Brandon Carlo had a hand in some bad playoff memories for Leafs fans, while Scott Laughton of Oakville arrives from the Flyers with less recent post-season experience.

Laughton is the heart and soul of the Flyers, but for the betterment of the franchise, and based on their current timeline as a rebuilding organization, the trade had to be done.

According to several reports, from TSN's Chris Johnston and Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman, the Maple Leafs have acquired right-shot defenseman Brandon Carlo from the Boston Bruins. The #leafs are getting Brandon Carlo.

Scott Laughton didn’t require a name tag when he met Max Domi upon joining the Maple Leafs. After all, the two have known each other for almost their whole lives. Acquired from the Philadelphia Flyers on Friday, Laughton on Monday told media in Salt Lake City the story about how he met Domi.

DENVER — Brandon Carlo is eager to make his Toronto Maple Leafs debut. But perhaps more exciting for the now-former Boston Bruins defenseman is getting to skate alongside defenseman Morgan Rielly, with whom he shared many playoff battles with over the years.
