Gotta give props to Luke Scheen for finding a way to stay in the league and be productive. Guy looked absolutely cooked when we had him how many years ago now.

Props to Dubas for flipping him for a 2 and a 4

Now that Rantanen is done TK to the Canes would be amazing.
- mickel25

Funny I thought the same thing…lol….

Stank and 2 1sts... interested to see if Carolina will immediately turn around and trade those picks away for more help.
- Tomahawk

Yeah, maybe Boeser? Boeser, Stankoven and a first for Rantanen looks a little better. Especially if Boeser extends.

Man if I am Briere I call Carolina and office Konecny for one of the Dallas First rounders and in a package

Would have if the Flyers caved. They never were going to. It’s moot.
- hereticpride

Why would they have not “caved?” Because they suck is why. Very mature on their part

Glad this trade was finally made. Danny got a 1st round pick, despite most people saying it would never happen. Retaining 50% of Laughton's salary sucks, but his low contract of $3 million makes it palatable. Let's see if the Russian kid actually turns into an NHL player? The next question is what does Danny do with Risto???

Better is a very sever stretch. All those players are mediocre. Laughtons played with some decent talent in PHI. He's a 40 point ceiling guy.

Phillys entire team is so mid that none of those players minus Konecny would play in Torontos top 6

So, if you wanna brag about your bottom 6 being better than ours, have at it.

Do you think RR is moved?

Two solid deals by Danny. Well done.

- Thors-Hammer

a late first rounder.

In Toronto he’ll be playing with better players than in Philly.

McMann, Domi, Jarnkrok, Robertson, Pacioretty, Holmberg etc…

We’ll happily take him, thanks.
- Arctic_AARDVARK

Yea they are much better players. Laughton scores off the rush. Don’t expect any half ice structured offense from him

We just want some physicality in the bottom 6. Guys who don’t avoid scrums.

Domi Laughton Pacioretty

That might be a pretty annoying line to play against.

He will look much better in TOR. That said it was a no brainer, even with the conditions and retention

Do you think RR is moved?
- WhiskeyMan

Not a chance in he’ll

S’all good.

I’ve taken a few sips of the blue kool-aid in my time.

How about Risto for Evander Kane plus....Makes a lot of sense for the Flyers.

Calm down. lol. You trying to break poor Danny boy. He’s done his absolute best best work of his career today

Laughton is better on the wing in my opinion.

Not for what Dreger says the ask is.

No one is trying to brag but you, You act like your bottom 6 is something special. Robertson sucks and is often scratched, Patches is made of glass and in a retirement home, Holmberg sucks. Mcmann is medioce, Jarnkrok cant stay healthy either.

Laughton is a 3rd line player and you are getting the same 3rd line player. Laughtons played with Brink, Michkov, Kuz who was traded today, Foerster, Farabee who suck this season was a lot better last season

The whole reason Laughton was added was because Leafs bottom 6 is weak.

- TobyFlenderson

Fwiw I think Philly did alright in this trade.

If Grebenkin can make the jump and get something cooking with Michkov, and that late first becomes an NHL regular, it’s be nice for you guys.

Leafs gotta try to win now, Philly is either “re-tooling” or hoping to catch lightning in a bottle next year. If Michkov becomes that centrepiece he potentially could, then you got something there.

Not for what Dreger says the ask is.

And especially because the Flyers can't retain anything on his contract.

How about Risto for Evander Kane plus....Makes a lot of sense for the Flyers.
- mickel25

EDM I dont think has to make this move. He appears like he will be out Rest of Season. He hasnt done b2b on ice days yet. Doesnt appear close.

Laughton is better on the wing in my opinion.
- mickel25

So is Domi. Maybe between the both of them one guy can assert himself at the C. Both can win face-offs which is nice to have.
