The Toronto Maple Leafs traded veteran defenseman Brandon Carlo to the St. Louis Blues on Saturday for two third-round draft picks, ESPN reported. The move marks the fourth trade completed by new Maple Leafs general manager John Chayka since he took over the team.
Carlo, 29, is entering his 11th NHL season. He recorded seven assists in 55 games last season while averaging 19 minutes and 21 seconds of ice time per game. In 692 career NHL games split between the Maple Leafs and Boston Bruins, he has accumulated 29 goals and 90 assists.
The Maple Leafs acquired Carlo at the 2025 trade deadline from the Bruins in exchange for a conditional 2026 first-round pick, a fourth-round pick and center Fraser Minten. The conditional pick converts to a 2028 selection after Toronto won the draft lottery and selected first overall. Carlo has one year left on his contract with a $3.485 million cap hit.
The Blues added him to the right side of their blue line alongside Colton Parayko and Logan Mailloux.
