Off those trades/UFA signings only Atkinson, Johansen & Laughton trades makes any sense for Flyers. Shouldn't sign any of those UFAs either.

They shouldn't be paying any assets for players like Seguin or Graves nor get tied for those players for years..

Blues hang up the phone and block your number.

Penguins accept and uber Graves to PHI today

Blues won't be spending a first for Laughton

no, graves has little value to flyers
johansen might not play next year, if he is healthy he is bought out
no one is paying for atkinson
hell no to seguin contract. already have to deal with couturier

none of the free agent targets are good either. brossoit makes some sense but they're gonna re-sign fedotov and have kolosov as #3

not a chance Blues give a first for Laughton.

I would feel comfortable with the Blues paying a 3rd for Laughton. Not a 1st and a 3rd. Its doubtful Laughton was really worth a 1st, I know the reports from last offseason, but its more logical to assume with the confirmed Krug/Sanheim swap it was part of a much bigger deal that included one of the Blues late 1sts last year and what was reported a prospect for Sanheim and Laughton.

Is this the “if Chuck Fletcher was still here” scenario?
