I don’t put too much stock in captains. It’s an honor for the player, but I think truly great leaders (to the point where they can change a team/game) are rare or even virtually nonexistent. The more important thing is not having toxic guys in the locker room. So the fact that he’s a captain means virtually nothing to me. Trade associate captain Laughton too please.Giving away captains and top 6 centers, seems very Flyers.
Couts and Frost is all we have with nothing coming. If this is a 6 year proper rebuild sure, but it isnt even a 3 year rebuild.
Regarding your 2nd comment, yes we currently only have Coots and Frost, but I’d rather have that money freed up to go get a younger 2C without injury concerns, both for now and definitely for the future.
This is all just a silly discussion anyway though, because nobody is trading for Coots with only 1MM/yr retained unless you attach a first round pick. Especially not given how he has played the last couple months.
