The Philadelphia Flyers made three trades at the NHL trade deadline, including shipping out one of their team leaders. The Flyers traded center Scott Laughton, defenseman Erik Johnson and winger Andrei Kuzmenko in three separate moves Friday.

While the Flyers moved on from Laughton, which general manager Danny Brière says "it’s a little scary," the team is excited about keeping defenseman Rasmus Ristolainen.

Losing Laughton and Kuzmenko will make it even tougher for the Flyers to climb back into a playoff spot. They’re 14th in the Eastern Conference (only eight teams make the postseason) and there only 19 games left to play. Sanheim agrees with Couturier that Laughton leaves behind quite a legacy.
