Last Word on Hockey did a write-up about how Philly might trade C/LW Scott Laughton. I know that our most immediate need is a 2nd line RW, but I’ve been a fan of Laughton’s since junior. He’s 6’1”, defensively responsible, and plays the game HARD. He’s also a leader, and someone who could help come playoff time. He’s scrappy and hard-nosed. I know it won’t happen, but boy would he look good on a line with Backs and Coleman. He’s signed for the next 4 years at $3m/ per.
