"Scott Laughton remains firmly on the trade block throughout the day. According to Chris Johnson of The Athletic, Scott Laughton has drawn interest from the Colorado Avalanche and Detroit Red Wings. The Maple Leafs and Avalanche have already made a trade, sending Nicolas Roy to the Avs in exchange for a first and fifth-round pick."
"Laughton is a strong depth piece, playing crucial minutes and providing depth throughout any contending roster. The Maple Leafs have scratched Laughton over the course of the past two contests due to roster management."
"Laughton has been one of the sole bright spots with the Maple Leafs this season, as he has played well night in and night out. On a roster where they have not gotten much production from their bottom six, Laughton has been a stable force."
The Toronto Maple Leafs are actively exploring trades ahead of the deadline to acquire younger talent and draft assets for their future. Scott Laughton has attracted interest from the Colorado Avalanche and Detroit Red Wings. The Maple Leafs previously traded Nicolas Roy to Colorado for a first and fifth-round pick. Laughton, acquired from Philadelphia last season, has been a consistent performer on the Maple Leafs' roster, providing stable depth and crucial minutes. The team expects to receive a prospect and mid-round draft pick in return, though likely less than the Roy trade. Laughton has expressed interest in remaining with Toronto next season.
