<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>sk540</b></div><div>We're too much?!?!? Says a member of the most unrealistic fanbase in the world. I'm not making up anything, it is well known that we have rejected late round 1sts for Laughton. It came out that Dubas was very close to acquiring him two years ago before Laughton's extension, which was said to be a 1st, which would have been late since you guys have been in the playoffs. The fact that they were offered and then declined, says he is worth at least a 1st. How is that so hard to comprehend. Go look at all your other little Leafs ACGM's, apparently your fans love Laughton, so he's just a bit more than a throw away bottom 6 guy as you put it.</div></div>

He is a very solid bottom 6 who can slot in anywhere in your lineup in a pinch. I do not see him worth a 1st. He is a nice veteran, but if you can acquire a 1st no questions asked he has to go. This is a rebuild not the b.s. with we need good veterans to show the rookies the ropes. Show them what? We need talent and to get that you need assets in a rebuild. Our best player of the last 20 years got us Tippett and a 1st. All these GMs think Scott Laughton will fetch us a 1st and.......Not a shot in hell. He is desireable because he has term on a reasonable cap hit. He is a nice depth player, but nothing more. You dont win cups because of Scott Laughton. He can be a nice piece on a cup winning team however.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>flyersarephilly</b></div><div>Seems like Frost and Foerster have some immediate chemistry which is nice. I've been loving what I've seen out of him the past few games we'll see what happens with Cutter as well, I'm hoping he goes back to school for another year no need to rush him into an elc when entering a rebuild would want the elc cap hit when you're ready to compete. Hopefully we end the season in 5th from bottom and either Michkov falls or we win the lottery</div></div>

Winning the lottery and getting Bedard would be nuts. I cannot even fathom that lol.

Forester has suprised me. I heard about how his skating was meh, but he looks quicker than I expected. Also his shot it legit. Frost is coming along as well. Cates is a solid depth piece as well. I agree with keeping Cutter from signing his ELC. We are in no rush, get some seasoning for the long-run.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DirtyDangles</b></div><div>Successful or not, I am proving that you don't need to be a star to be a captain, which was your initial argument which you then moved the goal posts on.

Imagine thinking you know more about the Flyers room than all the reports that have come out praising Laughton. Woof.</div></div>

Well I think anyone who can operate a computer knows more than the buffoons we have running that organization most times. I also never said you need to be a star to be a captain. It is what makes the most sense and it is the most successful. The Flyers will probably name Laughton a captain. However, in my heart of hearts I can never see Scott Laughton raising a cup as the captain. So, that begs the question why? What are you doing? I am sick of the being "good" tear this whole organization down to the bone and rebuild it correctly like what should have happened in 2018.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>flyersarephilly</b></div><div>Coots would be another in the long line of quiet leaders. Laughton seems to be someone who would call out his teammates when he would need to and hold them accountable which would be huge. Not saying I wouldn't be shocked if Coots is named captain but with Torts' history the "best player" on the team likely won't be the captain. Also, the comparison to Richie comes from style of play both insanely hard working players, Richards toed the line more than Laughton but this was also a comparison made 10 years ago saying if laughton hit his ceiling he would be a Mike Richards type guy</div></div>

Fair enough. I am fine with the Flyers holding off on naming a Captain until we actually have one emerge.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>flyersarephilly</b></div><div>Every single competing team wants a player like Scott Laughton sure he might not fit the Flyers timeline and might be moved but this is not nearly enough to move on from laughton. Also, Laughton has been the only player all year with a letter, he's been called a leader by coaching staff and players and when drafted the comparison to Mike Richards was made by many fans at the time. He is 100% captain material and should be</div></div>

I understand he has been the only player with a letter all year. Coots will be back next year, we all hope and you cannot tell me if not for this injury he isn't the slam dunk Captain. If Laughton is named our captain that would be fitting. Just another thing this franchise will have messed up. He may be a leader and that's great, but he will only be here for at most 3 more seasons. The Mike Richards comparison is wild. Richards on the ice was miles ahead, but off the ice I have never heard a thing about Laughts like you did with Richards. It was always snowy in Philadelphia when Richie wore the "C". Jori Lehtera would've been one hell of a teammate for him just came about 5 years too late.

Thread: Hopefully Chucks last moves before his demise
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hammerwise</b></div><div>Alot of weak deals for PHI, JVR gets more than that (probably a 3rd in addition, Laughton gets WAY more, (probably a 3rd and one of Leaf top prospects), the retention on Hayes alone is worth another 1st.

Hayes salary isnt out of line with his production (look at what VAN got for expiring Horvat, who has similar production). Hayes, if dealt will have value in off season when cap constarints are lesser league wide. A late round 1st = Hayes and 3mil of retention NO WAY. And Seeler probably gets a 2023 4th right now.</div></div>

As Flyers fans. We know Chuck will probably just deal JVR for an underwhelming return and that is about it for this deadline. We are retooling lol! I have 0 faith in him being creative for better or worse.
