Can't do it with those terms. There's a cut-off point around pick 40 where the answer flips from yes to no.

You ever look at the stats of a player making it to the NHL between a 40th and 64th pick?

Do you think Laughton or this 2nd round pick will be more likely to contribute in ~5 years when Michkov is in his prime?

That should give you your answer.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Yes, simply so that I can finally have my ask of the organization trading one single player that the coach didn’t have a problem with be fulfilled.

He needs to go. He’s needed to go.

If that’s all he’s worth these days then that’s just another indictment on the organization but what’s done is done.

 

[Flyerfan4life]

considering DB said Capn Culture is worth more then a 1st round pick to the Org. you already have ur answer..

 

[dragonoffrost]

Should they Yes....

Will they? We all know that answer.

 

[Larry44]

Things like this make a trade of Laughton more possible. A new potential buyer has entered the market: Detroit.

Red Wings lose centre Andrew Copp to season-ending injury

 

[Rebels57]

Yes, then use the 2nd and Edmonton's 1st to trade up in the draft.

 

[GKJ]

Should still be 2nd-plus.

 

[Lord Defect]

They could trade him for a 5th and I’d be happy.

 

[Magua]

I want them to make 30 picks in this vaunted 2025 draft and go all-in on this being the best draft of all time, despite no one else thinking so. And all 30 players bust, and they still somehow let a future star go one pick after.

Yes. That’s a roundabout way of saying yes.

Boom. Nailed it. He is on the wrong side of 30. He’s only getting worse from here. Better a 2nd this year than a 3rd next or nothing the year after.

YES X 10000000000000

But they won't, so who cares !

 

[bennysflyers16]

My phone is blowing up today on people asking about Laughton here, I may be talking him up a bit

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

Can’t trade the future GM and team president for no less than 5 first round picks. Can’t replace the culture.

Tortersmella said in today's pregame presser that they are going for a playoff spot. They aren't moving these 2.

not one person here could have called this...

Dreger said the ask is a first or "equivalent prospect". More if they take a contract back (we know how this goes).

Of course they are..they, as proven time and again, are not patient enough for a real rebuild...which we all saw lol well most of us

If the Gm at the WORST can't trade the Flyers 3 and Laughton for a late 1 to replicate the Goodrow trade, I feel absolutely doomed.

 

[captainpaxil]

I don't see the rush on getting less than a first. Playoff teams pick late and that's the teams to whom Laughton has value. He's under contract for another year and if it's not a first or equivalent prospect I'll wait it out another year.

I agree that his value may be a little higher next year without the term of another season on his contract. But it feels like his name has been out there for half a decade now, we all are just bored by watching him play ... he needs to go.
