The Boston Bruins reportedly refused to deal pending UFA Brad Marchand to the Maple Leafs, but were shockingly okay with sending him to Florida. As the trade deadline passed, the Toronto Maple Leafs made two major moves: acquiring Scott Laughton from the Philadelphia Flyers and Boston Bruins defenseman Brandon Carlo.

It would have been completely fair to assume that Toronto Maple Leafs general manager Brad Treliving would keep things relatively quiet at the trade deadline.

Carlo was in the Florida sunshine, convinced he was going to remain a Bruin. The next afternoon, he suited up as a Leaf.

Brandon Carlo was traded to the Toronto Maple Leafs by the Boston Bruins on Friday for forward Fraser Minten, a conditional first-round pick in the 2026 NHL Draft, and a fourth-round pick in the 2025 NHL Draft. Toronto had received the fourth-round pick from the Philadelphia Flyers earlier on Friday in the trade for forward Scott Laughton.

The Flyers have dug themselves a hole, but the team's identity fuels optimism around the possibility of recovering down the stretch.

The Carolina Hurricanes reportedly asked for Mitchell Marner in exchange for Mikko Rantanen at the trade deadline.

Sellers around the NHL from Philadelphia to San Jose, Mikko Rantanen and the defending Stanley Cup champion Florida Panthers were winners at the trade deadline.

Scott Laughton was traded to the Toronto Maple Leafs by the Philadelphia Flyers on Friday for forward prospect Nikita Grebenkin and a conditional first-round pick in the 2027 NHL Draft. The Maple Leafs also acquired a fourth-round pick in the 2025 NHL Draft and a sixth-round pick in the 2027 draft.
