Scott Laughton News
Philadelphia Flyers forward Scott Laughton did not participate in Wednesday's practice due to illness. Given the trade speculation surrounding the 29-year-old, some alarm bells went off after he wasn't seen on the ice Wednesday but there appears to be another reason for his absence. A quality two-way center, Laughton has recorded 10 goals and 32 points across 63 games on the season after he recorded a career-high 18 goals and 43 points in 78 games last season. He also has 132 shots, 117 hits, 50 penalty minutes, and a plus-seven rating on his resume this season. He is currently in the third year of a five-year deal that carries a $3 million annual cap hit.
The Philadelphia Flyers are taking calls from teams gauging interest in the availability of center Scott Laughton. The Flyers are reportedly not eager to trade him but with a thin center-ice crop available (and top center Elias Lindholm traded to the Canucks), the club could seemingly get a nice return for the two-way pivot. The 29-year-old recorded a career-high 18 goals and 43 points last season and has five goals and 20 points on 109 shots across 50 games this season. A gritty player and a valuable penalty killer, Laughton also has 73 hits and 44 penalty minutes on his ledger this season. The Flyers were one of the most surprising teams in the league for much of the season's first half but dropped their final five games before the All-Star break and have slipped onto the playoff bubble in the Eastern Conference.
Philadelphia Flyers forward Scott Laughton has reportedly become a hot commodity in the NHL. Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman has reported that "many teams" talked with Flyers general manager Danny Briere about a potential Laughton deal at Saturday's draft combine. The 29-year-old is a versatile player who has just had a career year offensively with 43 points collected in 78 games and whose cap hit stands at an attractive $3 million with three more years left on his deal. Laughton has so far spent all of his NHL career with the Flyers, scoring 82 goals and registering 199 points in 519 regular-season outings.
Philadelphia Flyers forward Scott Laughton opened the scoring with a power-play goal and collected two assists as the team rolled to a 5-3 victory against Washington on Wednesday. One of his helpers came on a short-handed goal. Laughton has quietly been putting up impressive numbers since mid-December, logging six goals and seven assists in 12 games. He had just 10 points for the season before the run started. Laughton is a guy who can do it all on the ice and has added 89 hits and 23 blocks to his 10 goals and 23 points in 38 games.
