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

Maybe Minten will fit better in Boston?

Win-Win

If things go according to the usual Boston Toronto script Minten will turn out to be the next Patrice Bergeron.

It's not too long ago when theAthletic projected Minten as a 4th line center in our prospect ranking.

Magic potion.

Should've not done the Laughton deal at all and if you still wanted Carlo then trade a 1st and Grebenkin at most. Laughton right now isn't doing anything more than Minten when he played for the Leafs and possibly even less. Should've just kept playing Minten at 3C and see if he could adapt and handle it and if not send him down and wait until next year. Giving up a 1st and Grebs for Laughton is looking increasingly horrible for the Leafs.

Give me a 20 year old Minten who will likely be at least as good as prime Laughton if not better for the next 10 years on the Leafs over a 30 year old center who doesn't seem to excel at anything for us that we paid a heavy price for.

That’s their opinion minten bottoms out at 3c in my opinion the kid is smart defensively sound can shoot the pucc and he’s barely legally an adult ffs

If Berube won't use a player that isn't on the GM.

Matches the eye-test. Really like his fit.

Glad this trade seems to be working out.

Berube is probably the main reason Tre made the deal

 

[Roo]

Solid fit, as expected. Good to see things working so fast. I’m sure he and Mo will get even better with more games. His playoff pedigree will help us too.

He's been excellent, fits like a glove on the team for his role

It's been funny seeing Bruins fans bend over backwards telling us he sucks. Seems like he works just fine as a #4
