I think so, and if a few guys step up there isn't any reason to think we can't win now.
Well, Lavi's still here...

This. I'd absolutely take him for 1-3 years.
I seriously think he will get somewhere between 4-6 years. The problem is, he just doesn't really fit here. IMO if the Flyers sign him, its only because they have completely given up on developing a player. And its gonna be Coots

No it isn't. It gives us even more center depth, but as people have been assuming for months, Schenn probably moves to wing. And it will help a lot, Schenn and Coots were killing us in faceoffs last year. We need some veteran leadership up front with Briere gone. Coots really isn't ready to take over 2C unless you want disappointment and another rebuild year. It makes a ton of sense to sign Vinny. I just hope its under 5.5 and 4 or less years. Don't want another Briere in a few years, with no buyout for backup.
It certainly makes Laughton expendable though. Maybe we see him moved in a deal for Miller or Halak.
Oh hell no. You don't move Laughton for .50 cents on the dollar just because you can't pencil him in right away.
Not a one-for-one, as part of a deal. Maybe get a rough pmd prospect back, I have no idea who Buffalo and StL have available though. Just saying, we have a hole in goal and Laughton would be expendable, could be he would be used to address that hole.
Personally I'd like to see Thomas signed for a year or two and either give Laughton the 4C or wait to bring him up to the NHL another year.
We don't want a PMD prospect, we need a PMD that STARTS. Thats why Coots becomes the expendable piece. Schenn is your 3C and Laughton starts as the 4C. Hes clearly got the most value, and the only way you can get what you truly need.
Remove one Briere, add another.
Briere had some great seasons with this team and I hope he can find his scoring again next season. He was great for this team and just lost it towards the end in Philly.
