Scott Laughton will play center alongside Bobby McMann and Max Domi when he makes his Toronto Maple Leafs debut on Saturday against the Colorado Avalanche.
Losing Laughton and Kuzmenko will make it even tougher for the Flyers to climb back into a playoff spot. They’re 14th in the Eastern Conference (only eight teams make the postseason) and there only 19 games left to play. Sanheim agrees with Couturier that Laughton leaves behind quite a legacy.
Both just traded, longtime Boston teammates Charlie Coyle and Brandon Carlo sat by each other on the plane ride to Colorado.
The new Maple Leafs and Colorado Avalanche flew cross country, then jumped right into the lineups for Saturday’s game in Denver.
