Kypreos: “On my first Real Kipper trade board on sportsnet.ca, I did have a Toronto Maple Leaf, (Brandon) Carlo. Of course, there was a lot of speculation about what they could do with (Nick) Robertson or (Max) Domi or whoever.
But to me, Carlo is still a very attractive player for other teams. “
Justin Byrne: “Let me, let me read a little bit here. There’s a strong suggestion that Toronto-Buffalo, we’re talking about putting Carlo in the J.J. Peterka trade and then moving Carlo to a Carlo-for-Bowen Byram type of deal in the summer. Bowen Byram. Oh, would that be a nice change of pace here? What’s going on?”

Kypreos: “Yes, someone got cold feet.”
Sam McGee: “I imagine Kevin Adams would say, I can’t trade another young guy.”
Kypreos: “Yeah, I can’t confirm or deny that, but it’s been suggested to me that maybe even the Maple Leafs aren’t prepared to do that.”
McGee: “Yeah, interesting.”
Byrne: “It would be nice to have a different look, something aggressive…”
Kypreos: “Well, I’ll tell you what it’s going to do, it’s going to take some pressure off Morgan Rielly, and that’s what Byram would do, right?”
Bourne: “Place him better, right? Put him in…”
Kypreos: “Or, or eventually, you go back to Morgan Rielly and say, man, it’s been over 10 years, how about starting over somewhere else? Not here.”
