I would imagine they have a number of guys in mind
and have a good idea as to how the first ten picks will shake out
and want to be in a position to either a) have a choice of talent; b) "guarantee" they get one of the guys they want; or
c) be in a position to trade up again if someone falls. Going from 11 to 7 to get let's say Demidov is a lot easier than going 14 to 7 especially if they think Flyers are of the same mindset.
EDIT: Not to mention they had three second round picks so they likely knew they were going to trade at least one of them so to them they basically just moved up a couple spots for essentially nothing.
Damn. I would have taken that, depending what the picks from the Flyers end.
There's another rumor going around that it was 7 + Korp for Laughton + undetermined picks.

Depending on the picks involved these people are all huffing spraypaint if they turned that down. I am sure Laughton is a great guy but come on

This is how I read it too. If they couldn't get Boston to bite on Korpisalo, Ottawa would have looked to the Flyers. I doubt they preferred to give up #7 over the later first that Boston received.The way I read it is that Ottawa didn’t need them anymore.
Again, we don’t know the picks. That’s everything here. I have no opinion.
I think they are already planning on big name FA chasing..otherwise why bring it up the other day by whoever it was..DB or old man HilfertyI like TK as much as the next guy, but if they don’t cash in on TK and Laughton for premium picks, it’s straight malpractice. They have one more draft left after this one in this fake rebuild to gather young talent. After that, it will be back to the Homer years of chasing every big name FA and cap hell. Time to make hay Danny. No more Couts like albatross contracts for TK’s 28-35 years
There's a rumour right there talking about trading Laughton. Is there anyone even worth chasing in FA?I think they are already planning on big name FA chasing..otherwise why bring it up the other day by whoever it was..DB or old man Hilferty
This year I'd pass simply cause of cap situation..next year when they have cap space..not sure..I mean they can go after Sid lolThere's a rumour right there talking about trading Laughton. Is there anyone even worth chasing in FA?
We give Laughton, we get defenseman.
It's literally never us. Not even going to hope.
There's been rumors for three years about them trading Laughton. They'll never trade himThere's a rumour right there talking about trading Laughton. Is there anyone even worth chasing in FA?
I find that very encouragingRumor we pitched 12th+roster player plus 1st rounder next year to get up to 4 from Columbus. They said no but Lebrun said doesn’t stop you from trying again.
