Hope he has a good game against his former team tonight.
What This Means for You:
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.
In the meantime, feel free to join our Discord ServerMost likely tried but we were out bid.But why not use the assets for a really good player ?
It's not like we had alot before eitherI am saying we have very little assets to trade in the next couple of season to continue "going for it".

Yup. If we wanted a LW, we could have gotten a terrific one for 1st + Grebekin.Still early, and been trying to give these new players time to fit in, but man he's been bad...
If you're using a 1st at the deadline, you need to bring in a player that's an actual upgrade on somebody on your team. We were supposed to be targeting a 3C upgrade, and not only does it seem like we didn't get that, I'm struggling to justify even having him in a healthy top 12 forwards. He doesn't even bring a specialised skillset (like Lafferty's speed, Acciari's physicality, etc) that we could exploit for a certain role, like past depth additions that cost a fraction of what we paid for Laughton. He's just... there.
There is positively no justification for scratching Holmberg for him... other than his cost. Holmberg is a better skater, plays with more energy and actually looks like he wants to be a Leaf.He is what he is
AHL’er
Does nothing well
Leafs have had some real bad trades over all these yrs and this is just another. Hurts more because we had very little assets to waste. We needed a centre and got a bad winger.
Everyone can see it on the ice.
Putting the Laugh in a Laughton. Only 2 guys didn't get a point tonite... My guy is fightin' it, f'real..
Holy shyt... u nailed it..!! Hahaaaaaaa... I will never unsee that now...!He looks like Kerfoot with brain damage.
I was not tricked. In fact, I was suspended for “flaming” about this bozo when I tried explaining.He’s not doing anything Dewar wasn’t. And at least Dewar is younger, was ingratiated into the locker room, and didn’t cost a 1st and a prospect.
Just a big ol’ pile of nothing with this guy. It’s one thing for fans to be wrong and misled by media outlets. It’s another for a GM and pro scouts to be so blatantly bamboozled.
If there's any generalizations to be made, it's that many here repeatedly protested the idea of acquiring Laughton. So that's a kind of hate before and after the acquisition.I love how hate equates to wisdom. The more you hate Laughton, the more you deserve to graduate from HF and become a scout for the Leafs.
Not too long ago people were going nuts when they signed OEL. Now it's just silly nonsense with Laughton. People are so emotional that they wildly label Grebenkin as a "Blue Chip Prospect". Lol.

It didn't take a ton of wisdom to have serious concerns about a guy playing on the LW with extremely troubling underlying numbers who was supposed to solve our 3C problem
He's a bad 4th liner who's worth a mid round pick at best and we gave up assets that had some value for him
This is bad asset management 101
Very well put. This. Grebenkin will maybe be a middle 6 winger someday but Laughton, up until this trade was a 3C now for a team that could use more centre depth.I love how hate equates to wisdom. The more you hate Laughton, the more you deserve to graduate from HF and become a scout for the Leafs.
