Former Bruins Brad Marchand traded to Florida, Brandon Carlo to Toronto

[Bmessy]

It better be for on of those Finnish forwards not freaking Evan Rodriguez.
FLA has no 1st or 2nd picks so I'm guessing roster player

 

[whatsbruin]

He basically forced his way out....

How so ? If you say behavior, then you would not expect him to come back.

 

[McGarnagle]

Marchand had an NTC which limited where he would go, which gives leverage to the Panthers in the deal, so I'm sure it's not going to be a killer return.

 

[Coach Parker]

What if it's for a signed Bennett?

OK the best thing about this season just became watching Leaf fans realize how terrible Carlo is. I don't know what world they're living in but they all think he's good

Carlo is exactly what Toronto needed. He was our 3rd best DMan.

Anybody who thinks he was a stiff, doesn't know what they're talking about. Yes, he's had a down year this year (like the rest of the club, excluding Geekie and Pastrnak), but last season he was arguably one of our best players.......and he's only making $4.1mil. We shelled out $5mil for Zadorov FFS.

Let's hope he re-signs in the off-season.

End of an era, for sure. Good luck to all the former B’s.

You know that chart that's being updated with all the goals the bruins have given up in the last 2mins of a game? Is there a way to see how many of those Carlo was on the ice for?

 

[duffy]

We might not win another game this year and I’m so here for it

I saw the schedule and had us pegged for only 3 wins anyway, so not bad, we got younger, faster, and added a bunch of picks! And we got rid of Carlo, so that's a plus for me!

Florida has their 2026 first btw, the condition on the Seth Jones trade was if they didn't trade it. If they did it became a year later

 

[violaswallet]

Marchand had an NTC which limited where he would go, which gives leverage to the Panthers in the deal, so I'm sure it's not going to be a killer return.

That's what Florida fans are guessing: did Marchand pick his location? To be fair, Zito tends to give good returns still (Jones trade, Giroux trade)

One thing Florida fans are wondering: does this mean that Tkachuk might be out longer than suspected?

Fraser Minton played for Saskatoon (WHL) last year. I love that player.

Canada's World Junior Captain!

 

[BigBadBruins7708]

ok, getting Minten and a 1st for Carlo is a steal

 

[goldenblack]

How so ? If you say behavior, then you would not expect him to come back.

Asking for a FOUR year deal to play till 40?

 

[Therewolf31]

Sweeney was having a good deadline but I fear he gave away 63 for pennies. Interested to see if they got Cowan or another actual prospect for Carlo.

It's taking a long time to announce who they got.

 

[NDiesel]

Marchand has the rest of the year to recruit Bennett, then they both sign here in the offseason

 

[goldenblack]

ok, getting Minten and a 1st for Carlo is a steal

Whaaaaat?

 

[Mr. Make-Believe]

Asking for a FOUR year deal to play till 40?

That’s a load of BS

 

[Mr. Make-Believe]

ok, getting Minten and a 1st for Carlo is a steal

They got a first too?

 

[duffy]

ok, getting Minten and a 1st for Carlo is a steal

Is this confirmed? I didn't think the Leafs had a first.

 

[goldenblack]

Trader Don! Trader Don!

 

[BigBadBruins7708]

Whaaaaat?

that's what's being reported as the return. and sounds like we are retaining on Carlo

 

[bruinsden]

I understand trading him. I'm just sad. It will eat at me until the day I die that the Bergeron/Chara/Marchand/Rask core only won one cup.

 

[goldenblack]

Dooooonnnnyyyyyyy!!!!
