The Toronto Maple Leafs have recently bolstered their roster by acquiring veteran forward Scott Laughton from the Philadelphia Flyers. Laughton, 30, brings a wealth of experience, having spent his entire 12-season NHL career with the Flyers. This season, he has tallied 27 points (11 goals, 16 assists) in 60 games. Notably, he has been a consistent contributor to the penalty kill, scoring eight short-handed goals over the past five seasons. citeturn0search0

In exchange for Laughton, the Maple Leafs have sent forward Nikita Grebenkin and a first-round pick in the 2027 NHL Draft to Philadelphia. The Flyers are also retaining 50% of Laughton’s remaining contract, making this a strategic move for Toronto as they strengthen their depth at center behind Auston Matthews and John Tavares. citeturn0search0

Laughton’s familiarity with the Toronto area is an added bonus; he hails from Oakville, Ontario, just west of the city. His addition is expected to enhance the Maple Leafs’ special teams and provide valuable leadership as the team pushes toward the Stanley Cup playoffs. citeturn0search0
