Scott Laughton is another potential target for the Maple Leafs as they look for center options. Toronto has yet to engage in talks with the Flyers regarding Laughton, but he stands as a viable alternative should negotiations with the Blues falter.

The Flyers are navigating trade talks with Ristolainen amid low interest, emphasizing strategic decisions over impulsive trades.

Rasmus Ristolainen remains with the Flyers amid low trade interest, despite being a solid right-handed defenseman with a reasonable contract. His reputation may be limiting his marketability.

Scott Laughton is a secondary target for the Maple Leafs as they evaluate their options. His versatility and potential cost-effectiveness make him an appealing alternative should the acquisition of Schenn fall through.

The Philadelphia Flyers have not received the expected trade interest for Ristolainen, which is a surprise given their expectations. This could impact their strategy moving forward.
