From potential trades to the Flyers’ future at goalie, here are some highlights from our AMA with the r/Flyers subreddit ahead of Friday's NHL trade deadline.

The Toronto Maple Leafs are reportedly in talks with the New York Islanders about one of their bigger, nastier defensemen ahead of Friday's trade deadline.

Darren Dreger: As many as eight teams have called the Philadelphia Flyers about center Scott Laughton. The center market is thin and Flyers GM Daniel Briere is being patient. There are already first-round picks in play and Briere is seeing if the offers increase as we get closer to Friday.

The New York Islanders snapped their four-game skid two nights ago in TD Garden against the Boston Bruins. The win came despite the Bruins outshooting the Islanders 39-20 and ultimately dictating play most of the night.

Laughton’s name is front and center when it comes to players who could be moved, with Winnipeg and Toronto among potential landing spots.

According to TSN’s Darren Dreger, sources close to Laughton believe he would be eager to join the Leafs if a deal can be worked out, as it would allow him to play for a contender chasing the Stanley Cup this postseason.

The Jets missed their chance to end the Islanders' playoff hopes and possibly the opportunity to make an upgrade at the trade deadline.
