3Cs are available in free agency, and Center is the most well stocked position in Anaheim, we're not interested in Laughton, certainly not at that cost.

Agreed. Definitely prefer to keep Lacombe

We don't need Scott Laughton -- I wouldn't trade him for picks 59 and 65, let alone throw in Jackson LaCombe.

Agreed, just sign Dakota Joshua to a tiny bit larger contract and have Lundy there as our 3C even

I have my concerns about Lunde. His best season was sub-30 points. Last year he had 14, this year he’s on a 17 point pace for 82 games. I’d give him a one year prove-it deal due to the injury he’s come off of this year, but I’m not at all convinced that he’s more than a 4th line NHLer

Vegas has William Karlsson at 3C on nearly a 70pt pace. At worst you need someone like Colorado’s Colton on a 40pt pace while playing phenomenal defense. And Gaucher’s very mediocre year in SD wasn’t promising that he’ll fill the role admirably or soon (god I wish we took Snuggerud 🤦‍♂️)
