Former Bruins Brandon Carlo III

[TheReal13Linseman]

Carlo was a decent player in Boston but Peeke can do the job ….

So true. I am SO glad Carlo is gone. Good job by DS. Leafs drank the kool aid on Carlo.

Sweeney crushing presser confirming this.

In a flat out sellers market it shows Carlo's value was greatly overestimated here.

 

[chizzler]

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.

This was almost a knock out call.

That’s why you trade before the TD if you need players. If you sell…..TD is your friend.

 

[Bruin]

I can’t stop laughing at Leafs fans, they’re acting like they just picked up Cale Makar for cheap.

 

[chizzler]

Let them enjoy. Everyone roots for their team. I like Carlo. He just has had a rough couple of years with injury.

Who was expecting more than a first-round pick and a prospect?

I'm going to miss Carlo ,9 solid seasons shuting down top lines . I understand the trade, only wish he went out west
Not going to enjoy watching him shut down the Bruins

I don’t think there’s much to fear there. Just think of how many goals he’s going to tip into his own net for us.

Farewell to Brando. Brandon seemed like a really good egg but like most eggs his shell got cracked a couple times.
I wish him all the best and a healthy rest of his career.
He's a good, clean moral kind of guy.
IMO like all the other trades that DS made today it had to be done. I think he got a really good return on him, and actually all of the trades. So far I'm giving DS an A-. Of course that may change when I see the actual returns but so far, I like.

 

[BigGoalBrad]

That's worse for them than the Kessel trade are they on crack Carlo is f***ing awful.

He didn't shut down shit soft no offense dude that never fought or used his size. Addition by subtraction.

 

[BadBruins]

Carlo was a decent player in Boston but Peeke can do the job ….

That's basically what it comes down to. Essentially the same player. Add Zadorov on the left side and Carlo became even more expendable. He might have the best pedigree, but the return was too good to pass up for a player who's shown a few signs of early decline.

I'm not sure Toronto offers the stability Carlo would thrive in. We will see. I've always been a supporter.

 

[Bruinaura]

I remember when he was a rookie and that already feels like forever ago. Seems like a good kid. Wasn't he also the player rep?

I'd say good luck in Toronto but I don't want them to win, ever. lol The best I can do is say if by some insane way they win the Cup, there is one player for whom I would be happy.

Best of luck to you!

He is going to help Toronto, I liked him a lot here. Great on the Penalty Kill. All the best to a very steady & reliable player.

So long Humpty Dumpty! You got your melon cracked open a few many times! I know what that's like, could've been a contender! Best of luck

This f***ing sucks, man.

Classy

 

[hrdpuk]

I already miss Carlo.

 

[HumBucker]

He wasn't as bad as many posters here seem to believe. Had a rough season, but so did 85% of the team. Any D with size who doesn't play nasty, will get criticized*. But he used his reach fairly well, was a good PKer. Maybe not a stellar puck carrier or a huge threat to score, but he was what he was - a decent 2nd-pairing D man.


* Then we bring in Zadorov, who has size and IS nasty, hits often, and actually moves the puck quite well, and can attack the net when needed ... and of course he gets criticized.

Who was expecting more than a first-round pick and a prospect?

I thought we would get at best a 2nd rounder or a carrear AHLer! I thought I was seeing things when I saw the total package. I would have been extatic with just FM but add the picks and this is a absolute steal.

He’s a top 4 defenseman making less than $4.5M with two more years of term, clear PK1, and has been buried more than any defenseman in the league over the past 5 years. If anything I think you could hope for a bit more of a return, but it’s pretty solid. Carlo has never been appreciated for the role he has played.

You left out that he's also a black hole on offense, that matters
