Episode Details

The Toronto Maple Leafs’ blockbuster trade for Brandon Carlo in 2025—sending a first-round pick, fourth-round pick, and prospect Fraser Minten to the Bruins—is now being called one of the worst deals in franchise history. With Carlo’s defensive decline and the Leafs’ recent trade to the Blues for two third-round picks, the fallout is severe: the team now owes two first-round picks in 2027 and 2028, and Minten, who’s scoring at a solid pace, is gone. It’s a painful reset under new GM John Chayka, exposing how quickly NHL trades can backfire—and how much future draft capital hangs in the balance.
