Top 5 not bad so basically if leafs fall it could be like number 10 to 15. That's a solid homerun with minton. This is unreal deal.

One of the best trades this year because he's a leaf now.
Would have sucked if the signed somewhere else.
Always trust the fans who have not watched the said player as much

and Leafs get a 6'5" defensively sound RHD, for two years after this one @ a good price... While losing nothing substantial off their roster.

Are you suggesting that leafs fans haven’t watched Carlo? We seen him like 10 times a year and he beats us every game 7.

Carlo isnt what he was maybe a change of scenery he finds himself again. This a good payment from the leafs.

Watch Boston go on a run now and make the playoffs and have to play against marchand and Carlo.
Many leafs fans and literally every non leafs fan thought Minten was nothing special.
he’s likely Kamloops David Kampf.

It would take some serious shenanigans for that first to be a lottery pick

OK so if the Leafs sucked next year and the pick is top 5 they keep it, but if that happened what would Boston get? because it can't be the 2027 1st because that's top 10 protected it can't be the 2028 1st because if the 2027 is top 10 then it probably slides to 2028.
so what would it be?

He does come off as a good guy. Hope he doesn’t get his bell rung again which has really thrown him off what he could’ve been.
Leaf fans will love him on nights you don’t know he’s out there. Nights you hear his name a lot can get pretty rough

Carlo is a good kid. Unfortunately he’s taken a lot of bad hits and his game isn’t the same. He’s been abysmal this year.
Because they were (unless you meant the 2025 4th-rounder sent by the Leafs).

Even if it's ln the 20s you can find some gems there. 1st round picks are the gold standard.

Sweet deal for Toronto. Exactly the type of player they need. No real holes in their lineup that I see.

Yeah, that one year we had him. I still have a puck he flipped over the glass from before a game in the 03-04 season
As a Leaf fan, I have such mixed feelings about this deal.
On the plus side, I think if you took all of the pieces on TSNs trade bait board, Brandon Carlo at $3.5m with another 2 full years remaining would probably be the best possible addition to the Maple Leafs lineup, both short term and long term. They already have an excellent shutdown pair with McCabe-Tanev; and he should be an excellent partner for Morgan Rielly. He's on the right side of 30 (which is becoming a growing problem for the Leafs D). It also gives them a ton of flexibility with 2 bonafide right shot shut down defencemen.
Yes, he's having a down year and has fallen down the lineup a little bit; but he's been good enough for long enough that I think there's sufficient reason to believe this year is an outlier. Zadorov perhaps not the world's best partner for him.
To get him for another 2 years at just $3.5m -- to me that's a real win. As a UFA, he's probably be looking in the $5m to $6m range.
On the downside, if you assume that they resign both Marner and Tavares, the Leafs are likely still going to have a stuggle filling out the depth of the lineup next year. Havign a guy like Minten on an ELC could go a long way to delivering excess value.
They've also done a pretty substantial number on their future draft capital, which will of course likely continue to be needed as they shop for additions.
