"The Leafs traded Scott Laughton for a measly third-round pick to the Los Angeles Kings. The heartbeat of the team that really seemed like the only player that cared about playing in Toronto throughout the season, escaped the Maple Leafs and in his first game with the Kings, managed to score."
"Out of 44 games this season for Laughton, his game on Saturday where he played 15:08 time-on-ice, ranks 11th. Only 10 times did the veteran forward play more minutes for the Maple Leafs than he did in his Kings debut."
"These goals are not special or miraculous, but just incredibly timed since they happened shortly after the team snatches them off the Leafs. Which means, Bobby McMann has the chance to do the funniest thing ever when he makes his Seattle Kraken debut."
The Toronto Maple Leafs traded several forwards before the deadline, including Scott Laughton to the Los Angeles Kings for a third-round pick and Nicolas Roy to the Colorado Avalanche. Both players scored in their debuts with their new teams shortly after leaving Toronto. Laughton played over 15 minutes in his Kings debut, ranking among his highest ice time totals of the season despite limited playing time with the Leafs. Roy scored in his second game with Colorado. These immediate offensive contributions from departed players highlight Toronto's struggles this season as the team sits near the bottom of the league.
