Bruins could use another Carlo more than one less.

 

[Devilinlillinois]

You sure you wanna do that?

 

[SpeakingOfTheDevils]

Bruins won’t go for this.

They missed Carlo dearly against NYI.

That's the problem. The dude is always injured come playoff time.

Not really his fault when he gets hit in the head

 

[Montecristo]

Not really his fault when he gets hit in the head

Its absolutely his fault. He doesnt go into corners correctly

 

[KovalSNIPE]

Take away the 1st and we might be interested.

 

[Maurice of Orange]

Brandon Carlo is a good defenseman when he is healthy but the concussions he has sustained would probably keep most GM’s away from inquiring to the availability of Carlo.

If Carlo were 100% healthy I wouldn’t do this deal from a Bruins perspective.

We’ve seen too many players have their careers effectively ended because of head injuries, hopefully this isn’t the case for Brandon Carlo’s career.

 

[St Louis515]

How about we ship you Krug back ? you know you miss him.

 

[Smitty426]

More the reason not to trade for him

 

[BruinLVGA]

BARF.

 

[goonybird]

Devils can sign decent defencemen with the 38M in capspace and give up nothing

 

[Hookslide]

HaHa ..........no take backs

The Devils will go after Mayfield Graves Ristolainen with the 28pick. Islanders will have cap and protect issues. Same with Avs. Risto is maybe cheaper and if slotted correctly will flourish.

BARF.

You’re being kind.

off topic, but I want nothing to do with Ristolainen.

I’m very into Ryan Graves, but he will cost less than a first and so will Mayfield. Av’s and Islanders fans will both admit that. Now if we’re talking about trading the Islanders 2nd round pick plus a prospect, I’m in.

This doesn't really make sense from either side.

Bruins need Carlo . . a lot. He's a great shut down dman.

Didn't Zacha just have a breakout season? Him + a late 1st is too expensive for the Devils.

Ill do the 1st NYI pick Zacha, Severson and Nikita for Seth Jones.

 

[MartyOwns]

yeah this doesn't work for either team

 

[HugeInTheShire]

Neither team does this trade, it's bad for everyone

 

[Billdo]

That's the problem. The dude is always injured come playoff time.

He won't have to worry about that for a while with us...

You sure you don't want us to throw in Hughes or Hischier?

Fitzgerald, who probably had more hands on control of the draft than Shero did at the time, was very clearly trying to draft a Carlo clone in 2019. So that's why it makes sense from the Devils standpoint, although I guess I wasn't that familiar with this injury issues.

I don't know a ton about the Bruins' needs, but my thinking is that they'd be reluctant to give Carlo the raise he's entitled to, and Zacha does seem to fit the mold of the type of forward they like with the late first rounder making up for the fact that a healthy Carlo is a more valuable piece than Zacha.
