Remember that it took them YEARS to come to grips with trading a 4th liner.
Meanwhile they can't make skilled players go away fast enough. They'll even pay to make sure it happens as fast as possible. Then they complain that they need more skill; the only conclusion is that they believe types like Laughton are what embodies skill

i fully expect the Flyers will trade back to HotRod this summer...
The funny thing is, your statement that he’s done nothing so far positive extends longer than 3 games. Im trying to think if it’s true if we include the last 3 years.

I hate this team
Had a buddy who messaged me Thursday asking "is Laughton any good or did you guys just fleece us".I think this was a fair response:
Lol.
He is wildly overrated by old school hockey people. He is a better LWer than C for sure.
When he plays with better players, he can usually produce. But he can't carry a line...even if it’s the 3rd or 4th line.
He has been a reliable pker and is a threat to score shorthanded.
People who love Torts and his archaic thinking, love Laughton. People like myself am glad he is gone so Torts can't overplay him.
Just think, the Flyers gave him a heart felt send off while Giroux got nothing. They didn't even acknowledge when Giroux got his 1000 point. And that's why the Flyers suck....stuck in past.

Laughton hasn't played in a pressure situation in many years. That's why he wanted to remain a Flyer. Easy peasy coming to the ice for a team with no expectations ever. Now he's gotta deal with Toronto pressure and remembering how to play Center, for which he's always been mediocre at. Treliving did not do his homework on Laughton. If Berube moves him to LW, he'll be fine.

Flyers legacy mindset has them always protecting their "meat & potatoes" guys...somewhere along the line, the "meat" they were protecting became spam and the management went "potatoes".

Guy is going to have to remember how to play modern NHL hockey since he hasn't been asked to do anything resembling that since 2014.
Realistically though this may be one of the better deals for bottom six winger in recent history. Alongside Erat and Jeanot trades.
They continue to overrate him big time. If he flames out in Toronto can easily see the Flyers wanting to bring him back, especially seeing how the crumbled down the stretch. They will attribute some of that to not having leader Laughton in the “room”.Mark Masters: John Tortorella urges Toronto to be patient with new Leaf Scott Laughton | TSN

Only question is what do they send back?
Does Torts love Laughton so much he will quit the Flyers to go and consult the Leafs? One can only hope
