I don't know what the end game is keep him around for 20 years at a sizeable cap hit and rotate the blue line around to make up for his lack of offense or toughness?

We got good mileage from him it's time to get a forward in a trade middle roster guys like this aren't supposed to stay on one team for 10+ years.

You need a PP capable RD it might spur McAvoy to improve on the man up and you can flip them between units. Peeke skates well and has size and is fine as defense first 2D. Even good Carlo isn't a great fit. Zadarov add gives us the big guy with reach wed lose.

Sweeney sucks for letting things get to this point.

Peeke is terrible and Carlo is absolutely worth the AAV differential and I wanted Carlo gone for Kesselring earlier in the season.

it's a toss up which one is worse. You've never liked Peeke. I've been down on Carlo except for last year, where he appeared to have his head removed from his butt. It's back in.

Still B's D should be better than it's showed, all year.

Any team that acquires Carlo will eventually be disappointed with how soft he is.

Coyle and Carlo for him and Vatrano. Throw in something else.

Perfect deal for us.

I said this in another thread I think Carlo is dealing with post concussion issues again. IMO it is the best explanation for his play falling off a cliff like this after a fairly good season last year.

I hope you are wrong but would not be surprised if you were right.

You have to wonder about taking a puck even under the eye if it may be causing concussion-related problems. He hasn’t had one in a while, but at some point you have to live the rest of your life.

Gotta laugh at the pearl clutching articles about Carlo being traded. “Oh my, whatever will we do for a top four stay at home dman”

Comical.

This guy is severely overrated; has been for years. Fire this guy into the Sun, as EVM would say.

Admit I have not watched much this year, but when I have it appears he has regressed.
There was a preseason game this year where some nobody blew by him. I thought it was just preseason, but
when I watch he seems to make mistakes he didn't in the past. He is one I would trade .

the best time to trade this guy would've been at the 2024 draft when guys like brett pesce and matt roy were available as UFAs.
i still doubt sweeney ever moves on from carlo.

If the B's have a remote chance of making the PO's, I doubt Sweeney will trade anyone of consequence.
Myself, the significant players I'd dangle are : Carlo, Frederick, Coyle, and Zacha. At the trade deadline I think you can get quite a bit more than they are worth.

Right, because I guess they've never seen him play.

I’m not a Carlo fan boy at all.

But, he has averaged +17 per 82 games in his career despite getting absolutely buried in the D zone outside of the Krug years.

Even this year, when Lindholm was in the lineup the Bruins had 66% of the goal share with that pairing on the ice and were playing very well across all the fancy and not fancy metrics despite the team being bad.

But yeah since Lindholm has been out Carlo has been a mess with Zadorov, Lorhei, Wotherspoon, etc.

I think the most interesting datapoint is the giveaways. Before Lindholm was injured, Carlo was averaging 3.5 giveaways per 60. Since, it has been 4.7. Carlo’s career average is 1.35. What the f*** is that? Is he trying to make more plays because the team sucks offensively? Is he being forced to take more of a lead in trying to move the puck because of his partners? Is the team just too slow and unskilled to cover the warts of such a one way player?

With Carlo being under 30, you would think it’s more mental or role than physical.

All that being said, I do think you need to swap Carlo or Peeke for someone with more two way value on this Bruins roster and Carlo would be the more valuable chip.

This isn’t an argument for/against Carlo, but simply to address your talk about the giveaways.

I wrote about this a while ago. Giveaways/takeaways across the league have skewed far more toward the giveaways. This is almost universal across players, regardless of position/team/history. Takeaways are way down. Giveaways are way up.

Carlo has successfully stepped up when Mac has been injured in the past. I'm glad he wasn't traded .Mac is going to be out awhile
