He's still better on wing, but you're not getting a top prospect. IMO he actually has more value on a rebuilding club like the Flyers than he does on a team looking to take the next step. the Hart part. I don't think the Sabres are in the goalie market, and certainly not for a goalie with average stats and the last year before his RFA when they have Luukkonen and Levi--who is pretty good--waiting in the wings. They're set. I don't see them as a goalie buyer. And certainly not for #13. Not what I've read. They're actively pursuing Helleybuck, have talked about Sauros, and have possibly also considered Gibson. Levi is their future hope but they don't want to rush him and don't think much of Luukonen. If their attempted deals fail they will of course say they planned to go Levi Lukkonen/Comrie all along as GMs do. Hart and Laughton (throw in DesLauriers if they want him) for 2 first and a second.

Laughton was one of Hacktol's favs so I won't close the door on anything yet even if you can an expiring contract back I would listen they have to weapoonize this cap space one way or the other they don't need any free agents yet.

Have you watched Seattle though? They don't play like his version of the Flyers did. He's changed his coaching and adapted to the league now. I just don't see it but you never know. Winnipeg would seem the better fit imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't think he's a "needs to go" guy. There's a lineup of those in front of him. Nor is he a "needs to keep". I just can't understand the hate for a guy who's top 5 in scoring and 10th in salary. Doesn't sound like a problem to me. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laughton has solid speed and can play wing in a pinch he can play up tempo. I watched them in the playoffs not the season so much. He can still help them I think Hak can use him as a depth guy. We'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they upgrade their D and maybe get another goalie to go with Grubauer over adding forwards but anything's possible. I see multiple deals before the draft likely to happen for many teams. Dominos will fall as players move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is kind of a poster child for being content on a bad team where he's 5th in scoring. Not "a problem" but not necessarily a solution either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo Rick Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 Obviously Danny is popular in both Philly and Buffalo. He made sure to keep a good reputation in both cities he made big impacts in. I wish him luck, I must say I’m surprised by this. I’m sure you know it’s risky. Great players don’t always translate into great coach’s or GMs. In any sport . It’s kind of a bitter pill for Sabres and Flyers to see expansion Vegas hoist the Cup tomorrow night. Oh, do any of you doubt it’s going to happen? It will happen. Accept it. At least it won’t be Reinhart. I actually thought he might wind up in Philly. Again, I hope you all get through todays horrible event on I-95.

BobbyClarkeFan16 Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 Laughton is a Tortorella favourite though and that could be a problem with any team trying to acquire him. His value is worth more to the Flyers than any other club because of how much Tortorella likes him. Some team is going to have to overpay to get him. I'm interested in seeing who makes a bid for Konecny. Apparently Edmonton has reached out about him, but I have to think teams like Carolina, Dallas and Colorado would be in on him. The good news is that there's no rush and Briere is playing a great long game with his remaining assets. He's playing it smart and it's good to see. I trust him with whatever he gets in return. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobbyClarkeFan16 Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 Of note, the Ottawa Senators are apparently interested in Laughton. If that's the case, they have some good prospects that will fit the rebuild. If the Flyers can pull off something like Grieg and Bernard-Docker for him, that's a win. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So a 30-year-old who hasn't achieved very much, is content with that, and is a favorite of a coach who has as many first round wins in the last nine years as the Flyers do is too valuable to trade for a late first in a stocked draft by a rebuilding team?

GratefulFlyers Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 Where did this "he's content" bit come from? Some remark Laughton made to the press? Was it like when Voracek said "nobody can go 100% every shift every game" or something like that, which the haters immediately pounced on to mean "I take pride in being lazy on the ice?" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Said at 30 he's not needed for the rebuild. And, no, winning the IIHF simply means you didn't make the NHL playoffs. Again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
