  1. If we’re trading players that don’t fit in our rebuild timeline, Laughton should go- I don’t get how you turn down a 1st and a 2nd for him. Makes no sense.

  2. He’s driving up the price on a player he doesn’t really need to move and would still get benefit from staying with the team. Not a fumble at all.

  3. I would say so. You aren’t going to get much better than this. This team, if it wants to do a proper rebuild, is going to need all the draft capital possible in order to get back on track.

  4. I think there’s details omitted from this. It was probably more like a 1st + 2nd + a salary dump player (ie leddy or scandella)

  5. This doesn’t sound right, what are his reason why he denied the trade? I’m curious

  6. If you’re Briere what are you exactly holding out for? A mid 1st? It’s not like he’s Rasmus Ristolainen or something.

  7. I don’t get how you can definitively say it’s a bust when we have almost zero details

  8. Even if I did think that, I’d wait until pick 24 is on the clock to like, turn it into words

  9. No.

    I think Laughton is a great asset and someone who consistently showed up when things were crappy.

    He’s not only a good asset, but a great example for you get talent on the team.

  10. Must have included a cap dump like Scandella/Leddy otherwise saying no makes no sense

  11. No one in their right mind is offering a 1st and 2nd for Laughton. I bet there was a cup dump like another commenter said

  12. We don’t know all the details and he could still trade Laughton for this or a similar or better return. Still 6 days left.

  13. I think Laughton is integral to the team. His vital to the locker room and morale of the team and he is Torts’ guy. While you want to get assets to rebuild, you also want to keep morale up even if you’re losing. You get rid of Laughts, I think it might make the development for Tippett, Cates, etc. More difficult because they don’t have that veteran presence.

  14. I know they said that everyone is available, but I would understand if Laughton was a guy they had too high of a price on so that if someone makes an outrageous overpay you trade him but otherwise you keep him.

    I heard a few things during the season about how good he was in the room. Including how he led the team to the media to handle the Provorov/Pride night situation. If he’s the “adult in the room” as they say, maybe Laughton is a guy they keep. SHOULD they have taken a 1st and a 2nd for him? Probably, but is there franchise irreparably damaged by not having the 29th pick in this years draft, no.

  15. Judging by the fact it says “25st”, the source is probably incorrect or omitting crucial details.

  16. This what happens when you don’t check the article that AI wrote for you.

  17. It’s still just speculation, so no. But regardless, Briere stated it’s not a fire sale, Laughts is cheap abd has term, he’s a vet that Torts likes, it’s clear he’s a part of the rebuild due to all those factors.

  18. You really want to talk about that you really need to talk about that #VotePhillies

  19. OP, your posts read exactly like the user Info-Warz, who used to post here all the time with questions like “did Keith Tkachuk go too far?” or “did Eric stall go too far?”

  20. No, I don’t believe so. He’ll probably carry that same value, possibly more when his contract is further along.

  21. A third liner… for the potential to pick up a top pairing player or first line forward… yep Phillys suffering is eternal.

  22. I hear they’re holding out for somewhere around the 15nd or 16rd pick.
