Could the Maple Leafs gain an advantage by replacing Brandon Carlo with a physically dominant 6-foot-6 presence?

The Toronto Maple Leafs face a significant void with Brandon Carlo’s long-term injury, potentially opening the door for defenseman Jarred Tinordi. Tinordi, recently cleared after knee surgery, offers the size and physicality Craig Berube values, providing a rugged stopgap option. His availability presents a timely opportunity for the Leafs to add depth to their blueline without immediate trade implications.
