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.
