Confirmed Trade: [TOR/BOS] Brandon Carlo (15% retained) for Fraser Minten, cond. 2026 1st round pick (top 5 protected), 2025 4th round pick

[Coaches Coroner]

Curious the price, but I like that it's a player that actually fills a need and seems pretty good. I like that it's not just a rental. Wasn't a fan of the Laughton trade, hope this makes up for it. I'm also not super high on Minten and Cowen or Danford, so factor that in.

The Bruins trading key players being traded to divisional rivals. Never thought this day would come..

Never understood why that should be a problem? They are not making the playoffs this year, why should they care where they trade players other than just getting the best assets back?

 

[GordieHoweHatTrick]

Nice

 

[Michoulicious]

Laughton and Carlo, man that is not good.

Let's see the price, but a 1st for Laughton was laughingly bad.

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

Marchand to Florida, then Carlo to Toronto?
Shrewd moves Boston, very shrewd.

This had better hurt both of these rivals significantly.

Unfortunately for Toronto Carlo has been a disaster this season.

 

[LivingRentFree]

Carlo is a perfect addition to the leafs.

PLEASE LET IT BE ONLY PICKS! Don't send what little decent prospects we have left to Boston!

One of the better deals of the deadline IMO. Compared to the prices being paid for others - a conditional 2027 1st is not bad at all.

 

[I Hate Philadelphia]

Watching Leaf fans realize that Carlo is absolutely horrendous will be extremely enjoyable to watch.

I give it 10mins into game 1 until he turns it over 3x trying to get out of the zone for one breakout.

Carlo is soft as a marshmallow . Give away machine too boot.

tbf he could bounce back in a different situation

you guys picked up lindholm from the ducks and he had god awful analytics.

not saying he is gonna be a top pairer, but if he can be a solid #4 that's not too bad

hopefully this doesn't cost an arm and a leg though

 

[Coaches Coroner]

How has Carlo looked this year?

Needed to ask this before the trade to get a real answer.

 

[bl02]

Carlo is a decent addition but it won't matter. Florida in the playoffs will be on another level.

 

[AvroArrow]

This is actually a phenomenal add for Toronto, immediately fills a positional need. Great add, super pumped about this.

Any word on the return yet ?

Laughton is a 4th liner on a good team.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

Cowan and Danford were supposedly told they would not be traded.

Minten was not

I suspect Minten is in this

 

[smitty10]

Laughton is a 4th liner on a good team.

No he's not lol. He's a 3rd liner on a good team, which is what he is on Toronto.

 

[GordieHoweHatTrick]

Carlo is a decent addition but it won't matter. Florida in the playoffs will be on another level.

Regardless, the games still must be played

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

Not so. If he were any good by his standard or any standard at all Bruins fans would not have been asking for his being traded.

At his best he is a tier below a Slavin but he is far from that currently.

Big get for the Leafs. A big body, lengthens the D group now. They had to do something

Weird that you care so much then.

 

[Dog]

Laughton is a 4th liner on a good team.

If Laughton is on your 4th line then your team is packed!

 

[loosemoose]

Carlo has looked cooked at times this year. He has never had any puck handling or offensive abilities, so he relies a lot on his skating, and he's had enough mileage and injuries that it's starting to go.

 

[RogerRogerr]

Bruins' GM deciding to wait at the last second to get all the attention.

 

[NDiesel]

Super underrated dman the Leafs are getting here - but with the caveat he has been regressing hard this year. Could be because the entire team has gotten worse though
