[Masters] Tavares à propos de Laughton en parlant à un fan de Winnipeg : « C’est juste qui il est. Il a toujours quelque chose dans sa manche. C’est difficile de le regarder avec un visage impassible parce que vous savez simplement qu’il se passe quelque chose au fond de son esprit qu’il essaie de prendre l’avantage sur quelqu’un. »

Say what you want about the assets we gave up to get him but Laughton is a beauty and I hope we extend him for a long time
Also from Mark Masters:
Laughton on that interaction: « Pretty fired up just with that penalty [on Knies] … He was kind of giving it to me so I was hoping for a nice overtime winner so I could get him back. I stayed in that spot, made sure I was in a good position »
Tavares on Laughton joining his line at morning skate: « We always laugh about the Oakville connection »
Scott smiles: « That’s exactly right. Johnny’s setting it up. He was all morning 😃 … We’re proud Oakville guys »
Tavares on Laughton: « He’s got a lot more playmaking than maybe a lot of people give him credit for … got real soft hands & real good understanding for the game »
Laughton: « Me & Johnny trained together in the summer & worked on a lot of things »
This pairing has some good vibes.

# He was worth every penny we paid to get him.
Glue guy, gotta love it.
Love this guy! Real Leaf! Blue heart inside
I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone ACTUALLY dislike Laughton. Even during our game against Philly, when Laughton led us to victory, most of the sentiments from Philly fans were « Well, at least Laughton’s happy, good for him. »
EVERYONE loves him. And I’m glad this fanbase is learning to love him too.

Dude has won over this season
As an Oshawa General fan so I was happy to see him come to the Leafs. Didn’t think he had a great start to his Leafs tenure but this year he is the guy I wanted to see. He looks so much better, hard for guys to spend a whole career with a team and get traded. Couldn’t be more happy having on the team. Massive upgrade on Kampf
Not sure why he hasn’t been used much in OT. As with many fans, I’ve come around to him. He’s got some of what made Tucker a fan favourite back in the day.
Beauty
What’s not to like about this beauty? Can’t wait to see him get second line minutes tonight. So deserved.
“Laughton is hard to look at, per John Tavares. Is there locker room issues in Toronto?”
-Simmonds
it truly is a luxury of riches having both Laughton and Roy in the bottom 6
8 points in 30 games, he better do something.
