Miscellaneous NHL Discussion CX: That's A Lot.

[Curufinwe]

I don’t venture out of the Flyers threads often but reading the leafs comments are comedy. The Flyers PR sold them the Brooklyn bridge.

As I said often this season, they should have traded for Frost. He was the 3C with solid defense and playmaking skills they needed.

Great call…. Never thought about that as I really don’t follow the nhl outside of the flyers but I am finding it comical how the leafs fans are expecting more out of Hotrod. He has been the exact same player for over ten years. Frost would be their perfect 3C.

Even beyond the intangible talking points Laughton was playing middle of the lineup type of minutes with the Flyers in recent years.

NHL front offices by large aren’t really aware of the effects that usage/ice time have on a player’s surface production.

He was due for noticeable decline in production given he was going to an actual good team that has most of their top nine solidified.

Wasn't he supposed 3rd line matchup center to bump Domi to the wing?

But the locker room!! All these stat guys can't quantify THAT!!

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.

Making fun of the Leafs is one thing, but why make fun of Laughton? If by some miracle Toronto wins the Cup, at least they have one player now I'll be happy for.

Similar energy:

As if we are making voodoo dolls. A high usage replacement level player on a bad team — who we were told was irreplaceable — is playing like a replacement level player on a playoff team. The Flyers are the butt of every joke, not the player.

Speaking of icetime...

...Jack St. Ivany has averaged more icetime this season than Michkov

Love to read it

 

[Appleyard]

Gauthier has been on an absolute heater the last 2 months or so. Odds are he ends up a very good 70+ point winger...

Drysale better get his ass in gear.

Drysdale stinks and always will stink. Skating ability is incredible but his IQ is nearly non-existent. Bob Murray should be nowhere near this organization.

Or that 2nd turns into a God.

Should have just held on to him.

I wonder what a very young 70pt wing could fetch on the open market?

 

[Strawberry Fields]

We're not gonna be laughing when Laughton signs his 7-year NMC retirement contract here next summer. Maybe 8 years after the Flyers trade the Leafs a pick for his signing rights the week before free agency.

More than Damaged Goods Drysdale and a 2nd

I miss deadhead saying the 2nd rounder — sort of almost a 1st maybe possibly — was the real asset Briere wanted. Drysdale was a throw-in.

Also, McGroarty had more value than Gauthier.

One of the all-time great fantasy visionaries. Entire worlds out of thin air.

Love to see it. I'm rooting for that kid. Anything to make the egg on this shitty org's face smell more rotten is a huge win

he will be back next year soon as they win 3 games..

"wins are sure piling up huh boys"..

 

[FLYguy3911]

Between the declaration that there would be no trades before the Four Nations and there had to be more coming back in the Frost/Farabee trade...he went out on a high note.
