Laughton is the heart and soul of the Flyers, but for the betterment of the franchise, and based on their current timeline as a rebuilding organization, the trade had to be done.

The Maple Leafs picked up Flyers' center Scott Laughton at the NHL trade deadline. How did both sides make out in the deal?

Scott Laughton had another priceless reaction after learning he was being traded to the Toronto Maple Leafs.
