2 first round picks is just "a bunch of stuff" lol
Don't expect the average fan to know who Pärssinen is though
You should also remove Laughton and Joseph from that trade. We have no need for Laughton (as evidenced by this ACGM lines, as he is on the 4th line while Kastelic, who is the prototypical 4th line Center, on the Wing), he's quite overrated as some Flyers fans think he has 1st + value
He's slightly better offensively than Joseph but not as good defensively and particularly on the PK. Although, who knows how Joseph would produce if he could play close to a full season, with better linemates, more minutes and more PP opportunity?
Konecny for 15th OA + 1st + Pärssinen + Boucher is actually a VERY GOOD return

The Flyers turned down an offer of a 2023 first and future 2nd for Laughton. They aren't trading him for a cap dump, bust prospect, and C level prospect.
So yes, you threw a bunch of "stuff" into the deal in an attempt to make it look better than it actually is which is a flat out bad offer.
Laughton is BARELY an upgrade on Joseph. Trading Joseph as a camp dump while paying a 1st + for Laugh would be incredibly stupid. I don't give a **** what medias said lol
I think Dorion is easily the worst GM in the league but I can't see him making something as stupid.

Brierre is going to be kicking rocks when he realises that "first for Laughton" deal was a once in a lifetime overpayment for a 3rd liner that likely doesn't get offered again.
One of the picks involved here is the 15thOA. This is a fine payment for Konecny. Flyers fans need to come down to Earth.
Anyone with the resemblance of a brain knows it was offered at the last deadline.
Laughton numbers have been inflated lately due to opportunity. Just check the jump in TOI, PP and linemates. Still nothing special for that kind of opportunity. Connor Brown did better with worse linemates while being better defensively and on the PK. He got traded for a 2nd last offseason. But suddenly, Laughton is worth a 1st+
Damn, people are so gullible. Don't think any GM will have the balls to make that move now and be laughed at. Everyone and their dog knows you could get much better than Laughton with a 1st right now.
