He's five years younger and has consistently been one of the four of five fastest players in the NHL, and teams are always trying to get quicker. Laughton has a decent first step, but McLeod is a rocket ship. Speed. You can’t teach it, it doesn’t go into slumps, and it's useful on offense and defense. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jammer2 Posted July 6 Share Posted July 6 I knew Sabres were trading off a Center prospect. I still expect Ostlund to get dealt also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nevermind. Lol I'm sleep deprived. I'm going to bed. (I still think Flyers should have at least kicked tires with Laughton, but even if they did we'd never know.

How about cutting out the Oilers, dangle the Edm or Colorado 1st rd pick and make a 3 way trade with one of the remaining 29 teams? Solving the 1st line conundrum was a 3 way trade away...I just hope this avenue was explored! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
