And yet his face off win percentage is still lower than most of the Flyers wings. Of the natural centers on the roster, he ranks 6th. If he ever breaks 50% for a season, let me know. Oh wait, he did it in a two game season last year.

Are you willing to give a young player any time at all to develop his game? As an example, Sean Couturier didn't break the 50% mark in faceoffs until his 6th NHL season and 350 games played. By comparison, Laughton has played 155 NHL games. 48.2% is not awful.
As far as the comment about Flyers wings, are you aware of sample size?
