While the Flyers moved on from Laughton, which general manager Danny Brière says "it’s a little scary," the team is excited about keeping defenseman Rasmus Ristolainen.

The Flyers traded Laughton to the Toronto Maple Leafs for Nikita Grebenkin and a first-round pick. The Flyers are retaining 50% of Laughton's contract and sending a 2025 fourth-rounder and 2027 sixth-rounder to the Leafs. Philly is getting a 2027 first-rounder with a top-10 protection from the Leafs.

Scott Laughton will play center alongside Bobby McMann and Max Domi when he makes his Toronto Maple Leafs debut on Saturday against the Colorado Avalanche.
