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

 

[Cap'n Flavour]

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

There wasn't any center with scoring capability really available

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.....

It's Tough to get chemistry and assignments at the forward position and we played Colorado .

Wrong.

Laughton's correct PPG

2022/23 = 0.55 PPG = 45 points per 82
2023/24 = 0.47 PPG = 39 points per 82.
2024/25: 0.46 PPG = 36.9 points per 82

Total last 3 seasons = 0.49 PPG = 40.4 points per 82.

What we paid is like 25 % of get a NHL player in like 6-7-8 years. Just watch draft between 21 tob 32, you will see 1 maybe 2 and if you're lucky 3 player and in an amaizing draft 4 on those 12 pick who will become good NHL player and 7-8-9-10-11 player who will become nothing or at best like a 4th line player or 6/7 th D. You can watch nhl draft history and will see it by yourself

It's not an overpayment, it's fan who actually overrating real 1st pick value, that's pretty different

100% chance to get a player who's gonna help you for 2 year at great salary cap vs 25% to get something one day and who's maybe be better, it's what it is in reality
