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

On trade deadline day, the Boston Bruins dealt defenseman Brandon Carlo to the Toronto Maple Leafs. While it was known that the Bruins were listening to offers for Carlo, it was surprising to see him end up on one of Boston's biggest rivals.

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.

Former Boston Bruins defenseman and new Toronto Maple Leafs player, Brandon Carlo, didn’t see this one coming. After spending his entire NHL career with the Boston Bruins, the veteran blueliner was dealt to the rival Toronto Maple Leafs ahead of Friday’s 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.
