If Laughton plays 3C, we have a much larger problem. That spot needs to be Patrick or Hayes. I could see him playing on the 3RW though. There's a gap there right now, and he's played that position before. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that's the case, Laughton's making a bit much, and it's a problem. -If Hayes is 3C, then the team has a very big problem, because $7M/yr is simply too much for that position. In the cap world, there's not a lot of room to pay guys a tier above what they can produce. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Line numbers are less important these days. Players and roles are much more fluid. Laughton had the 5th most minutes among forwards last year. He plays an important role on the PK (2nd most minutes among forwards behind Couturier), starts 63.7% of his shifts in the defensive zone, and went 54.2% of faceoffs. He's really carved out a role for himself. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mojo1917 Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 @ruxpin @FD19372 @JR Ewing 5 guys big draw for me is fresh cut fries...if a burger joint has fresh cuts the actual burger can be crap and I'd still be okay with it. As it is 5 guys burgers are fresh " all the way" offers a decent assortment of condiments. My favorite burger joint closed down- Grills Gone Wild. Great name better food. a CIA trained chef with a gambling problem and his stoner buddy made THE Best, craziest burgers in town (Lancaster). They julienned the fries right in front of you: one potato for a small 2 for a large. That place ruled. But for a chain 5 guys is a okay.

What a great move this would be. The guy was nothing more than an average 4 line player. So moving him to 3rw to play with a No 2 pick that we are wanting to take to the next level, would be just plain stupid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could also be Raffl, or maybe one of the kiddos from the farm will take the next step. I do think it's also possible Laughton will spend time there though. There really aren't a ton of options for that spot. Unless of course Fletch goes out and gets someone else. That seems unlikely at this point though with only 13M left and two future studs to sign.

CoachX Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 Unless they sign a UFA to play 3rw, I want to see one of these youg players get the spot. I dont want to see a guy fill the spot because there is no better option. If Laughton was 3rd line material, he would have been there already 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's arguably a local thing and I'll try it sometime elsewhere. But there's nothing fresh about their burgers to me. Just an oily, greasy mess. My favorite are fresh cut fries, too, but I can get them at places with better burgers, so... Edited July 15, 2019 by ruxpin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jammer2 Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 Slight overpayment. Still think he has 40 pt upside...with the right minutes played and linemates. We shall see... but even at 20 pts he provides speed and makes the team tougher to play against. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People were ok with the contact Raffl got and he brings less to the table than Laughton does. I like the Tasmanian Devil on skates. He plays his role well, you can play him on any line and doesn't look out of place, he's very coachable and he does everything that's asked of him. I'm glad he got the contact he got. Raffl did score 20 goals one year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
