Confirmed with Link: Leafs acquire Brandon Carlo (15% retention) for Fraser Minten, cond. 2026 1st round pick and a 2025 4th round pick

[francis246]

minten, timmins, dewar and the 2nd is my guess. I doubt the first is involved

 

[Kiwi]

Ya got to wait for that to drop but I do like having carlo.
Even it's Cowan goes, we don't have a need for his scoring

I'd much rather trade Minten, I don't think he has the ceiling of Cowan

 

[Gallagbi]

Worried about cost, but we have partner options in Mo and OEL

 

[BayStBullies]

Facing Minten on Boston forever is not fun, didn't want to see him go, damn

 

[leafsfan5]

we're giving up a lot here

Wonder if we got something small on top of this. Or is there retention?

 

[saltming]

Ouch

Rumor is Minten is the prospect... Sucks but TOP 4 RHD aren't cheap.

Ouch but you have to give to get

 

[tuckerintensity]

I like getting Carlo, don't love the idea of us trading picks/futures with Boston given how that's gone in the past, but Carlo is a good get.

 

[hamzarocks]

I have never liked Minten as a prospect so getting Carlo asuming he bounces abck is a good bit of work

Dont see Minten being much more than Kampf is

[TheGreenTBer]

I don't care about giving up Minten but I damn well DO care about the '26 1st so very much hoping that's not involved.

 

[saltming]

Agreed

I'd much rather trade Minten, I don't think he has the ceiling of Cowan

But scoring is airways and attraction.
Sadly it looks like minten though

 

[likecheese]

Will be a solid partner for Reilly, if not the best he’s ever had

Practice defending 2 on 1s Brandon.

 

[trellaine201]

Is Carlo similar to Tanev? I don’t know nearly enough to know whether he is good. I like that he’s big.

 

[MarMarSab3]

Hate that we lost Minten

 

[Gallagbi]

My guess- 1st+ Cowan/Minten + Danford

My feelings- worth it.

That would be a ridiculous overpayment for a middle pair D

 

[Leafsfan74]

Boston wo




Boston would never trade for a player like Cowan.

Errr, they drafted Seguin who I would put in a similar mode. They also had Kessel.

Boston has pure snipers too from time to time they have value.

 

[Mess]

GM Brad Treliving and ME love Big, Mean and Mobile Dman when it comes to playoff odds.

Home Run hit by our GM here.

 

[Americanadian]

@Kurtz thoughts?

 

[supermann_98]

Minten if he exceeds expectations will be a serviceable 3rd line C, if he doesn't he'll be a checking 4th line C, which based on his minor league scoring totals will be much more likely

 

[Leafidelity]

We couldnt score on the powerplay last playoffs... are Carlo and Laughton going to fix this problem?

 

[Kiwi]

Agreed

But scoring is airways and attraction.
Sadly it looks like minten though

I'm happy it's him, honestly I think Quillan has as much upside as Minten

You would love big mean D

 

[Advanced stats]

People are really worried about losing Minten?

 

[SprDaVE]

Is Carlo similar to Tanev? I don’t know nearly enough to know whether he is good. I like that he’s big.

Solid defensively, skates well, not much offense, not super physical, blocks shots... yeah pretty much a younger version of Tanev.
