While the Flyers moved on from Laughton, which general manager Danny Brière says "it’s a little scary," the team is excited about keeping defenseman Rasmus Ristolainen.

The Philadelphia Flyers made three trades at the NHL trade deadline, including shipping out one of their team leaders. The Flyers traded center Scott Laughton, defenseman Erik Johnson and winger Andrei Kuzmenko in three separate moves Friday.

Johnson, who was kept around as a veteran presence on the blue line, is getting reunited with Colorado for another playoff push.
