The Rangers have sent Soucy to the Islanders in exchange for a 2026 third-round pick:<\/p>\n<p>Soucy, 31, is a stay-at-home defender who is known for blocking shots and throwing hits. This season he has eight points in 46 games to go along with 66 blocks and 71 hits.<\/p>\n<p>This deal gives the Maple Leafs a better idea of what a potential Brandon Carlo trade could bring back as the team decides whether to hold onto certain assets or retool and get some more assets back.<\/p>\n<p>Carlo has been fine, but not the elite shutdown defender Toronto needs especially with Chris Tanev out. Acquired last year for a first-round pick and Fraser Minten, if Toronto were to get something back it has to at least have some value behind it.<\/p>\n<p>Toronto lacks any real strong assets and even if they were to think about making a trade to bring in a body, at least having some more assets to work with come either the deadline or draft time is crucial.<\/p>\n<p>Carlo and Soucy are pretty much cut from the same cloth though Carlo is a tad younger but doesn&#8217;t get as many points as Soucy but both offer shutdown defense and a great knack for blocking shots.<\/p>\n<p>For any team looking for a cheap defender to shore up their back end, they could very well look to Toronto and Brandon Carlo; especially if they decide to wave the white flag.<\/p>\n<p>But it will cost them at least a third-round draft pick and if not?
