Both just traded, longtime Boston teammates Charlie Coyle and Brandon Carlo sat by each other on the plane ride to Colorado.

BOSTON — After a day that saw the Bruins dump so many key parts of their lineup and their culture before the trade deadline on Friday, their short-term future is bleak and their long-term prospects are uncertain.

Carlo was in the Florida sunshine, convinced he was going to remain a Bruin. The next afternoon, he suited up as a Leaf.

Bruins forward Charlie Coyle was traded from Boston to the Colorado Avalanche for Casey Mittelstadt on deadline day.

While GM Don Sweeney may have angered some fans with his trade of captain Brad Marchand, team CEO Charlie Jacobs threw his support behind his hockey operations and the retool/rebuild that Sweeney initiated on Friday with the trades of Marchand, Charlie Coyle and Brandon Carlo.

Bruins defenseman Brandon Carlo is being traded to the Toronto Maple Leafs as the Bruins clean house before the NHL trade deadline, Bruins general manager Don Sweeney announced on Friday.

The Boston Bruins officially began a new era in their franchise history at the March 7 trade deadline. Charlie Coyle, Brandon Carlo, and former captain Brad Marchand were all dealt to new teams in the Bruins' fire sale.
