The best young defenseman in the league for a 1st and Gustaffson? wtf
Agreed, good bit of work here by Dubaseven if it’s the last pick of the 1st round that’s still a great asset for TOR.
I am not confused.Not sure why all leaf fans are confused. It's clear Sandin isn't happy being off the roster and he is the odd man out with the mccabe trade
We have Rielly, McCabe and Gio on our LD, who does he displace over the next couple seasons? He's not someone you keep as "depth" - if you don't have use for him now better to get the 2023 1st.
After they brought in McCabe I honestly thought they would move Sandin. They weren't going to play him anyway.Did not see this, at all.
Sandin was clearly going to be the odd man out barring injuries on the blueline so Dubas sends him somewhere he can play but then brings in another LD. Ah, a cheaper, more experienced LD.
Yea but dude is a defensive liability. He’s like Reilly-lite.He's had a really good season in WAS.
Leafs also needed to clear cap space and he's cheaper than Sandin.
Does everything ok/average (skate, shot, vision, IQ). Does nothing high end/elite.What's the report on Sandin?
Yeah toffoliWho's TT ? Tyler Toffoli ?
Since Carlson went down Gustafsson has basically been the Capitals 1D and Powerplay driver (though you would probably do a better job Orlov was their 1D once Carlson went down). He's been great offensively but defensively is not always great.Gus has been pretty solid this season in WAS. He can hold the 7D duty or jump in on the third pair and play PP minutes.
I think this is good business for TOR. They clear some cap space, recoup an asset, and still have a warm body NHLer.
I’m guessing that’s who the poster was referring to but I doubt itWho's TT ? Tyler Toffoli ?
When ppl were discussing Sandin in a Chychrun deal...he wasn't considered "1st round" value.Hmmm. Leaf fans were saying that Sandin was a top 4 guy just a day ago. Seems like a fair deal for both sides.
Very weird move from Toronto pov.
Unless Dubas use that pick in another trade, it's not a good move IMO.
If he does trade back the 1st for a better now defender that's a big win.
Gustafsson can't defend. He's no better then Sandin.
I honestly think they got good value for Sandin. He's only ever played 3rd pair minutes and he doesn't have impressive production.I guess it's better than letting sandin rot behind other vets and lower his value in the future, so it kind of makes sense.
He’s been great tbh.Gustafson having a huge year
