"Fast forward to 2025-26, and after two freak injuries kept him out of action for most of the first six weeks of the season, fans are finally starting to see why Laughton was valued so high for the Flyers. While the offensive numbers still aren't eye-popping on paper, with six goals and eight points in 29 games, Laughton's personality and defensive game have made up for the lack of scoring."
"Getting to know the staff here and everyone around the building, and getting to know my teammates even better. We have a great group of guys here. I keep coming home and telling my wife how awesome it is to come into the rink every day."
"He finished the 2024-25 season with two goals and two assists in 20 games with the Leafs, and only two assists in 13 playoff games."
Scott Laughton struggled initially after being traded to the Toronto Maple Leafs, drawing criticism after the team surrendered a first-round pick and top prospect Nikita Grebenkin. He found a role on the fourth line with Steven Lorentz and Calle Jarnkrok, where his defensive play and toughness gained appreciation despite limited scoring. He finished 2024-25 with two goals and two assists in 20 regular-season games and two assists in 13 playoff games. After two early 2025-26 injuries, Laughton rebounded to record six goals and eight points in 29 games while showing improved confidence following a full training camp under coach Craig Berube.
