Message: [QUOTE="jncuse, post: 5566276, member: 1969"] Part of the reason for the higher payments (be it the additional prospect or going from 2nd to 1st), was that both were non rentals. Furthermore, Flyers had to retain part of Laughton's salary. If you are going to give a first in those type of deals, it has to be for that upcoming draft (so you know its not worse than 20th) In retrospect the Leafs aware that Marner was leaving, and not knowing where they were headed should have stuck to rentals at the March 2025 deadline, that would not have cost a first round pick. Those future first rounders are tough to swallow right now. [/QUOTE]
