Sandin might have to play the right side for the next while. While the idea admittedly sounds risky, it could also work out well enough if he's paired with Giordano or Muzzin? Alternatively, I suppose Giordano could also be the defender that finds himself slotted on his offhand side.
They used Rielly a fair bit on RD this playoff

Those are possibilities. Guess it depends on whether they resign Boosh. My concern is we are too soft and not big enough with 44, 37, 38 and 78 in our top 6.
I imagine Lyubushkin can play a bigger role - while earning a better salary - on a lesser team. Much will depend upon what he's ultimately looking for in a team. I just can't easily see management giving up on Sandin for much older options in Giordano and Muzzin. Your concerns do have merit though.

Can't rule out this option either. My concern there might be that while the playoffs are the grandest stage, the regular season is a much longer stage. Not sure how comfortable the coaching staff might be with putting the team's top defenceman on his offhand side for the season?

You need to watch more hockey besides the leafs. Lots of cement head D out there occupying spots.

I watch A LOT of games because I live din the west I get to watch games you are probably asleep for because your late game is on at around 8 PM here, late games don't exist here.

Justin is the dumbest D man in the league, I'd rather put an actual rock in his spot

There are few posts here about how he onky signed because hes from toronto, some because he made his money and some on Dubas didnt sign him or should get credit, that any gm could have signed him from toronto coukd have signed up to this deal



I criticize him more than anyone. Hence is more the reason to praise.
If you are going to criticize him for his mistakes, you should also praise when he does do something positive
Your right. I whole heartedly thank Dubas for accepting such a good deal that Gio offer him.
;)

Holl is not worth a late 1st. LOL. Plus he's only got 1 year left.

We'd give him away to clear the salary.
 
I cannot complain about this deal,even if it goes bad he can easily be demoted and cap recovered.

Dubas did well but his track record says differently so be afraid,be very afraid of what signings are coming.

Lol I’m in BC
 
I think you’re too extreme and emotionally tied to your perception and views on certain players.
Holls not going to ever be confused for a elite high IQ player but there’s plenty of guys much worse making similar or more money employed on nhl blue lines

it takes a long time for me to get to the level of distain I have for Holl as a player

this has been 3 years in the making this didn't happen over night
