<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TJTwolf</b></div><div>As you obviously can't back up your arguments in any way other than to repeat that I'm cherry picking numbers when I've given you cold, hard facts it's no surprise you'd feel that way. There is no 'in a vacuum', it is a simple fact. He has only ever had one season with 40 points.</div></div>

Thats like saying, pre 2022-23, that MacKinnon was not a 100 point player. He had been on pace for it multiple times, but didn't hit the games played so didn't get there. Sure its a 'fact,' but its a sell-job.

And again, this whole time Ive referred to Laughton as a pseudo-2C, not a slam dunk by any means. He's clearly capable of 40 point seasons, as he's been mid-to-high 30s with a few 40s trickled him. Put him as a 2C next to Nichushkon Lehkonen, or potentially even a Rantanen, and he'd do fine - something that RyJo clearly has not done.

The reality is the Avs are a cap-strapped team, and unless they develop their own 2C (fingers crossed on Ritchie), they're not going to be able to have a true, legit 2C. Even someone like Gourde who is 5.166M next year would create a lot of challenges at that price, as much as I'd love him. Trading for someone with a little bit of term (Jenner is my first choice but CBJ fans continue to say the price is unrealistically high, Laughton is probably my 2nd choice) makes more sense in my opinion than continuing to pay a price year after year for a rental. Sure, we can Henrique this year, for what cost? And then we have the same problem next year, and have to likely pay that same price AGAIN for someone new.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TJTwolf</b></div><div>Yes you could. RyJo isn't long past achilles surgery at 4. So not sure what your point is there? Monahan 6 mil and had an injury, produced 23 points prior at a rate of 0.35 Pts per game. Bailey 5 mil and no injury, produced 25 points at a rate of 0.39 pts per game. Johansen produced 19 pts (to date) at a rate of 0.35 pts per game. Pretty damn similar. Not cherry picking numbers at all. To be fair I could argue it's more you doing that. The simple fact is Laughton has only one season where he's put up 40 points and also has only ever had one other season where he's been on pace for it. I mean if you want to argue he's been on pace at least once besides then sure, but why hasn't he achieved it? I could argue he appears to be injury prone.</div></div>

Monahan had a laundry list of serious injuries the years prior, including double hip surgery when he was traded from CGY to MTL. https://thewincolumn.ca/2022/04/03/breaking-down-sean-monahans-injury-history-and-what-happens-next/
Its not the same thing as RyJo's situation, but all you do is camp on this site and argue with people so I'm not surprised.

lol no, you're 100% cherry picking numbers. To continuously say "Laughton has only one season where he's had 40 points" is true in a vacuum, but ignores seasons such as his 27 points in 49 games. Its a sell-job from you. Sure though, you could argue injury prone yes.

PHI also reportedly turned down a few 1st round pick offers last year at the draft, but his value has likely dropped slightly since then, which is why I think the 1st + small add is probably sufficient to win the bidding war.
