Much better to be trading a player who is performing well rather than one you want to get rid of. It's also much better to have legit prospects pushing for future jobs. We'll cross that bridge in the summer.

Jesus, did anybody see Sandin's TOI for the 1st playoff game?
Apparently he played about 27 minutes and Keefe benched him for the last 4 minutes because he didn't want to run the score up on the PP
I thought he was a fair pick in the late 20's, but he's surpassed any expectations I had for his D+1 year in a men's league

He's ready for the NHL .
End of the year he will be second pairing it top 4.
Leafs at Knight
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Yup, he's a blue chip. Better numbers than Brannstrom at the same age, while playing top pairing minutes.

I was worried about his speed but he proved me wrong tenfold. He's not the fastest but his skating agility is damn good to make up for it. His skill level is through the roof.
Him and Liljegren really gives the Leafs very good options in the near future.

Brannstrom just oozes potential and I'd take him over Sandin today, but yeah I'm not sure there's a single defensive prospect in the world that had a better season than Sandin this year.
I'd honestly be interested to see a list of defensive prospects that have ever had a better D+1 season (outside of the NHL).
Not going to lie, I was really disappointed when Tampa took Foote but I'm pleased with how things turned out
Morgs
#16 #34 #44 #88 #91
Eh Foote was over Liljegren, I was talking about Sandin.
But I'm just as pleased at how it turned out - Liljegren is looking like a legit two-way stud.
Leafs at Knight
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I'd take him over Sandin also, but I don't think the gap is very big. Brannstrom is talked about all over this board, the only people that talk about Sandin are Leafs fans. It's weird but I'm ok with it. Only Leafs fans talked about Dermott, and then people were wondering who this kid was who was looking good in the NHL.

Yeah, for whatever reason (Leafs) both Sandin and Liljegren are completely overlooked on this board (Leafs) and people just either forget they exist (Leafs), or they just believe their "issues" (Leafs) will prevent them from being anything significant in the NHL.
Both are probably Top-10 defensive prospects in the league today.
Your right, got my years mixed up. Honestly in 2018 I didn't really see anyone I liked

If I'm remembering correctly, I think the only guys I had left above Sandin when we picked were Joseph Veleno, Calen Addison, and Akil Thomas. But I definitely was happy when we picked him.
I was more mad when Thomas went a pick before Durzi and Addison went the pick after. Although it got us Muzzin, I'd love to have Addison/Thomas in our pool as well.

Sandin getting a lot of ice time is not a surprise. He has been playing 26+ minutes for some time now. The same thing with Lilly.
Where did you see that he played 27 minutes?
It is only speculation since those stats are not made publically...but that might change,
The AHL is considering making time on ice data public

Sandin and Liljegren should both be on the team next year.
I'd imagine Gardiner and Hainsey will be gone and potentially Zaitsev.
Rielly - Dermott (Dermott has shown he can play the right side. Put him with our best defenceman).
Muzzin - Liljegren (the steady vet with the rookie that shockingly has developed into more of a two way defenseman than an offensive defenceman)
Sandin - 'Steady Veteran' (Ennis type signing)
Rosen

Even if they both play next year they will be exempt.
Both couldn’t play more than 9 games this year to remain protected

Lake Erie putting a Columbus-like beatdown on Syracuse. It will sting that much more if Syracuse is swept out of the first round by the team that didn't even make it in the playoffs until they beat us in the last game of the season, and the affiliate of the parent team that did it to their parent team.
Up 2-0 in the series after a pair of 5 goal efforts...
If all things go well, we could have the Leafs affiliate up against the Columbus affiliate while the Leafs go up against Columbus... With both beating a higher seed to get there. That would be something.

It's in the Sandin thread on the prospects board, playing a ton during the regular season is one thing, eating those sorts of minutes during the playoffs is another thing entirely, especially with more experienced D on that Marlies team

Thanks. It is pretty amazing Sandin is getting that kind of ice time in big moments.
