Philly fans are trying to say Laughton is a 4C plug lol.
- Arctic_AARDVARK


Right now he is a 3/4 line guy who plays his heart out. Good player, awesome person and was really the leader in the dressing room. You guys got a good player but he is NOT a top 6 player. Hope he wins a cup...

It's kind of important to get I think. Laughton is a nice get but they also needed d depth

He's just a rental. Murphy has one more year left.

Really I was more answering the question as to whether Donato could take off in his career like Hagel did. He basically can't at this point.

Murphy - I would love to get.

The thing is that Hagel was 23, Jeannot was 25.

Donato is 28 and he likely is never going to play as well as he is right now. Before this year he had a career high of 16 goals and 31 points. This year he has 23 goals and 46 points. I'd be shocked if he were able to maintain this level for more than one more year before regressing back into the 25 point range.

- Monkeypunk

That's a fair point. Would you take him as a rental or just simply not worth it? Personally, I think I'd roll the dice as a rental but I would need to see a lot for any decent extension.

I guess the question is, would Donato be more like Hagel or Jeannot after a trade? I'd hope more like Hagel but he very well could just completely dry up on a good team.

A little friendly advice, if you’re going to post a trade proposal while Fakesie is in here, you have to be prepared for some strong negativity. He’s also not going to explain his reasoning, just that it was a dumb trade.

That's fine. They got him to be their 3rd line centre.

Forget Donato. Move Domi and Timmins and you don’t need to retain

He's a 3C, plays a heavy game, has good wheels, and can kill some penalties.

Some ragging on him per his defensive game, but he's got to be better than Domi.

Haha thank you for the heads up. That's fine though. I don't mind any pushback positive or negative. Everyone's got different opinions on player/asset values. I just like seeing everyone's perspectives.

Do you think Domi is movable? With his current play, I feel like you might pay more in moving Domi than the cost of retaining. Maybe not quite, but Domi's value is probably at its lowest point all time.

They made some good moves, but they didn't address their issues on D and in goal at all.
