Not that he's available, but that the Leafs have been scouting him and like him a lot. Likely nothing

And I wouldn't either. But if E.F. 31 thoughts are correct Laughton's value is on the rise and he is a player with an easily fitable salary especially if Flyers retain.
4th best goal differential, 9th in goals against, while having the 11th ranked SV%. I have absolutely no idea why Leaf fans want to mess with the best defense we've had since I've been alive just because they want something to happen. If anything acquire a goalie that can split starts with Campbell and add a skilled physical bottom 6 forward player that can do dirty work in the playoffs so its not all on Hyman and Simmonds. That's how you improve the Leafs not with a 5/6 dman add.

Do they want a rental or a long term?
Mantha for Sandin and a 1st is interesting. Keep in mind that’s gonna be a late 1st.

I don’t really understand the fear of qualifiers. If a player isn't worth it you work out a deal under it. Most players are not going to agree to a one year qualifier if they can sign a longer term deal for less AAV but more security.

What's the positional prospect need for the Kings? D (more so left side than right)? I'm not sure there' much of a fit there in terms of one teams needs and another teams surplus.
Iafallo alone just isn't enough to get any of their top prospects.
Mikko Kokkonen is a solid left shot D prospect, although he isn't a puck moving defenseman that I assume they'd be after, he's very much a defensive defenseman. Kral is a left shot puck moving d prospect but lower quality, don't think he + a 2nd would even be enough, although I'd be happily surprised if it was.
I'd prefer Kokkonen + 3rd, but Kokkonen + 2nd is still fair I'd think; If there's no fit though then there's really no point.
They have some other decent B forward prospects like SDA, Hallander, Abruzzese, Hirvonen, Miettinen as well but isn't LA already loaded with those? Most of those forwards ^ are worth a little more or less than a late 2nd I'd think.

I wouldn't burn down the house if it was Hoffman, but if I were to put a wishlist together I don't think he cracks the top ten, definitely not top 5

I doubt it's a long term piece unless the player really fits. This is too expensive for my blood but there could be others with different opinions.

Robertson, Sandin and Amirov if you want 3mil for 3 years on a great young top six winger who can score 30.

NYI just traded a 1st for both Zajac and Palmieri. Iafollo should not be getting a 1st.

well if their top prospects are on the table I would assume more than a 4th liner would be in chatsI don't understand the title lol. They're in for the best forward they can get? What if that best forward they can get is a 4th liner lol. Just found it funny

30 goals on the leafs isnt worth 3 ELC contracts that are likely to contribute during the years where the cap doesn't rise. I mean we are talking about 2 likely top 6 wingers and a likely top 4 dman all at or under the age of 21. Just my opinion given how close to the cap they are.

Right so it makes no sense for the Leafs. There has to be a fit for the value of the player and the contract. If they found a way to add a legit first liner, then yeah they would likely at least move 1 of those pieces, maybe 2 in a blockbuster. But he is not a blockbuster player.

If you guys want a forward, Tanner Pearson's available (North division so no quarantine, and will return from injury in a couple of weeks => keep in mind Palmieri is also injured too but got traded to NYI).
Jordie Benn is all yours for a 4th. Plays on both sides of the ice and is not on the Covid list.
