Kind of weak returns for PHI I think.
Koneckny probably gets more than that.
Laughton is probably worth a 1st and a bit more, and as said many times on here, Robertsons's value to the leafs is higher than to anyone else, his value as a former 2nd round pick, who's still an undersized one dimensional player, is at an all time low after 3 pro seasons. SO while the 1st and 3rd is enough for Laughton (TOR paid more for older/struggling rentals in Foligno and ROR), the rest of the deal isnt enough. Also each team only has 3 retention spots and for PHI to eat one in this trade (especially for 2 yrs) limits them moving forward, and the TDA retention would be all 3 spots gone
Not sure Gustaffson brings anything to that deal.
Cant see PHI not moving TDA and then just sitting on 11mil in cap space, when they have few UFA/RFA problem signings in the near future.
The RFA signings are way too light.
Just seems 2024 picks happy with little regard to what happens with the youth they have now over the next 2-3 yrs.
And considering the current age of the team, you're not giving them much to work with here in terms of quality. You're wasting and stifling development of a team full of young guys (Cates, Frost, Tippett, Foerster, Farabee, York, Desnoyers, broberg, Attard) by playing them up the lineup with older guys who should be down the lineup or are off pretty average talent.
