Toronto Maple Leafs Draft and Develop Potential Star Defenseman

The Toronto Maple Leafs drafted Rasmus Sandin 29th overall in the 2018 NHL Entry Draft.

Despite barely being a first-rounder, Sandin immediately jumped to the top of the Toronto Maple Leafs prospect charts, and has stayed there ever since, as the team has slowly developed him into one of the best prospects in the game.

An incredibly intelligent player who is good at everything and great an nothing, Sandin wasn’t ever really considered a blue-chip star-in-the-making prospect because he lacks that one skill that all superstars seem to have.

The thing is, however, having watched him in the NHL now for a while – it might just be his brain that is elite.
