Miscellaneous NHL Discussion CX: That's A Lot.

I only now realized Provorov hasn't signed extension with jackets and may walk. Thought he would garner much more buzz around the deadline.
 
I find it pretty weird that some people are taking so much joy in watching one of our former players fail, tbh. But to each their own.
I think it's more a vindication of what the Flyers value;culture, intangibles, hard to play against, locker room guy, do not a good hockey player make. Laughton has not added any value to the Leafs and was thus not adding any value to the Flyers. It's amazing they managed to land a 1st and a player for him, and doubley amazing that it was like pulling teeth for them to trade him

The Flyers at least seemed to know that Laughton was the 5th best center on the team and tended to use him that way. They mostly put Laughton on the wing, mostly.

I was a supporter of Laughton for a decade, and thought his last contract was good value at the time. But his defense has been very poor for almost three years now so it is objectively funny that a contender traded a decent haul for him with the idea he could be a solid two-way 3C in 2025.
