Seravalli: Flyers turn down 1st and 2nd for Laughton

[Curufinwe]

25th + 29th + Scandella for Laughton.

 

[FlyguyOX]

Probably wants the jeannot return

Makes sense. Laughton has term, position versatility, intangibles, and is better than Jeannot.

 

[Canucks LB]

People badly overrate picks.
His contract is great, extremely late 1st and 2nd is not as good of an offer as it sounds

 

[BigDaddyLurch]

<insert bold strategy cotton.gif>

...OK...

 

[Bounces R Way]

Laughton is a lot better than this board gives him credit for. A late first even in this draft and a future 2nd isn't really that great of an offer for a cheap versatile player with some term.

 

[PJJJP]

25th + 29th + Scandella for Laughton.

Makes no sense for the blues. Everything that our GM recently said in an interview doesn't really support us trading for Laughton. His contract is good but the blues are looking for players 26 and younger apparently which Laughton is not. Plus our defense sucks so trading our 2 late firsts for a 3C doesn't make sense

 

[Sebastien]

Some of these rumors are bs sold by the team to the reporters to make it sound like player has more interest than he really does

 

[Nocashstyle]

That might make a little more sense if Laughton was about 5 years younger, but for a team that is actively trying to be bad for a few years, seems like passing up on good value to keep a player who’s not going to be a core piece when they’re competitive.

 

[Jared Dunn]

What if the 1st was say 31st overall and the 2nd 63tf? Would you do that deal? We do not know the placements of the picks

I mean we kinda do because it sounds specifically like they're talking about St. Louis

 

[The Crypto Guy]

They are crazy to turn that down during a rebuild.

A couple years ago I remember a reporter saying that Adams was telling teams if they didn’t have a top 20 pick in the draft they were out on Ristolainen. It sounded completely insane. He was traded for the 14th (really 13th) pick and a 2nd later that day.

It happens.

Briere doesn’t turn it down if he doesn’t know there is better on the table

 

[Petes2424]

IF this is true, it goes down as inexperienced manager growing pains, and Briere is currently trying to figure out why they just threw him out of the “GM Group Text.” Another manager will explain it to him, and they’ll let him back in after the draft.

That 2nd is the #39th pick in this year's draft.

[King In The North]

What’s Lindholm costing then, three 1sts?

Hell, I hope so

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Dude has 3 years left at 3 mill per.

That's some solid price for very good bottom 6 player who can slide up, too if need be.

 

[Gabrielor]

Carter Hart's value must be like 4 1sts.

 

[CamPopplestone]

Seravalli is talking out of his ass like usual here. No way Briere turns down a 1st for Laughton given what he got for Provolov. This screams BS thrown at the wall to get clicks to me

 

[Djp]

Reported on the DFO Rundown podcast today by Seravelli.

Said Armstrong really liked him at the Worlds and made the offer of 25th or 29th and a future 2nd which Briere turned down.

He does not have that kind of value. Probably in pool Ed retaining.

Laughton is much cheaper than Provorov, and has an extra year of term. That's makes him more attractive for a lot of teams.

 

[Smif]

Seravelli seems to be slinging a lot of reaches lately.

 

[Mr Kot]

Didn't realize he was valued low by lots of people. He's pretty good for his role and a good contract. That's worth a good amount.

 

[Accelleratii]

Driving up his price. Laughton is the type every contender wants for a run and Flyers have no reason to trade him. Come deadline they could possibly get a haul. He's signed for a few more years and they're just now going into a rebuild so there's no rush to do it; no need to trade unless it's for overpayment.

 

[thusk]

They traded provorov pratically for the same price ( if considerating value of cap dump) but not enough for laughton.... mmm not sure i really understand whats going on

That's interesting. Obviously trading for Laughton makes no sense for a team that isn't really planning on making the playoffs for 2 or 3 years.

Cap hits matter a lot in a flat cap league. It's pretty obvious, tbh.

A top 3 d in Provorov at 4,75 of cap hit or a middle 6 player at 3M... not sure cap hit its really a good reason lol
