Chychrun to Caps. All these teams are impoving.

Even Chicago should be better then the Flyers this year.

They need to look at 2025 and 2026. Move the vets and try to be in the hunt for top picks

Yes, Yes, Yes!

Jensen and a 3rd? Ottawa gave up a 1st and 2nd to get him.

Plus the DeBrincat mess, Ottawa may be worse than the Flyers when getting value back compared to what they paid.

Buffalo has been very quiet. They need to make the playoffs or Adams is gone I believe. That could be a nice spot for Konecny or Laughton. With Skinner gone they could use some offense.

I actually like what Washington is doing, hopefully they give the Rangers and Devils a run for the division. Plus they still have Leonard, Cristall, Parascak and Hutson in the pipeline.

Maybe they will be a good team to deal with at the TDL.

I'm happy to see any indication whatsoever that a team has moved ahead of the Flyers.

All teams around and below the Flyers trying to get better. The path is so clear to announce their entry into the Hagens sweepstakes. Heck, teams are doing such bad deals- Flyers got plenty of good options to sell for above mkt prices. Please do not screw up this opportunity

Laughton for Östlund during the season


That gets us a nice 2C for the future.

If the season starts and TK (unsigned) and Laughton are still on the team I am going to cringe every time they get hit or block a shot. Last thing needed is an injury for either.

Monahan to CLB. I need help with this move by Waddell.

Only team that is clearly worse than the Flyers I see so far...Calgary.

Is very interesting. Right now they are 100m on the cap, so I guess the plan is to have Backstrom and Oshie on LTIR in their final seasons.

Yep.

Chicago brought in Bertuzzi, Teravainnen and Maroon.

Flyers should be moving vets and they can be right in that top 5 area for the draft in 2025 and 2026.

Wow! Nashville now Cup favorites? Amazing what they have accomplished. Some pretty nice prospects in the cupboard too.

How long can we be on Laughton trade watch for? He's not even worth that much anymore.

Move vets? They owe it to these guys not to move them…..

Holy crap I knew they were over the cap, but JFC

I know Backstrom is basically done, that's 9m on LTIR. Maybe Oshie will be a Vegas LTIR.

DeBrusk signs in VAN. Flyers have all the leverage in TK negotations. I want him moved, but the winger mkt has been absolutely brutal for TK.

Amazing they can afford all those guys with Joahnsen's $4m retained salary on the books, and $7.55m in buyouts for Duchene and Turris.

$3 mil for the next two years. I don’t know why folks are so worked up about moving him?

I disagree. I think every playoff team would trade for him instantly, I personally think the Flyers aren't willing to trade him unless it's an obscene amount. He would be a perfect fit for playoff hockey and could fill in just about anywhere. If the Flyers were an actual playoff team I wouldn't even listen to offers, but he plays for a crappy Flyers team so he suuuucks.

Laughton had his worst defensive season in many years. He's not perfect for playoff hockey.

Value, value and value. He would absolutely be a top TDL deal for a team, especially if he was set to become a UFA.

Everyone sucks on losing teams.

P.S. Panthers traded a 5th AND a prospect for Kyle (frank)ing Okposo...no one gets to say Laughton would have no value to a playoff team.
