Leafs deal McMann to Kraken, Laughton to Kings ahead of NHL trade deadline

  • On Friday, the Toronto Maple Leafs traded Bobby McMann to the Seattle Kraken for a 2027 second-round pick and a 2026 fourth-round pick, and Scott Laughton to the Los Angeles Kings for a 2026 third-round pick that upgrades if the Kings make the playoffs.
  • After trading Nicolas Roy on Thursday, Toronto began a mini sell-off as both McMann and Laughton, pending unrestricted free agents, failed to secure extensions by Friday.
  • Season numbers show Bobby McMann, 29, has 19 goals and 32 points in 60 games while averaging 15:19 TOI, and Scott Laughton, 31, has eight goals and 12 points in 43 games, providing a shutdown presence under Craig Berube.
  • Seattle gains forward depth and special-teams versatility that could help its playoff push, while Los Angeles acquires Scott Laughton to boost their wild-card bid, as Laughton is going out west for the first time in his career.
  • Past trades show Treliving's ongoing roster churn, and it's thought McMann won't sign with Seattle, making him a sought-after free agent this summer.
