No Excuses No Limits! The mother fucking goddamn season thread

[hockeylover]

It's fine. I'd almost always rather swing bigger but we'll see how it goes.

 

[Artnes]

That makes it easier to swallow

Laughton is right in line with the same sort of player a Shanahan front office has thought his team needed at the deadline. Right there with Foligno and ROR.

Has not once looked to add scoring, and is real big on character/toughness/derp.

Except Foligno and ROR were way better and could score.

 

[Preston]

It takes the team out of the running when impact players come up when we keep using them stupidly

Laughton at 1.5m takes them out of the running for impact players? Not sure

 

[MindzEye]

yeah I'm fine with that price tbh.

Laughton is a good player. Consistent 15/40 type offense with no real PP time.

Is he a centre though?

Except Foligno and ROR were way better and could score.

Big Dick Nick looked pretty busted when he got here, and regardless that wasnt the reason they were brought in.

They just blew their load for a 3LC thats mostly a W

Donato would have been better IMO

The 1st. Teams like those when they trade good players away

Was Foligno actually better at the time?

You're not getting an impact players for just a 1st tho. I mean I'd love Rantanen but I'm not sure Leafs could beat the stars package.

 

[MyNameIsJonas]

Ill say this.

this move for Laughton is wayyyyy better than going full rim for B Schenn

 

[Pwner]

Edna has been good today

God I am so relieved. I expected so much worse. You guys need to lower your expectations.

 

[zeke]

Yep. We're 11th in 5v5 scoring this year and we're blowing our load on acquiring Scott fucking Laughton.

5v5 this year

B.Nelson 1.75p1/60, 2.29p/60 ---- 2.02avg
M.Knies 1.72p1/60, 1.95p/60 ----- 1.84avg
B.McMann 1.62p1/60, 1.79p/60 -- 1.71avg
M.Rantanen 1.54p1/60, 1.71p/60 - 1.62avg
S.Laughton 1.39p1/60, 1.79p/60 - 1.59avg
M.Domi 1.25p1/60, 1.52p/60 ---- 1.39avg
B.Schenn 1.10p1/60, 1.65p/60 --- 1.38avg
N.Robertson 1.24p1/60, 1.44p/60 - 1.34avg
B.Tanev 0.89p1/60, 1.15p/50 ----- 1.02avg

They should have about $1.5 mill left, but a player would have to go out to add anyone else, so $2.3+.

 

[MindzEye]

No

They can be used in a package?

 

[Artnes]

It's fine. I'd almost always rather swing bigger but we'll see how it goes.

Im sure we hear more after the deadline but it sounds like they were right in the mix with Rants and Nelson

This makes me hopeful they are looking to fill the second pairing RHD role

Meh from a valuation perspective, it was one of the better trades today. Not necessary to get nitpicky here imo.

 

[LeafGm]

Goddammit I hate pizza boy and this entire fucking franchise so much. This is the Foligno trade 2.0. Massive overpay for a shitty 3rd line leaderbean.
