I hate this team
Foligno vs Laughton
this year NF 16 pts in 42 games, Laughs 17 pts in 37 games....edge Laughts
last year NF 31 pts in 67 games, Laughts 27 pts in 49 games....edge Laughts
2 yrs ago NF 35 pts in 73 games, Laughts 32 pts in 83 games....edge NF
Seems like the "type" of guy Dubas is going to target. Might come down to who is cheaper to get.

I don't understand how people in here don't see this trade as a home run! Nash will be back in a few weeks and is prob the best 4th line center around. He will be a rock on the 4th line, is only 31 and cheap, and solidified our C depth on that line. The guy is made for playoffs.
Plus we get room on the cap for more moves. It was f***ing brilliant.
Laughton is really impressive like every time I see him play. That is not mutch though!
But yes. Both are good players and worthy a quite a rental pay as Leafs should go all in.

Feels like Laughton will be cheaper and fills a bigger need. I like Foligno, the guy is a heart and soul kinda player, but his name alone will make a GM overpay even with Folignos best days behind him. The Leafs aren't really looking for a point producer, that would be a bonus, more looking for a 3rd line guy who can kill penalties, defend and throw his weight around.

We've been asking the same (late 1st plus something minor, we'll handle retention) for both Savard and Foligno for the last several days, and folks were saying it'd never happen for Savard. I wouldn't count on that "not as much" assessment.

If the price for Foligno is a first....I am offering the 1st for Laughton before I go down the road with Foligno. Without even thinking about it. If Foligno is discounted slightly then that may change things but if it is a premium then the choice is pretty obvious to me.
I'm not saying Toronto doesn't have the pieces to do it, just that I'm not sure they would offer it. This might be their best chance for a deep run, they won't have to play another powerhouse like they have in the first round in previous years until the semi-finals (can't really call it conference finals this year). It won't be easy, but unlike previous years they should be the favorite to make it that far no matter who they play in the first two rounds.

I am not convinced that Dubas is going to make any moves between now and the trade deadline. I think the team you see now is the team that Toronto will go into the playoffs with.

Yeah, to me Laughton is the better fit given that he's more mobile.
That being said, I think with Philly there should be potential for a different kind of deal; likely around Timothy Liljegren who could step into their lineup right away. Maybe the Leafs get some other piece in return as a result.
Liljegren is unlikely to get a real shot in Toronto, and would allow the Leafs to keep their 1st round pick this year, which should hold its value better than Liljegren playing in the AHL.

I like the Laughton proposal. However, I am not much of a fan of the Wood proposal. Although wood, is a great 3rd liner who has immaculate speed and can score. I don't think that is the top of player we would throw a first at.
With these two deals in place the leafs would only have a
2021 5th, and a 2021 6th. Not necessarily ideal...

yeah i realize it is all but punting the 2021 draft...
thats what i feel like it would take to get Wood for 2 years at just over $1 million, with RFA status afterwards. Similar to the Kapanen deal. 1st and a good prospect for a cheap middle 6 young winger, on a great contract with RFA status.

The 2021 draft should not be priority for a couple reasons first off no one has been able to scout so unless you are getting Owen Power and we aren't nobody has a clue.
Second as of this post they have the most points in the NHL and at worst will finish the night #2 it's go for it time, it's time to make the push draft picks aren't important in 2021
A 1st for Miles wood? I'm all for trading our 1st but I'm not sure he's the guy

If Andersen is LTIR until playoffs - I think we have a good enough cushion and Hutch is solid enough to take a few starts
