Why now is the best time for Flyers to trade Scott Laughton

Scott Laughton has been in trade rumors for what seems like forever now. The Philadelphia Flyers forward always has his name thrown around as a depth forward option at the deadline but Danny Briere & Co. have set a high price for the locker room leader.

But now feels like the right time to pull the trigger on a Laughton trade.

Laughton is under contract through next season with a cap hit of $3 million. The 30-year-old forward is having one of his best seasons in a while and teams are taking notice.

Everything is coming together for this to be the right time to trade Laughton.
