Proposal: Ottawa - Philly

[PatrickMcC]

Josh Norris for Scott Laughton Colorado or Edmontons 1st and a 2nd.

Seravalli reported that Sens are exploring trade options for Norris. Laughton is a good 3C while Pinto slides into the 2C spot. Ottawa also gets valuable cap space and picks to acquire a top 6 forward. Philly needs centers and Norris would be an upgrade and a top 2 C on their team. He’s also still fairly youngish.

As a Flyers fan I always dreamed of trading 1st round pick for a centerman with 1 primary assist at 5x5, who also never reached even 70 GP.

60 points in his last 100 games and he's made of glass. For $8M/year. Yikes.

Awful for Philadelphia.

Laughton would return a 1st + on his own, so Philly is basically sacrificing, what... two 1sts, a 2nd and a 3rd or so for Josh Norris? No chance.

In a Norris/Laughton trade, I am almost certain that the + would be coming from Ottawa. Norris has some very good qualities (he is good defensively and on faceoffs, physically-engaged, and is a good or perhaps even very good goal scorer), but he is an average playmaker/offensive creator, he has serious injury concerns, and is paid a lot for a long time.

lol no. How about you add a 1st to Norris, and remove our 1st, and we do it.

Edit: Nvm, you have to add more than that because he has a NMC after next season smh.

That's what Briere wants for him, sure, but doubtful he gets it, hence why Laughton is still there, that's been the ask since Briere was hired

Ottawa fans are delusional with Norris’ value. Holy f***.

I am going based off of this:

I am going based off of this:

If he gets a first it will be the same way that Reaves got a first, by packaging a 2nd with him, but stranger things have been know to happen I guess. As long as it's not the Sens doing it

No just this dude.

Not all of them(me) but a lot are ya, lol. Give the Sens a mid round pick and I'll drive him to whatever city he needs to go to!

You could flip that 1st to be going towards Philly and I'm still not sure it's a great deal for Philly. Norris is a decent 2C when healthy, but he can't stay healthy and has a huge contract. Even taking out the AAV, he's owed something like $45 million for the 5.25 years left on his deal.

Even if he stayed healthy, he's still not worth his contract and money he's owed. With his injuries, Ottawa would probably be happy for someone to just take the contract off their hands.

I am going based off of this:

Yeah, don't. Lots of teams want Laughton. None want to pay a 1st for him.

I wouldn't want my team to give up a 1st for him, but there is plenty of precedence for GMs thinking otherwise when it comes to players like Laughton.

He certainly holds more value than Frederic, imo.

More than Frederic? Maybe. maybe not. Different kinds of value, but close to = I think.
