Scott Laughton signed a two-year extension the summer heading into this season. And while he has missed 20-games due to injury, he has been able to show the Flyers they were right in giving him that contract.
It took a while for Laughton to establish himself in the NHL. He had different stints with the team between 2012 and 2016. In total, he appeared in 109 games between those four seasons. The most came during the 2015-16 season where he played in 71 games. He had seven goals and 14 assists that year.
Despite that, the team still felt he wasn’t ready to join the NHL officially.
