Blues Make Big Trade for Carlo

The St. Louis Blues pulled off another blockbuster trade, acquiring veteran defenseman Brandon Carlo from Toronto in exchange for two third-round picks, adding depth to their blue line as their GM prepares to change next week. Carlo, a 29-year-old whose contract expires after this season, brings experience and a cap hit under $3.5 million. This marks the Blues’ third trade this week, following moves for McMichael and McTavish. Toronto, which originally acquired Carlo from Boston, used the draft picks to select a Canadian winger and a Swedish defenseman. Meanwhile, the Hurricanes are scrambling to secure exclusive talks with free-agent defenseman John Carlson, sending a late-round pick and forward rights to Anaheim. Elsewhere, Nashville’s new GM landed a Swedish winger from New York in a swap involving a fifth-round pick and minor league rights, while the Rangers traded another player to Montreal and the Avalanche and Bruins swapped young forwards.
