At The Draft.

Toronto Trades
NRobertson
Liljegren
Grebyonkin (KHL)
1st Round Pick 2024

Washington Trades
Carlson
3rd Round Pick 2024 (Bruins Pick)


Capitals in not a complete rebuild but retool to get younger will be on the table imo for next season, this type of trade proposal will do this, Carlson has been an outstanding Defenceman over the years for Washington but with his age and probably still having value this proposal makes sense.

Leafs will be focusing on improving Defense and Carlson gives them more offence on the Blueline, as well as veteran leadership, players like Edmundson and Lyubushkin are tough hitting Defencemen that I believe Toronto also tries to resign which will give a better balance for next season.



Thoughts ?

As much as Carlson has been a great defenceman for a very long time now, he's showing his age a bit. This isn't a deal I'd do.

I see this as a substantial overpayment.
Carlson is already 34 years old and recently played his 1,000th game.
His skills and ability will do nothing but deteriorate over the coming years.
Liljegren, Robertson, Grebyonkin and a 1st is a large portion of Leafs youth for a guy that has two or three left in his career.
Not something I would be happy to see Trevling do.
