The Athletic's NHL insider, Chris Johnston, just ranked this blue liner ninth on the trade bait board ahead of the trade deadline on March 6.
«Traded from Boston to Toronto ahead of last year's deadline, Carlo is among a small handful of players who could bring the struggling Leafs back surplus value in a shakeup deal,» Johnston wrote in a piece that was published on Wednesday. «Of course, they'd also be immediately looking for another sturdy defender who can patrol the right side if they elect to go down that road.
He continued:
«Carlo is a 6-foot-5 defenseman who can kill penalties and help shut the game down. He's not overly physical, but he's no stranger to big-game hockey with 85 career playoff games on his resume. He's signed for one season beyond this one, too.»
