Carlo was in the Florida sunshine, convinced he was going to remain a Bruin. The next afternoon, he suited up as a Leaf.

Brad Marchand wasn't the only player traded by the Boston Bruins on deadline day, as defenseman Brandon Carlo was also dealt to the Toronto Maple Leafs.

Brandon Carlo delivered in his Maple Leafs debut, even though the team allowed 7 goals against to the Colorado Avalanche in the team's 3rd consecutive loss.

The Maple Leafs have pulled off a massive trade, acquiring Brandon Carlo from their division rival Bruins at the NHL Trade Deadline.

Scott Laughton and Brandon Carlo were acquired by the Toronto Maple Leafs at the 2025 NHL Trade Deadline and made their debuts with their new team Saturday, during a 7-4 loss to the Colorado Avalanche.

Heading into the deadline, the Toronto Maple Leafs had holes at centre and on the right side of their blue line. For one night at least, those will both be plugged.
