Rumor: Laughton trade talks heating up

[TheKingPin]

Hathaway definitely still has value. The contract is less than ideal but there’s only 1 year left after this one and the cap increase this summer has to go somewhere.

The Leafs could use some sandpaper in their lineup (Reaves is a massive liability) and Hathaway is skilled enough that he can chip in with some timely goals in the course of a playoff run.

I’d question whether the return will be worth it to the flyers though, as Torts seems to look at Hathaway as one of the “culture setting” players for the Flyers

The time for the Flyers to trade Hathaway was last year pre new contract. He looked pretty good last year. This year, not so much and he has term now. Can’t see him being traded, but if someone wants him that’s great.

When did people start throwing blank instead of shit?

Thats what I want to know. And why are they reaching for shit to throw? Wasn't there any other weapons laying around. Rock, pitchfork, sledge hammer, horse? I wouldn't care if someone threw shit at me, but a horse? You get hit by a flying horse and you are going to feel that.

Don’t want this guy in Toronto.

That's because you don't want to get better.

I have yet to see you post about a player you do want.

You get hit by a flying horse you are probably going to die, I think that's how that goes

I have a feeling this is a trade all but agreed upon, the Flyers are high on Minten and I suspect the Leafs may be willing to move him 1 for 1 for Laughton

If it happens I don't think it's as simple as Minten for Laughton, I do think Risto or Hathaway are likely involved

This trade heats up like a diesel engine in cold weather

Brière kinda strikes me as a guy who views himself as the smartest guy in the room.

While the rest laugh at him behind his back.

You've just described every Flyer GM since Keith Allen. (He didn't get laughed at, because he generally was the smartest guy in the room.)

He really seems to over playing his pocket 10’s as an elite hand.

Laughton is a decent piece. I really like him. However, he’s not elite, he’s not a game changer.

Brière could easily mess this up and get nothing when it’s clear Philly needs pieces to help the rebuild.

1st round pick or a blue chip prospect for a 4th line scrub does not help the Leafs. This player is trash.
