One name to watch is Maple Leafs' prospect Fraser Minten, who the Flyers could see as a perfect replacement eventually for the third-line center role.Laughton brings a bulldog mentality to the rink each and every game, he's perfectly suited for playoff hockey, and teams are willing to look past his down season offensively with the type of intangibles he brings to each contest.The 30-year-old Oakville, ON native is signed through next season at $3 million AAV, and does not hold any trade protection.

The NHL's trade deadline is March 7.Photo credit: © Eric Hartline-Imagn Images ...
