That said, I don't know the answer to this... it would be nice to see how Laughton can do before getting tied down by another contract.

With Briere hurt and Schenn penciled in on the wing, there's still room to sign Gomez and give Laughton a look-see. I would be surprised if Laughton is at the point developmentally where you have to save a spot for him in the forward lineup. Either he forces himself into the picture through 5 games or he doesn't.
Hartnell - Giroux - Schenn
Read - Couturier - Voracek
Talbot - Gomez - Simmonds
Fedotenko - Laughton - Wellwood
