At this point I'm going to be pissed if he doesn't move both of them. I don't care if he doesn't get those prices he's asking for. If he gets anything close to those prices he should pull the trigger. The asks are absolutely absurd for guys that caliber.
My feelings exactly. Seems like he's trying to play the hold out as long as possible game, which is gonna bite him in the ass.

Laughton is exactly the type of player to help a team over a long playoff run. These other GMs generally "know hockey" so PAY UP!

I think as long as Washington, Winnipeg, and Toronto haven't made moves we're in OK shape. Those seem to be the 3 most likely destinations.

I feel like if Jake Walman got San Jose a 1st round pick, we should definitely be able to get a 1st rounder+ for Risto.

Dreger says the Flyers ask for Risto is a 1st, a prospect, and a player. Laughton price is "a haul".

Not going to get a better market than having the top RHD and top C on the block on deadline day. Get it done Danny.

I mean, this is what you do. Say you're not dealing anyone, then ask for the moon when you do enter trade talks.

The right play is trading what you can to acquire assets while technically weakening the team to ensure a better pick.
If they play this right and get 1st rounders and/or a good prospect for Risto and Laughts each, I'm ok with that.

If they don't make a trade, then I have questions.

Berube is Toronto's coach we should be able to work with them.

I’m visiting in the Detroit area (accepting all condolences). Local sports talk are ready to run Yzerman out of town.

Beauvillier to the Caps for a 2nd round pick. Wonder if Washington is hesitant to move a first in the chase of a cinderella season.

If it were me, I'd be all in for the Caps. Ride the wave of Ov's last ride and do what you can. Not that I am biased and want them to send all their picks to the Flyers or anything.

Kuzmenko deal is fine. More than I thought they’d get.

Getting anxious on the Risto/Laughton front.

They'll keep Laughton and go on a win streak because the locker room is so happy he's still here.
