Newly acquired Maple Leafs forward Scott Laughton opens up on his close relationship with another current member of the team and how it materialized many years ago.

Laughton is the heart and soul of the Flyers, but for the betterment of the franchise, and based on their current timeline as a rebuilding organization, the trade had to be done.

Flyers general manager Daniel Briere is asking for high prices for Scot Laughton and Rasmus Ristolainen at the NHL trade deadline.

Losing Laughton and Kuzmenko will make it even tougher for the Flyers to climb back into a playoff spot. They’re 14th in the Eastern Conference (only eight teams make the postseason) and there only 19 games left to play. Sanheim agrees with Couturier that Laughton leaves behind quite a legacy.

The Maple Leafs traded for Scott Laughton to centre their third line. His biggest role might come behind the scenes.

Scott Laughton is a Toronto Maple Leaf. According to several reports the Philadelphia Flyers center has been traded to Toronto. Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman reported the Leafs are also getting a fourth and sixth-round draft pick in exchange for a first-round pick, forward prospect Nikita Grebenkin.

While the Flyers moved on from Laughton, which general manager Danny Brière says "it’s a little scary," the team is excited about keeping defenseman Rasmus Ristolainen.

Two of the new Toronto players, Scott Laughton and Brandon Carlo, made their Maple Leafs debuts on Saturday but are still adjusting to the shock of their sudden moves. Both players admitted they were still processing the reality of their new team, with Carlo calling it “a tough call to have.”

The Flyers traded Laughton to the Toronto Maple Leafs for Nikita Grebenkin and a first-round pick. The Flyers are retaining 50% of Laughton's contract and sending a 2025 fourth-rounder and 2027 sixth-rounder to the Leafs. Philly is getting a 2027 first-rounder with a top-10 protection from the Leafs.
