Sujet: Flyers Avs 3C Swap
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ujeje</b></div><div>There is like zero reason to buyout Atkinson or Johansen just because we can, I'd rather use the retentions on Atkinson, Johansen or maybe even Hathaway at TDL, to get some return. I just don't see Ross Colton as a player we should be paying 5,5M and use a retention slot. And especially knowing Avs cap situation, you should just try to abuse it.

No matter what these Avs fans are saying, both are 3rd liners with similar stats, playing about the same time on 2nd PP, the difference is that Laughton is also playing PK, and been part of one of the best PKs this season. And one is playing in top team, other not so much. You can figure which one is which.

Definitely should not be giving any sweeteners for this, but rather get something if we're about to retain on Laughton. Even if Colton is somewhat better 5v5 player.

But just my opinion.</div></div>

johansen was shopped around at the deadline with full retention, i know it's harder to move money in season but no one wants him (not even considering his injury). atkinson would cost more and is a worse player, so there would be even fewer intrigue. they get bought out if CHI/SJ/ARZ/whoever does not want them to reach the floor

laughton hasn't even been a 3rd liner this year, while colton has been a fringe 2nd liner. ignoring cap situations, sweeteners are needed. colton has been a net neutral at worst basically everywhere he plays, laughton hasn't even been a significant positive on the pk (that goes to couturier, poehling, konecny, cates) and has been atrocious on the powerplay. colton is the better player across the board

i don't disagree that it is not the most ideal situation in terms of a money in/out perspective, but it is an interesting option to acquire a great 3C for the future. if the retention gets it done without having to give up other big assets, i think i do it 10 times out of 10

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GMDannyB</b></div><div>This makes no sense</div></div>

why exactly? pretty big upgrade on laughton and retention is done before michkov's rookie year so has no 'important' cap implications

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ujeje</b></div><div>5,5M for Ross Colton sounds too much. And that would also leave Flyers with 1 retention slot for next 2 years.</div></div>

yea it is an extra retention slot, but other than ristolainen there isn't a player on the roster who would be traded with retention (and there's no guarantee that happens) so it's not a major concern imo. atkinson/johansen are buyout candidates, konecny is basically locked in to getting an extension on july 1, and no one else is really a trade candidate (unless it is for a larger asset in which case they would not be retaining)
