Toronto Maple Leafs Should Target Philadelphia Flyers Leader, Per Paul Bissonnette

Paul Bissonette suggested that the Toronto Maple Leafs should target Scott Laughton, one of the Philadelphia Flyers' leaders on the trade market.

The Leafs are still in the first place of the Atlantic Division, tied at 42 points with the Florida Panthers.

Once again on their way to great results in the regular season, the Leafs still need to win in the playoffs to prove their haters wrong.

To reach deep playoff rounds, Leafs general manager Brad Treliving will need to bolster tjhe lineup by making acquisitions before the trade deadline.

While many players could be a great fit in Toronto, the former NHLer, co-host of the renowned podcast Spittin' Chiclets and TNT analyst Paul Bissonnette revealed exactly who the team should go after.

He stated that Treliving should acquire Scott Laughton from the Philadelphia Flyers.

Bissonnette added that the player is very likable, plays a hard game on both sides of the ice, and only earns $3 million a year.

He also talked about how the Leafs should take inspiration from the Tampa Bay Lightning, and how they didn't add "flashy, but foundational pieces" to their lineup.

In his own words:

"The name always mentioned and I love him because he plays hard 200-foot game is Scott Laughton.

"I heard he's a likable guy, he makes $3M, have to give up a decent return to have him for this year and next but scout him the way Tampa Bay made trades. They aren't flashy but foundational pieces."
