<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>hussbag</b></div><div>Just me but I like Kleven on that 3rd pair with JBD or Hamonic over Brannstrom, feel Brann is redundant with our abundance LHD puck movers and he doesn't inspire confidence as a depth option in the playoffs. He's a nice player but given his expected usage behind better players I don't see him popping anymore than he has and value is as high as it will be now, imo.

Laughton is also the kind of guy you want in the playoffs, no doubt G would vouch for him and I really think he rounds out our lineup at a nice cap hit. Not many better options out there for 3mil. Joseph should provide a bit more offense in the mid 6 but after last year the jury is out.

I just think this is the move now that we have an extra (late) first, DJ sticking around and Laughton being exactly his kind of guy. Think you are underrating him, he was solid on a terrible Philly team.</div></div>

People underestimate how bad the Flyers have been the last 2-3 years and Laughton still showed up every game and absolutely grinded. I don’t want to lose him unless it’s a crazy big offer like this, there is a reason Torts thought he was the only one to deserve to wear a letter last year.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Xspyrit</b></div><div>lol I wouldn't trade Brannstrom for Laughton who is suddenly quite overrated for some reason. The guy turns 30 y/o soon. He's a bit better than Joseph offensively but worse defensively

Look at his TOI, He's an average bottom-6 forward that got inflated stats because of usage on a terrible team. He played 18:17 per game last season, this is Tkachuk ice-time

Out of 458 forwards who played at least 200 ES minutes, Laughton ranks 320th in Pts/60... He's actually below average. You know who has a similar Pts/60? Colin White than the Sens bought out a year ago...

On the other side, look at Brannstrom metrics, he's a young 2-way D-man who is already excellent defensively and in transition. If he starts putting more points, his value is going to skyrocket

If Dorion does this, I'll definitely HUNT him down. Tired to see him damage our team. I mean this is definitely MORE than what DeBrincat returned

Scott freaking Laugton? Give me a ****ing break</div></div>

I think everyone can agree that GMs seem to over rate Laughton but GMs set the market and make bad trades all of the time lol. Flyers turned down multiple offers of 2023 1sts for Laughton and supposedly a 1st and 2nd from the Blues. If that’s the case then they really don’t want to move Laughton unless something blows them away. If you want Laughton you have to blow them away, this would do that
