I'd say he's looked a lot worse than Kerfoot so far, but I'd like to give him a 5-6 game run and a few practices before writing him off.
Confirmed with Link: Laughton (50% retention), a 4th and a 6th to the Leafs for a conditional 2027 1st round pick and Nikita Grebenkin

Are they teeing off with him in May on the links?

Laughton has been horriawful, no doubt.
What bugs me most, though, is that our undoing in the playoffs always seems to be a lack of offense. That concern is compounded this year with our scoring down overall, including Matthews' goal count dipping significantly and long stretches with no secondary scoring.
Even in a perfect world, Laughton doesn't help address that. Why not target a forward that at least could theoretically chip in with some offensive production?

This player wasn’t worth Grebenkin and a 1st on top of him? Disgusting trade.

grebenkin will be remembered for forecheck backcheck paycheck jeeze only 21 and traded along with a 1st for 2 years control of a 30 year old 3rd liner.
Crazy work as a gm your job is to analyze that the market succs and the team has too many holes with a player that looks like he’s trying to over charge us or walk this year should have been a punt
2 games and 1 practice, with 2 linemates. I really struggle with what fans know and expect. Zero perspective, just poorly formed hot takes. Rinse and repeat.
It’s like people thought we were getting some 2C centre that we were gonna slot at 3C. He would hide Domi’s defensive issues too. All while scoring at a 30 goal pace and punching faces.
A 2c is what I expected for a 1st and grebenkin. Getting a career 3rd liner was just dumb. And no I’m not expecting him to be any more so the 2 games don’t matter at all.

Not sure, which team got a 2c, retained for a 1st in the 20's and a 2nd?
Treliving may just be a poor GM.

He's likely worth a second-rounder, with a sweetener added for salary retention, and no Grebenkin.
Mind you, I just like Grebenkin and probably over-value him.
At the TDL, maybe another B-prospect instead. Like . . . . Steeves? Niemela? Kokkonen? Nah. The Leafs don't really have a lot of good prospects thar anybody wants. Cowan, Danford, or bust now that Minten and even Grebenkin are gone. The cupboard is bare.
