When Boston Bruins general manager Don Sweeney traded some key players at the trade deadline back in March, little did many people envision a deal with the Toronto Maple Leafs. Even more head-scratching was Sweeney sending defenseman Brandon Carlo to their heated division rivals.
The return for Boston was a first-round draft pick this upcoming summer and prospect Fraser Minten. He was seen as one of the top prospects in the Maple Leafs system, who had a short stint in the NHL. It was surprising that Toronto parted ways with him, but the Black and Gold are seeing the results they hoped they would.
