and Nikita Grebenkin

Didn't see the first game but this reaction to Laughton it's, a bit much. Flyers fans and management have a ton of respect for this guy. I dunno we'll see.

Respect doesn’t equate to what we gave up but we knew we overpaid

There wasn't any center with scoring capability really available

?? Nelson, Cozens, Norris all got traded. Maybe they weren't realistic options for the Leafs but nobody was forcing Tre to pay 80% of the price for 50% of the return.

Scott Laughton has an average PPG of 0.40, which is about a 33 point scorer... which is basically a bad Kerfoot year, and about 6 points better than a great Kampf year. At 3C you can say yeah well his job isn't to score, etc. Add more bite, personality, give him credit for being versatile, well respected, high energy, whatever you want. Doesn't really move the needle in any meaningful way at best. It was an extremely heavy price.

Laughton does hit. Where keefoot used to get hit

Laughton isn't good as he was advertised or bad as he appeared to be

But he doesn't solve our depth scoring problem

Just Nelson, and you know... LOU probably was never doing that. Sad, but Laughton will be fine, we all just have to chill and see it play out. I agree with your sentiment. Kerfoot a touch more offence but Laughton will be a better playoff player IMO. We shall see.....
