No one from the front office told Laughton he’s on the trade block, but they did have “little conversations” a few weeks back. Laughton said he’s “pretty comfortable” with where things stand.
Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia: Hall writes that the Philadelphia Flyers have some players that the teams want. Under GM Daniel Briere, this is the second straight season that the Flyers are open for business with players like Scott Laughton and Rasmus Ristolainen.
According to The Fourth Period’s David Pagnotta, Toronto was close to acquiring Laughton two years ago at the NHL draft before ultimately deciding against the deal.
