As the only Philadelphia Flyers RFA with arbitration rights this offseason, forward Scott Laughton has exercised said rights and will have a hearing with the team and a third party sometime in late July or August. Both Laughton and the Flyers can continue to negotiate on a new deal up until the hearing date and have it dismissed if they’re able to agree to terms before then.
The 25-year-old forward had a career season for the Flyers last year, posting 32 points (12 Goals, 20 Assists) in 82 games. That ranked ninth on the entire team and broke his previous career high by 11 total points.
