I am also ok with letting Laughton go. He can’t finish for shit. It’s getting annoying at this point.

I believe it was probably more out of respect for the player. He has been waived constantly the last two/three weeks and I believe he is on a conditioning stint with the phantoms. He is getting paid NHL salary. So I believe Fletcher didn’t want to expose him yet again and see someone claim him in another city.So Canucks acquired Mazanec because we didnt place McKenna on waivers??? Seriously, Chuck? What did you for wait with that??

And it's bad reason for Flyers. We are not in position when we can be friends with players... With NO ONE. We just need to make moves who can help our organization.I believe it was probably more out of respect for the player.

I like this sentiment, but would include Laughton as well. There's always some wonky causation=/=correlation (bs alert) about a teams own draft picks, especially 1st rounders, playing either on the team, or the bottom 6. Laughton adds to that count, as marginally wonky as it may seem.I’m ready to move on from Raffl after this season.

Couturier
Voracek

That’s the forwards I would bring back next year. Fill in the gaps elsewhere where they see to fit. Find another higher end player this summer whether it be through free agency or trade.
Laughton is another guy I would hang on to. You hit the nail on the head in terms of what he does. Getting a second rounder for him doesn't really do anything. In three years hopefully that second rounder is ready to play on the fourth line. Laughton is already there. Moving him as part of a package for an upgrade? That makes sense. Moving him for middling picks or prospects is silly.What would Laughton get in a trade? I do think he is a solid wing on the 4th line.

2nd rounder probably.
Well he really isn’t in the long term plans and we should wait until the other goalies absolutely prove they are healthy before making any roster decisions. Also it’s not like this team is up against the cap so they have all the time in the world to carry an extra player for now.And it's bad reason for Flyers.

Really? We have 23 man roster again. And we will need space for Morin, Elliott maybe...Well he really isn’t in the long term plans and we should wait until the other goalies absolutely prove they are healthy before making any roster decisions.

I was going to post about Duchene not being a good locker room presence,this came from an NHL player himself , he never elabrorated about what. Dougie Ham is supposed to be one weird dude off ice as well . We don't need any locker room distractions thanks .I've heard people say Duschene is like a bad egg or something and causes problems? Is that accurate or am I imagining things?
Yea again that’s why I said when the time comes. We don’t need that spot exactly right now at this moment. So it’s not hurting our hockey team. Once they are ready to compete then a decision should be made.Really? We have 23 man roster again. And we will need space for Morin, Elliott maybe...
I'd prefer to keep Laughton. He does what you want him to do which is really be a 4th line reliable guy/fill in on 3rd if need be. If you can keep him cheap. why not do it?
Now if he wants 2 mill or above, then he can leave gladly.

Who cares lol let her bitch, its not like hes not making good moneyafraid of twitter backlash from his wife.
If Morin doesn't start his assignment this week I'm going to be p*****!They would need to waive McKenna to put Elliott on the roster, yeah.
Morin surely won't come off IR till after the deadline now. He'll probably start his LTI conditioning stint next week after Elliott's is done.
I was thinking about that last night while watching the game. It reminds me of the just concluded basketball TDL, and how the Sixers new acquisitions are still out here without their stuff from LA, going to random stores to buy socks and toothbrushes (who travels without a toothbrush?).I have a feeling that Simmonds is being traded as I type this....
