Even if it’s a 2nd the. We made a move. Way better than 1-3 for like 15 games of foligno

Temporarily. There could be plenty of reasons for that. I’m not an expert on the guy and it hasn’t gone well, but I was always under the impression he as a c for years. If that is true I don’t think 20 games changes that.
Heck maybe they were trying out C to see if they can move him.

16 shifts for 11:13 tonight. 37% in the dot on 8 draws. Was late to the shooter on the PP goal.
Have to hope he figures something out. He's very close to being a scratch for Kampf based on tonight's numbers..A reset might not be bad but also massive egg on face.

I hadn’t really thought of it that way, but I think Laughton will work out here. That said, there’s a scenario where he doesn’t — and maybe we flip him for a 2nd, or even a 1st if we’re the ones retaining. Philly’s already eating half, so if the real cost of adding him for this playoff run is trading down from a late 1st to an early or mid 2nd, that’s pretty solid business. Then it just comes down to what Grebenkin turns into, of course.

I'd throw him on the second line for a couple games, Berube obviously isn't settled there. Get him going.

Exactly.
Not sure about you, but I’m much more interested in the Leafs having players who can play at the NHL level instead of try-hard minor leaguers.
Brock Nelson is not scoring on the high flying Avs.
The hate for Laughton is dumb.

I follow the Leafs first and foremost. I watch a lot of hockey, but when it is not NHL, it is Leaf prospects and not traded ones.
Perfect
Yeah I'm wondering about this one. If the fourth line is a demotion, does he not want to be here, late for practice?
The organization brought him here for a purpose and Berube is supposed to execute that plan.
Maybe the fourth line is his preferred way to ease him in and get him going? I dunno, but I'm skeptical for now with Berube when it comes to personnel.
His job is to to make the players work. Especially pricey tdl acquisitions, whom we inherently acquired because we felt we needed them to come here, and work, to win.

How many of those 11 goals were empty netters? No way he scored 11 real goals.
Why? Throw him on the third line put bobby bacc on the second line and let him go enough of the bs
Maybe he wants Laughton on a checcin line which would make sense if he’s defensively sound he just doesn’t really seem like a natural center to me better defensively then domi but domis just a better player
I forget. Have we tried
Mcmann. Laughton. Jarnkrok?
Would that not make sense? I guess where do you put domi?
I never really wanted Laughton. But at 1.5 million for 2 years and his league wide value it’s not terrible

He played better last night .. maybe 4th line role suits him more .. i like him better than Kampf .. i guess they are moving on from Kampf in summer .. flip Kampf for a 1st to Pens .. Dumbass likes him
Maybe?
Or a 2nd and a 3rd or something in the off season. I’m not writing the guy off after 5 games. He isn’t an already back injured foligno.
Statistically if the pick is past 20 it’s a crap shoot anyway, but we may keep him.
Lots of teams loved him. He didn’t just suck now.
I didn’t really want him. But I am glad we got Carlo. If he’s a winger not sure what he brings that Jarnkrok doesn’t other than a fight or 2
Lets just be patient with Laughts here. I know its not the results we want to see early on, but we have to remind ourselves that this is a high pressure spot for him. He's just been traded to his hometown club for a big price tag and he's not exactly being thrown into situations where he is primed to put up points. And like it or not, that is how a player will start to feel good about himself.
I genuinely think he's gunna turn a corner for us soon.

Two things can be true. Yes Laughton hasn't worked out. Neither has Brock
But Brock doesn't play for us
Not much time, but he's been bad, hopefully he turns it around.
The red flag that concerns me is after a good career as a 3C, sometimes 2C on bad Flyers teams he started to struggle and then was moved to the wing where his play rebounded.
If he's not good enough anymore to be a centre on a bad team who's C depth looks like: The husk of Sean Couturier, Noah Cates, Ryan Poehling, ??? that's concerning.
Your Pro scouts better know what their doing if you're slotting him into the 3C hole on a playoff team.
