In this video, I go over what the Toronto Maple Leafs did at this year’s trade deadline in acquiring Brandon Carlo and Scott Laughton. I use advanced stats, contextual information and salary cap analysis to break down all the trades!

Great stats and analysis Steve.. Great video!! Thanks for your input and insight on the Leafs 😀
They got better but is it enough? Not convinced. But they have a chance if their stars come through for a change
You laid it out better that TSN IMO…. Thanks !
I feel confident that this line up can take a legit run at it. Great job Steve
You're killing it, Steven
Getting Carlo looks like the big gain for the Leafs; less sure about How about Laughton… When Max Pacioretty returns (if he does), he could centers Nylander and Robertson…
Steveeeeee
interesting but numbers don't always drive success first it's beniot over myers second no way do you play domi with mathews again and third where's pontas i believe he slots in before robertson lots of interesting decisions to make here lets see what berube does great vids haven't seen you around much post more plz
Carlo was literally the top of my wish list. You sold me big time on Pageau. Ticked all the boxes. Hopefully Domi turns into playoff Domi and is good enough that we can slide Laughton to the wing
Another awesome video! Looking forward to the next! Thanks!
carlo and laughton for 2 1sts and 2 B level prospects is a steep price, given that the leafs dont have a lot of good young prospects coming up besides cowan
Welcome Back!!!! I missed the last few vids, so I know it's been a couple weeks but good to see you again!
Always a better day when a new Downtown video comes out……Considering. It was a very strong sellers market and salary cap restrictions, Trev did great……the dream would’ve been to add a big middle six LW or another 3C C and move Laughton to the wing….hopefully the Leafs can get early season Patches back for the playoffs….
I like the moves totally agree about your comments regarding the future. Winning window is now
Keep up the good work young man. Nobody breaks it down like you do.
2 nice additions to the Leafs roster! Size and grit on defense, a right shot, defensive-minded player, and a much needed 3rd line center with sandpaper! Nice work Tre. GO LEAFS GO!!!!
The Leafs play Florida 3 more times this season, beginning on Thurs March 13th! These games will determine whether or not the Leafs can push back, add physicality, and beat Florida in the Playoffs? GO LEAFS GO!!!!
I'm a fan of what they did. like everyone has said, they filled the holes they could fill at the deadline.
Like to see AM with Marner to get Mattie firing on all cylinders again offensively…
Always great videos. Love the data.
Laughton and Carlo are great additions! Prospects and picks are always question marks, never know what they’ll develop into. Great moves for an “all-in” year
you gotta give to get, i think the Leafs did fine with the trades, i was saying all afternoon BRAAADD get Carlo and at 2:50 pm when TSN announced it i was a happy dude. i was hoping to keep Minten but i guess the team seen more upside in Cowan,hope he turns out to be good.
IM very surprized we didnt see Tanev as a leaf. I understand why. Youd have to pay for retention to get him down to 1.8 then probably more retention to get him down to 900k to fit this player in to have it make sense. so by the time they were done thats alot of draft picks out the door for a rental. i expect they sign him in the offseason.
Leafs are OUT in the first again! The CORE is ROTTEN!!
There is no question that Tree paid a high price for both gets, but Carlo is simply better than guys like Schenn & Lyubushkin all day long. He is really tall, long, heavy, with a really good stick & is outstanding defensively. Excellent on the PK & moves well for a big man. For 3 playoff runs at 3.5M aav he's worth the price imo. I'm genuinely sorry to see Minten go. Laughton has drive, tenacity, physicality & has legit offence as a 30-40 point guy who plays reliable D. He's good on the PK.
Tree paid a high price in a sellers market, but the team is definitely better. I agree with Mr. Brown. Play Domi at RW with Matthews. He was most effective there last year. Marner makes JT better with McMann & Laughton between the defensively improved Robertson & the dangerous Bill Nye. If things don't gel for some reason, you can also move the 'Swiss army knife' Jarnkrok up in the lineup. 20 games left to get familiar with the new adds.
My only qualm with the deadline is the same as yours … Laughton isn't a real centre. But I am hoping the spot duty he's shown with a star player will replicate with WIlly when they shake their lineup up for depth. The only bad news about the deadline is it hightlighted the earlier failure not to just sign Derek Roy instead of the smattering of lesser contracts that didn't work out (including Hakenpaw (sp?) which is an abject failure). Overall I'm excited.
This could be the best leafs defense in the last 25 years easy .or during the pat Quinn years .i actually think the leafs defense for the first time ever have a better defense than offense .thats what picking up brandon carlo means .very very underrated player.
NatStat also has Carlo with the lowest O-zone start% of all qualified dmen in the league (~300 mins minimum)
Laughton is 30 year old trash and worth nowhere near a 1st round pick. Leafs got fleeced again. Laughton looks like Beetlejuice, say it 3 times.
I love the acquisitions, but I worry about our lack of prospects and draft capital going into future trade deadlines. We don’t have a lot of assets to offer sellers going forward
Let's gooo love the content give moreeee, where have u been go leafs go

Too bad Marner didn't waive his no trade clause Rantanan is just as good as Marner and cheaper at $12 million. Marner will be asking for $14 million or more.
Dang
Fraser Minton is a toss up whether he will be good in the NHL.
