I don’t think Laughton goes with retention for only a 1st. I think you get him no retention for a 1st but they turned down a 1st and 2nd for him this past summer so if they are easing up on their ask it’s not gonna include retention

Don’t think the leafs do that Nashville trade or Seattle trade

I can't see Seattle being interested in that. Given the difference in age, contract, and performance, Larsson is a much more valuable player than Brodie at this point, and an irreplaceable piece of the Kraken blue line. Niemelä, Robertson, and a 3rd/6th round pick swap doesn't really bridge the value gap between them in my eyes, especially if Seattle is retaining salary for this year and next. Besides, the Kraken are still looking to win and compete long term, so they'd rather just keep the younger and better player.

No thanks on Timmins.
