LA Kings Acquire Scott Laughton: A Gritty Veteran Forward Joins the Team

The LA Kings have added forward Scott Laughton to their roster, acquiring him from the Toronto Maple Leafs for a conditional third-round pick in the 2026 NHL Draft. Laughton, a 31-year-old with over seven hundred twenty regular-season games under his belt, brings a wealth of experience and a knack for the penalty kill to the team. Known for his grit and physical play, Laughton has nearly fourteen hundred hits and over four hundred blocked shots in his career. His best season was in 2022-23, when he scored eighteen goals and forty-three points. The Kings have also been active at the deadline, signing forward Mathieu Joseph and trading for second-round picks. With Laughtons addition, the team aims to bolster their bottom six as they push for the playoffs.
