Rumor: Laughton trade talks heating up

[Fatass]

The only thing that even stands a chance to overshadow the SuperBowl in Canada is a blockbuster Leafs trade lol

Hockey is long up here. Imagine what happens to HF if Crosby was traded to the Leafs during the Superbowl.

I hope your right…keeps both out of WPG

Absolutely No interest in Riskylainen.

More I think about over the last couple days, more I like him. But that’s only if no true 2C is available or cost way too much or as Chevy says are poor fits. No interest in Risto.

Also need to upgrade 3LHD.

If we added Laughton, our centre depth here, while lacking a game breaking 1/2 punch, is probably amongst the deepest of the playoff bound teams. And there's certainly something to be said of quality depth vs top loaded talent (I'm lookin at you, 20/21 covid bubble Oilers)

Chevy should ldefinitely ook at calling anaheim to get Dumoulin to upgrade our 3LD, and while there inquire if Trouba would entertain returning to the Peg for a cup run. You could even pair them together so as to not mess up the chemistry of our top-4. This D group here would do damage in the post season. (just let me dream about this happening...)

Connor-Scheifele-Vilardi
Ehlers-Namesnitkov-Perfetti
Nino-Lowry-Lambert
Kupari-Laughton-Iafallo

Morrissey-DeMelo
Samberg-Pionk
Dumoulin-Trouba

Just want to point out Laughton has been the 5th center on the 27th ranked Flyers this season.

Couturier, Frost, Cates and Poehling were all used at center ahead of him. Laughton is easily the worst defensive player of those five at ES, although he can score a bunch short handed.
