The St. Louis Blues acquired Brandon Carlo from the Toronto Maple Leafs during the NHL draft on Saturday, those teams\u2019 latest steps to remake their rosters during an offseason of upheaval.<\/p>

St. Louis sent the Nos. 73 and 76 picks to Toronto for the 29-year-old defenseman.<\/p>\n

Carlo lasted just 88 games with the Leafs after they sent a first-round pick, a fourth-rounder and highly regarded forward prospect Fraser Minten to Boston for him at the deadline<\/a> in March 2025. That was with the previous regime in charge, and general manager Brad Treliving was fired<\/a> two months ago and replaced weeks later<\/a> by John Chayka, and they only got to keep the pick this year because they won the lottery for the No. 1 overall pick.<\/p>\n

This is the third trade of the week for the Blues, who are also in transition as GM-in-waiting Alexander Steen<\/a> is set to take over for seasoned executive Doug Armstrong next week. Armstrong in his final days at the helm has been plenty busy.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday, he traded Jordan Kyrou<\/a> to Washington for fellow forward Connor McMichael, prospect Milton Gastrin and the No. 16 pick, accumulating a league-high four in the first round. On Friday night, he sent two of them to Anaheim<\/a> for 23-year-old Mason McTavish, who is signed through 2031.<\/p>\n

Carlo provides some dependable veteran stability on the right side on defense, especially if the Blues decide to trade Colton Parayko or Justin Faulk as part of their summer overhaul. He is going into the final year of his contract at a salary cap hit of just under $3.5 million.<\/p>

\u201cWe\u2019re excited (Carlo has) got his size and length, his ability to kill plays, his experience,\u201d Armstrong told reporters in Centene, Missouri. \u201cGetting stronger up front and having strong goaltending, we think we\u2019re going to be more competitive than we were last year.\u201d<\/p>\n

Toronto used the third-round picks on Canadian winger Zach Olsen and Swedish defenseman Mans Gudmundsson.<\/p>\n

New Nashville president of hockey operations and GM Chris MacFarland spent his first few weeks on the job largely adding players he was familiar with from his time in Colorado. On Saturday, he added fresh blood from the East by acquiring big, Swedish winger Adam Edstrom in a trade with the New York Rangers.<\/p>\n

The Predators sent the 148th pick in the draft (a fifth-rounder) and the rights to minor leaguer Massimo Rizzo to New York. The Rangers, who also traded Brett Berard to Montreal on Friday, are not expected to tender Rizzo a qualifying offer and would make him an unrestricted free agent.<\/p>
