Confirmed with Link: Leafs Acquire Brandon Carlo 15 Retention for Fraser Minten Cond 2026 1st Round Pick and A 2025 4th Round Pick

He's also 28 years old. This is not some physical vet dman who is 34 and best years are over. From what I have seen his best ability is his skating and long stick. His game should age pretty well

Agreed, my only worry is his concussion history.

Carlo was the Bruin's punching bag by some on the Bruin's board.
If you look at his entire career you will see he is very capable 2nd pairing and Stepped up to 1st pairing when Mac was injured.
If anything he's under-rated

He’s fitting in like a glove. Good trade for sure and hard to get a guy like this at his age, size, shoots right and has playoff experience

Feels like Carlo fills the all situation length defending role Dubas and Keefe trusted Holl to play. He seems like he’s been brought up in a better defensive system and has more sense than Holl and doesn’t have that irrational confidence Holl had when he started feeling it offensively. He also closes the body in a way Holl never did dependably. Good and steady so far.
