When the Boston Bruins traded defenseman Brandon Carlo at the trade deadline back in March, he was sent to the Toronto Maple Leafs. Despite making a deal with a heated division rival, the return was too good for Bruins general manager Don Sweeney to pass up.
In return for the big blueliner, the Bruins got prospect Fraser Minten and a first-round draft pick this season, which is top 5 protected. That is important to note because the Maple Leafs are in an unfamiliar spot at the bottom of the Eastern Conference standings.
Now there is plenty of time for Toronto to turn things around and climb back into the playoff race, but since their struggles, there have been trade rumors surrounding them.
