Well done sir

Perhaps I don’t know enough about Sandin, but is his upside actually on par with those players you have listed as whom you’d seek after? It seems that you’re listing players who have higher upside than Sandin which in turn makes it not so appealing to the other teams.A similarly regarded and recently drafted C/LW, RD or goalie prospect who has their path currently blocked but who has shown skill and ability but can’t crack the line up full time due to roster construction or holes in their game that still need polishing.
No idea of all situations and I’m sure all these guys have wildly varying values so don’t roast me over me being a “dumb leaf fan” and suggesting 1 for 1 any of these, but something like knight in Florida, one of LA’s forwards, frost or Hart in PHI, Kravstov or maybe Kakko or laf if the rags sour on one of those top picks and leafs add….
Something where the upside is still similar and so is the risk, but the position is different.
As a fan of the Reign and the Leafs I have a lot of interest in Cal Petersen. He looked solid with Ontario and prior to slumping this season was poised as Quick's successor. I didn't really think the Kings would entertain moving him, but some fans on here have indicated otherwise and I thought it was worth gauging his value.
The Leafs need to move Mrazek to entertain this and I personally value Petersen higher but he does have a more established career and is a decent rebound candidate as a backup for Quick. It's debatable how much more Petersen is worth given they both struggled last season but given age and injury history I'm more than happy to give up the more valuable asset with him.
Thoughts?

Rasmus Sandin
I hate moving Sandin and value him quite a bit more than a 2nd but with our depth at the position it appears management may not see him slotting in right away, making him expendable.
