Flyers could keep Laughton; one cut remains
Will the Flyers use up-and-coming Scott Laughton or veteran Vinny Lecavalier as their third-line center when the season starts Oct. 8?
That is one of the questions that could be answered as soon as Thursday, provided the team decides to finalize its roster.
The Flyers waived wingers Chris Porter and Colin McDonald on Wednesday, and now have to cut just one more player to get their roster down to 23, the NHL maximum.
They could keep Laughton - but figure to do so only if he plays among the top nine - or send the 6-foot-1, 190-pound center back to the AHL's Phantoms. Either way, Lecavalier will be on the roster unless he is dealt.
