The Toronto Maple Leafs made a significant move by acquiring defenseman Brandon Carlo from the Boston Bruins, trading Fraser Minten and a first-round pick in 2026. Carlo's contract, which has an average annual value of $4.1 million and extends for two more seasons, is considered a solid investment. His defensive capabilities and playoff experience make him a valuable addition to the Leafs' defensive lineup as they strive for playoff success. The trade reflects the team's strategy to build a competitive roster long-term rather than making short-term deadline deals.
"Carlo has Stanley Cup Finals experience and has averaged 20:41 per game in his 72 playoff games. He is another 6'5 righty who offers very little with the puck."
"It's a huge price, but unlike most of the recent Leafs deadline acquisitions, Carlo has term on his $4.1 million AAV contract and is signed for another two seasons beyond this."
