Playing career

Laughton signed a three-year, entry-level contract with the Flyers on August 8, 2012.[2] Following the 2012–13 NHL lockout, Laughton made the Flyers out of the team's abbreviated training camp and made his NHL debut on January 19, 2013 at home against the Pittsburgh Penguins.[3]

Following the Flyers 2013–14 preseason training camp, Laughton was loaned back to the Oshawa Generals of the OHL after failing to stick with the NHL club to start the season.[4]

In the 2014–15 season, Laughton scored his first career NHL goal in the second period of the Flyers 5–1 win over the Carolina Hurricanes on December 13, 2014.

On July 11, 2017, the Flyers re-signed Laughton to a two-year, $1.925 million contract worth $962,500 annually.[5]

On July 12, 2019, the Flyers re-signed Laughton to a two-year, $4.6 million contract worth $2.3 million annually.[6]
