The Toronto Maple Leafs have been linked to Scott Laughton ahead of the trade deadline, and now we know this is not the first time they have pursued the Flyers forward. According to The Fourth Period’s David Pagnotta, Toronto was close to acquiring Laughton two years ago at the NHL Draft before ultimately deciding against the deal.

Toronto is in a better position to win than it has been in decades, and it'll be another failed year if it does nothing substantial.

Philadelphia Flyers forward Scott Laughton acknowledged he was just having a little fun when he posted a photo imitating "The Last Supper" to his social media Friday night - one week before the trade deadline.
