The Philadelphia Flyers are one of the teams in the focus ahead of next week’s trade deadline. Sean Walker is the top right-handed defenseman on the market, Nick Seeler is a pending free agent as well and could be moved alongside his partner. Marc Staal should fetch a late-round pick. But then there’s Scott Laughton.
The idea of trading Laughton has been in Flyers fans’ minds for the past few years. It came down to the wire before he signed a five-year, $15-million contract extension at the 2021 trade deadline. He was in rumors last offseason and is once again on the tip of the tongue this time around.
