Philly will be going for the cup, trading their only stay at home dman and last yrs playoff top scorer for youngster/future timmins doesn't help this playoffs, (not to mention Timmins probably falls below Zamula, Cam York on prospect depth chart).
Compher for Laughton is probably close to a wash at any point before season, but doubt a team that'll likely be fighting for the top seed in the east moves such key players at the deadline. PHI will be looking for pieces to win the cup, not futures and not moving such key figures, especially for downgrades and futures. If you said after the season, sure.
And Pateryn does nothing to move the needle, hes a scratch for you, but he's a lesser Braun, (who's rightfully scratched in COL).
Overall, this trade does nothing for Philly, but make them worse this year.
