I just miss the days of high school when I could eat 2 hoagies for dinner and not gain a pound...

Yea, I was never able to do that. Come from a chunky family. Its in the genes. I've never been skinny, and never will be skinny.

I would rather Laughton be sent back to Juniors for 1 more year. With the cap situation, and center situation, and the fact he can't be sent to AHL if he struggles, I think it would be the best for the team.

I agree that the Cap situation is a factor that could force the Flyers to have to send Laughton back to Juniors. I think the Center situation is irrelevant. Laughton can play on the Wing. And he may or may not struggle. Some growing pains are to be expected.

How about an 8-game tryout to see how he does?

Now would be a good time for a joke about adjusting artificial sweeteners for inflation due to being on a stacked team or whatever, but it's not coming together. Sorry for the let down, guys.

I was always thin until college. I constantly played sports everyday. I have very little self control when it comes to food

The real problem is that the middle ground, the AHL, has been eliminated.

yeah that's annoying but with how many young forwards we already have i'm not going to be upset if he stays in the OHL

His insurance company asked him to drop a couple pounds so he cut off one of his fat fingers.

"cause he's old school...
