[Darren Dreger] The Center market is relatively thin. Hence, the @NHLFlyers are taking calls on Scott Laughton. They’re not eager to trade him but Danny Briere is gauging the interest.

Center market is thin. Laughton is the type of player that GMs love for the playoffs. Briere needs to take the opportunity to fetch an overpay for an aging depth forward who looks to be on the decline. It’s Rebuild 101.
What a GM is supposed to be doing.
Sure Laughts is an amazing Flyer a great player but I don’t see him in the long term plan at all.
Get all we can for him if there’s interest!
Are we getting buyers remorse for not trading Laughton for a 1st and 2nd as was reported last year?
I would really hate to see him go. A terrific homegrown leader of this team. However, I’m on board with the rebuild, and you listen on all players. You have a chance to pull a few more first round picks with these moves, and we will be foolish not to do it. I’m not sure if Hart’s contract will get voided, but if it is, we would get more cap relief and could take on some salary in order to facilitate these deals.
I’m such a softy for Laughton. I would just ask him, at this point do you want to chase a cup or retire a Flyer, and let him decide. This is the one and only reason I’m not a NHL GM
Love Laughts both on and off the ice (he and JVR stand for things I think are important), and I’d hate to lose him, but I trust Danny can fetch a good return.
I heard a team offered the Flyers five 1sts and three 2nds for Laughton…
Every time I watch a game him and Atkinson take really dumb penalties. Wouldn’t be mad to see him go
I’m pretty sure Danny is gauging interest on a lot of players this week. The Lindholm trade speaks good for the rental market right now. He’s having a down year and got a very nice return. I wouldn’t be surprised if now that the big piece of the season is moved, dominoes start falling.
I dunno if there was truth to Danny being offered a first for Laughts in the offseason, but you’d have to imagine if that offer came in now, they’d be all over it. Either way, unless someone does offer an overpay like that, I don’t see Briere moving many pieces before the deadline week. Though I fully expect him to move several.
Bring home Zegras
c ya
Like him as a player but if he has value trade him. Would be nice to lock Frost into his old role (3C).
Really wish Fletcher traded him before extending him, since he was younger and probably had more value as an expiring. Fletcher loved to give out extensions instead of making trades.
tipps and Drysdale, maybe tk, should be our only untouchables completely. Obviously you need to ice a team so they aren’t going to trade the flyers organization
but I do NOT want Laughton here after TDL if we are committed to a rebuild, goodbye Laughton, Goodbye seeler and walker, hopefully Staal.
outside of that who can we really trade unless we start picking out young guys to send off? that would kinda defeat the purpose
Atkinson if he waives
Telling everyone you want to keep him keeps his value high. Also, we are very thin at center ourselves
Laughton in my opinion has always been a bright spot on this team over the last few years. Would be sad to see him go, but everyone has a price. Cannot believe I just typed that 😞
