The Flyers' brass is happy with Laughton's progress. Team Canada wants him as captain of the U-20 team this winter, but he will be given every opportunity to mkae the flyers out of camp.
From another thread:
Damn, didn't think Laughton was that highly regarded. Now the big question is if he's going to make the Flyers out of camp or not.
I'm from Oshawa (unfortunately) - and I think Laughton would be an amazing choice for captain.
Except that captains are generally returning players....so unless Rielly,Reinhart and Hudon aren't around (the first 2 are possibilities) I would expect one of them to be the overwhelming favorite....Monahan seems the likeliest candidate for first year letter. Having said that I am also a fan of Laughtons game...his speed and defensive game/leadership would play really well at this level imo..
So the guy isn't even captain of his junior team and he's a front runner for TC captain?
The team is filled with captains of their respective squads, no need to force the role on a kid that isn't a leader.
I think Reinhart is a near shoe-in for Captain of the U20 team, apparently he's a natural leader and the coaches are leaning that way as well.
Shinkaruk-Horvat-Domi I would like to see.

Well, since McFaull won't be returning this year, I can see Rielly taking over that Captain's spot for the warriors, and if that's true, your argument is completely worthless.
Yeah he is. He's an assistant captain for his team, it's not like they consider him a cancer or anything. Based on how TC has historically handed out letters there's a very good chance he'll be wearing one.
What do you think about the chances of Comrie, Petan and Morrissey making the team?
I think Comrie and Morrissey will make it. Petan has great skills, but somehow doesn't fit the mold in my mind

There is a ton of talent to choose from. I think a balanced line up like this would work great:
I am going to assume Reilly gets sent back to junior, Drouin MacKinnon and Reinhart all stick with their clubs.
Hudon - Monahan - S. Reinhart
Shinkaruk - McDavid - Mantha
Horvat - Laughton - Domi
Rychel - Lazar - Wilson
Gauthier
Reilly - Pulock
Finn - Nurse
Dumba - Pouliot
Heatherington
Fucale
Jarry
Paterson
