Surprisingly, Homer says Leighton is an option as a backup. #Flyers

wow that's just quality analysis there Sam... Gene Hart must be rolling in his grave.

Holmgren compared Laughton to Adam Henrique, hence they think he was best available player at that point while teams that see a future John Madden (still quite valuable) had others higher on their list. Player himself said he plays in Mike Richards mold.

If the #Pens really just landed Keith Yandle as some are speculating, Homer's "something cooking" better start with a W and end in "eber"

seriously people need to calm down. It's a draft pick, not going to make or break the team here.

I don't think anyone's panicking. we see how thin they are in the org on d and in goal, so we'd like to stock up for a change.

Pens lost Jordan Staal tonight, anyone claiming they had some incredible evening is clearly is delusional.

I agree that some depth needs to be acquired in those areas I'm sure they have something planned to meet those needs. No one's actually panicked but there's been some melodramatic reactions.

That actually makes me feel better considering the source.
