Brandon Carlo had a hand in some bad playoff memories for Leafs fans, while Scott Laughton of Oakville arrives from the Flyers with less recent post-season experience.
The Toronto Maple Leafs made several moves at the NHL trade deadline to strengthen their roster for the playoff push. With a tight battle for first place against the Florida Panthers, and the Tampa Bay Lightning climbing the standings recently, they couldn’t afford to stand pat as other contenders made key upgrades.
Scott Laughton didn’t require a name tag when he met Max Domi upon joining the Maple Leafs. After all, the two have known each other for almost their whole lives. Acquired from the Philadelphia Flyers on Friday, Laughton on Monday told media in Salt Lake City the story about how he met Domi.
