  • The Toronto Maple Leafs traded defenseman Brandon Carlo to the St. Louis Blues for two third-round picks in the 2026 NHL draft.
  • Carlo was acquired last season from the Boston Bruins in a deal that included a first-round pick.
  • The Maple Leafs also recently selected forward Gavin McKenna with the No. 1 pick in the draft.

The Toronto Maple Leafs have continued their offseason moves by trading defenseman Brandon Carlo to the St. Louis Blues. The deal, announced Saturday, sent Carlo to St. Louis in exchange for a pair of third-round selections in the 2026 NHL Entry Draft.

Carlo's tenure with the Maple Leafs was brief. He was acquired just ahead of last season's trade deadline from the Boston Bruins. That previous trade saw Toronto send a package that included center Fraser Minten and a first-round draft pick to Boston.

During his time with Toronto, the 29-year-old Carlo played in 75 regular-season games, recording 10 assists. He did not register any points in 10 playoff contests. The Maple Leafs received the 73rd and 76th overall picks in the 2026 draft as part of this latest transaction.

This move follows another significant draft selection by Toronto, who took star winger Gavin McKenna with the first overall pick on Friday night. The team continues to reshape its roster as it prepares for the upcoming season.
