## Resource

Scott Laughton’s future looks firmly rooted in LA as contract talks with the Kings heat up, making a return to Toronto seem unlikely despite fan hopes. Traded at the deadline last season, Laughton thrived under DJ Smith in LA, averaging 15 minutes a game — up from 13 in Toronto — and nearly matching his Leafs output. While he fondly recalls his time in Toronto as a childhood dream, the Kings’ pending coaching decision and his strong performance have shifted the narrative.
