That was with the previous regime in charge, and\u00a0general manager Brad Treliving was fired\u00a0two months ago and\u00a0replaced weeks later\u00a0by John Chayka, and they only got to keep the pick this year because they won the lottery for the No. 1 overall pick.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p><span>This is the third trade of the week for the Blues, who are also in transition as\u00a0GM-in-waiting Alexander Steen\u00a0is set to take over for seasoned executive Doug Armstrong next week.

On Friday night, he sent two of them\u00a0to Anaheim\u00a0for 23-year-old center Mason McTavish, who is signed through 2031.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>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. Carlo is going into the final year of his contract at a salary cap hit of just under $3.5 million.<\/span><\/p>\n<div><span>Related<span>: <\/span><\/span>On Day 2 of NHL draft, Bruins select seven players, deal Fabian Lysell to the Avalanche<\/div>\n<p><span>\u201cWe\u2019re excited (Carlo has) got his size and length, his ability to kill plays, his experience,\u201d Armstrong told reporters in Centene, Mo. \u201cGetting stronger up front and having strong goaltending, we think we\u2019re going to be more competitive than we were last year.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/bostonrelocationinsider.com\/?p=3753\">Savory matchups, high stakes in World Cup knockout rounds<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span>Toronto used the third-round picks on Canadian winger Zach Olsen and Swedish defenseman Mans Gudmundsson.<\/span><\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n<h4>Hurricanes get John Carlson\u2019s rights<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><span>Reigning\u00a0Stanley Cup champion Carolina jumped the queue to talk to John Carlson before the 36-year-old defenseman can become an unrestricted free agent on Wednesday.
