When Boston Bruins general manager Don Sweeney made some tough deals at the trade deadline in March, one of them involved defenseman Brandon Carlo. The big defenseman had been a staple on the backend for the Black and Gold. It wasn't that he was traded, but more as to where.
Carlo was traded to the Toronto Maple Leafs, and part of the return was prospect Fraser Minten. Maple Leafs fans have been high on Minten, but Toronto's front office was fine with shipping him to a division rival.
Minten made the Bruins roster out of training camp, and truth be told, he has been a huge part of the success Boston has had this season, including during their six-game winning streak.
