Legend of Laughton continues.

Freidman podcast.

Laughton- Big price. not sure if they are serious. Said got a 1st last year (turned it down obviously). Feels if they do trade him they want to do right by him and trade him to a place he is comfortable with. Very well liked. Laughton has told the Flyers he doesn't want to leave.

Risto - Torts publicly and privately has let it be known very bluntly he doesn't want to trade him. Friedman said all of a sudden Phila has bunch of Defenseman.

York - talked to him this year about an extension. Didn't go anywhere.

Said the Rangers setting up for something big. Philly is doing the same thing. Want to make an add that has significant impact for them. Have cap space. They are not saving it they want to use it. Still building but want to take a swing.

Goalies still uncertain.

Since Sniders death this team has become a Mickey Mouse organization

Morgan frost 3 points and a -4 in 10 Calgary games

Farabee 1 point and -3 in 10 games

Calgary hasn’t scored more than 3 goals in any of these games.

HAHAHA.

Flyers- want to do right for a guy that really is best attribute seems to be his culture he brings.


Colorado - Trades away one of their top players because they couldn't get a deal done because they need to do what is best for THEM.

Losing culture at that.

When a player is traded I do not wish them well or hope they are bad. With Laughton I may have to make an exception.

I guess I am wired different. I never really get attached to players. I like some guys but really I want my team to win. However you need to get there that is what I want.

I guess in the end, this organization is going to rely on using draft picks to acquire upgrades on the roster. All I read is how integral or need to find out how much more a player can develop with this roster. Apparently, all of these players on the roster are basically irreplaceable and can only be pushed out by prospects over time. I guess Andrae or Grans are not NHL regulars because for 2 years they have not been able to sustain on the main roster. I find Kurz to quite the mouthpiece for the organization- maybe I'm missing something.
- Trox88

Every journalist around the Flyers are mouth pieces for the organization at this point just aimed at a different subset of fans. Kurz is used to placate the more passive fans and sneer at that online variety. San filipo and Anthony DiMarco are used to the keep the diehards engaged with bogus trade rumors. O’Connor is somewhere in the middle. All of these guys just write what they are told and except for DiMarco do their best to put down any criticism of the new management team.

Yeah, they got a lot of life out of TOR really liking Laughton and watch out for Minten. New Era of Orange appears to be a well orchestrated attempt to sell a rainbow with a pot of gold at the end. Sure, the team needs elite talent, but look at all the supporting talent already on the roster. Our prospects outside of Michkov are not viewed as elite, but give them time. Frost and Farabee were traded, certainly the rest of the roster cannot be touched. Due to culture cannot tank, so wherever this team ends in the standings is the right way to do things. Interesting how that worked out after SJ jumped them to draft Sam D$ckinson. Not a slight on Luchanko, pretty obvious Briere wanted someone different with his 1st rd pick.

That’s the biggest issue for me: the Flyers refuse to trade anything of value. I don’t really care if they move Laughton or Ristolainen. The Flyers will only be receiving at best late 1st rd draft picks. Those are better than nothing but if they truly want to make a contender they are going to have to move a very valuable asset in their prime not 30 year olds. This team has refused to do it since Holmgren.

I'm preparing myself for another disappointing deadline, and being told by Jones and Briere that they have to get this right and as a fan to be patient. So somehow I have to convince myself that picking 12th in a weak draft is a good thing. Sigh ...

Exactly, because MJL would have to come on here and say he was wrong, and worse admit I was right, and that is not happening. Come on MJL, be a man and face the music!

I don't understand this Minten rumour. He is at best a 3rd line center, don't the Flyers have enough of these? According to Briere, he has to be blown away to trade Laughts, so I expect Minten will not be close to enough to get the golden cow.

Totally agree.

The one move I would absolutely do is move Konecny before his extension and no trade protections kick in. I would have moved him prior to even signing the extension. I still think you can move him even with the extension as some teams might like that cost certainty

- J35Bacher

This is spot on.

Rangers- trade their captain who had a NTC to the Ducks.

I'll give G credit, at least he wanted to be moved to a contender to try and win a Cup. Guys who are on the roster now and have been here for years back to the bubble seem to content and happy.

I mean he is only 20. I wouldn't be against him as a return. I actually like Nikita Grebenkin. I don't think they would move Cowen in a deal for Laughton.

danny and Keith will tell you that it is all part of the master plan and the plan is working evenbetter than planned and you will buy it hook line and sinker

That has passed with his NMC but Tippett doesn’t have one. Forester and York could be moved freely.

If the team wants to rebuild on the fly that’s fine but they are going to have to take chances with trades and it doesn’t seem Briere has it in him. He hasn’t even done a good job of picking up low hanging reclamation projects like Washington has. I don’t see anything that he does well as a GM except be patient.

This site is a lot more civil without MJL. Everybody is entitled to their opinions, but only keyboard warriors call people names and make condescending remarks. Don't post anything online that you wouldn't say face to face to somebody, but that's just my opinion.

In regards to Laughton. Lot's of people are talking about a 1st or 2nd round pick for him, which seems unlikely at this time. Another site mentioned getting a high prospect from another team that could help the Flyers in a couple years when they hopefully become a playoff contender again. Any opinions on that idea?

This is no shot at any group of people so no one don't take it that way but i fee Scott Laughton is known more for everything off the ice(nice guy, culture, LGBTQ stuff) and not really what he does on it.

The PLD and Chychryn trades worked out pretty well. Kurz is already placing the narrative Pettersson sucks and should be avoided. He acknowledges they need a #1 center, but in the trade market potential #1 centers only become available some type of an issue. Waiting to draft a #1 center thru the draft is a strategy, but how many #1 centers get drafted outside the top 10? Pretty sure not many.

WRT your first paragraph, completely agree. There is never any need for name calling or any of that. Drives me insane seeing it all the time here. Stick to discussing hockey, relaying your opinion and realize not everyone will share your take which is fine.

If a 1st seems unlikely don't you think a high end prospect is also unlikely?

I wonder if they explored it whether or not the return was underwhelming? He's clearly a good player and good enough to make the Canada 4 nations roster, but what would you get? Would it be enough to take a low return just to have the cap and contract off the roster?

The Flyers need to be smartly aggressive. Honestly a deal of something like Konecny to VAN for Pettersson would make sense in some trade package. Keeps VAN competitive and he is cheaper then Pettersson. Flyers get a center that Vancouver seems to have soured on.

Getting a prospect for Laughton is fine by me. To this point, the highest value asset Briere has used to improve the roster is a former #5 overall pick for Jamie Drysdale. This is no shot at Drysdale, but the trade only happened because Briere was forced by Gauthier to make it happen. Agreed with others on Risto and Laughton. Yes, they should be traded, but to really remodel the roster Briere must take a chance and move assets that seems to be publically touted as untouchable. Hopefully, it is posturing.
