Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia: Again, this is one that does not seem to go away. Scott Laughton rumors have persisted for some time and they are definitely linked to Ron Hextall and the Pittsburgh Penguins. This is not something that was blown out of proportion. Most just presumed that it was.
It does not feel like Laughton is approaching UFA status and yet he is. The crazy thing is the 2012 draft pick has generated as much interest as he has. Laughton carries a friendly cap hit and is on an expiring contract.
