Player Discussion Jake Sanderson (D) PART 3

[Larionov]

Brilliant, why didn’t anyone think of just signing RD for 4 mill??

This is so true - it's easy to say, "sign a guy". What's harder is to determine exactly who is available in that salary band, and with term that makes sense. The list starts getting short very quickly. Right hand shot defencemen who can actually play in the league are hard to find - it's why Cody Ceci still has a gig and will likely be able to play a few more seasons. You can safely assume that Staios would have preferred to sign a guy like Jensen in free agency, and move Chychrun to recover a first round pick, but the reality is that players like Jensen are under contract with someone and require moving a significant asset to acquire...

Sanderson is a top 15 nhl defenseman. He has been in the top 15 for the second season now. Fight me on that. Guy is brilliant.

Hasn't been this season, was last year

Easily should be, and almost always will.

He’s not that this year, hopefully gets back there.

Imagine Sandy was the one playing with Jensen.

He's had some growing pains but if he had a solid top 4 partner he would be playing way better.

We are very, very lucky to have both him and Chabot back there. That's an amazing 1-2 punch on the left side.

I would go out a limb; definitely after the break

I mean like RIGHT AFTER the break

I mean like RIGHT AFTER the break

That would be the earliest for a 4-6 week injury.
