    He did absolutely nothing that warranted surrendering a 1st round draft pick.

    He’s the type of player you can sign as a UFA on July 16th at a bargain rate.

    Not going to make excuses here as Tre really wanted him. Like he’s not going to pot you 27 goals each year but will be sound defensely.
    He’ll that in total points.
    I just like what Laughton.

    While Marchand went for a conditional 2nd round pick.

    that’s your opinion which means NOTHING. I think he will do fine.
    Who says he’s a 1 year rental. Only you who says that.

    No, that’s the facts. He was acquiring to be a 3rd line center. Ended up on the 4th line center. Then 4th line LW.

    He did nothing in the regular season and scored, I repeat, ZERO GOALS in 13 playoff games. ZERO.

    He’s only here because the Flyers retained salary. If he gets an extension, you think he’s going to play for 1 million again? Only way he does that is if he indeed sucks again.

    Objective facts are that he sucked.

    No, he’s dogshit. He’s another Kampf from Oakville. Literally 0 playoff goals for a 1st round pick and a 1 year rental.

    lol jfc constant ranty guy cant help himself
    who fucking cares about all that. point being they didnt have to reply on good drafting to win.

    Who cares about the actual facts when you can bullshit yourself into believing things that aren’t really true. Tracks coming from you. No need to reply on the facts.

    Laughton is NOT dog poop.
    Only Leafs haters and Flyers fans would say that.

    Out of Floridas last 10 drafts (63 picks) they have 1 player on the team that had any impact on the cup wins. Lundell thats 2015-2024

    Wrong again, as you were with the Leafs 1st round record the past 10-12 years.

    The problem you have is you absolutely fail to see how Florida has elite asset management skills. When they give something up, they get fair (or greater) value in return. They find free stars all the time.

    To start, they used 13th overall, Spencer Knight, to acquire Seth Jones. Eetu Luostarinen was acquired by trading their 3rd round pick of Trocheck. Good drafting turned into good trades. Just like they got Tkachuk for Huberdeau.

    Need more examples? Great. There are plenty more.

    Acquired Sam Reinthart for peanuts; 7th round pick Devon Levi and a 1st. Notice how when the Leafs trade a prospect and a 1st round pick they get dog shit like Laughton in return? Or a rental that plays 20 games? Not Florida.

    Same thing they did to acquire Sam Bennett; Emil Heineman, 2nd round pick + another 2nd round pick. Again, when the Leafs throw away 2nd round picks, they get rentals, they didn’t get Bennett.

    Marchand? Conditional 2nd round pick. Not even a fucking 1st.

    Carter Verhaeghe? Free. Gustav Forsling? Free.

    Even their “mistakes” of signing a goalie to a 10 million dollar contract turned out to not be a mistake, unlike when the Leafs did it with Tavares.

    When the Leafs can hit that many home runs in trades, waiver wire and UFA signings, then they can afford to absolutely suck balls at drafting. Unfortunately, the Leafs absolutely suck at all three.

    i will watch to see Bettman booed and hear about all the trades that dont happen

    It’s not centralized this year – there won’t be anyone to boo Bettman.
