Flyers Trade Veteran Scott Laughton to Maple Leafs in Multi-Asset Deal

Philadelphia sends Laughton, two draft picks, and retains 50% of his salary in exchange for prospect Nikita Grebenkin and a conditional 2027 first-round pick.

• The Philadelphia Flyers traded Scott Laughton, a former first-round pick, to the Toronto Maple Leafs after 12 seasons with the team.
• The deal includes Laughton, a 2025 fourth-round pick, and a 2027 sixth-round pick going to Toronto, while Philadelphia receives forward prospect Nikita Grebenkin and a top-10 protected 2027 first-round pick.
• Philadelphia will retain 50% of Laughton's remaining $3 million salary cap hit, with one year left on his contract.
• Laughton, a versatile two-way center, has 27 points in 60 games this season and ranks 14th in all-time games played for the Flyers with 661 appearances.
• The Maple Leafs aim to bolster their center depth, addressing a need exacerbated by earlier injuries to Auston Matthews.
