NHL Insider’s take on Scott Laughton's potential trade to the Maple Leafs

On Tuesday's edition of TSN's Insider Trading, NHL insider Darren Dreger discussed Scott Laughton as a potential trade target for the Toronto Maple Leafs. According to Dreger, the Flyers' asking price for Laughton is a first-round draft pick or a prospect of equal value.

"You also have Scotty Laughton of the Philadelphia Flyers. The ask, a little bit less. It’s a first-round draft pick or an equal-value prospect unless Philadelphia has to take a player or a contract back, and then it’s a first-plus. So, two great options for the Leafs," Dreger said.

However, if Philadelphia has to take on a player or contract from Toronto as a part of the deal, the price goes up to a first-rounder plus additional compensation.

Scott Laughton has spent his entire 12-year NHL career with the Flyers. He has 106 goals and 265 points over 658 career games.
