Flyers Trade Scott Laughton to Maple Leafs for 2027 First-Round Pick and Prospect

Philadelphia moves veteran forward as part of its rebuild, while Toronto bolsters its roster for a playoff push.

Scott Laughton, a long-time Flyers forward, was traded to the Toronto Maple Leafs along with two later-round draft picks in exchange for a conditional 2027 first-round pick and prospect Nikita Grebenkin.
The Flyers retained 50% of Laughton’s remaining $3 million annual salary, which has one year left on his contract.
The conditional first-round pick from Toronto is top-10 protected, meaning Philadelphia would receive an alternative pick if Toronto’s selection falls within the top 10 in 2027.
Nikita Grebenkin, a 21-year-old Russian winger, has shown potential in the AHL and adds size and grit to Philadelphia's rebuilding roster.
Laughton, a versatile center from Oakville, Ontario, joins Toronto as a key addition to their lineup, with hopes of enhancing their playoff prospects in a competitive Atlantic Division race.
