It's not very often that the Toronto Maple Leafs and Boston Bruins make trades. Last year at the trade deadline, Bruins' general manager Don Sweeney had a fire sale for his team that was spiraling down the Eastern Conference standings. The Maple Leafs came calling and Sweeney answered.
Toronto wanted defenseman Brandon Carlo, and if Sweeney was going to make a deal, the return was going to have to be worth it. The Maple Leafs ended up sending prospect Fraser Minten and a 2026 conditional first-round pick to the Bruins for Carlo. Also included was a fourth-round pick in the 2025 Draft.
