Toronto Maple Leafs: Rasmus Sandin Dominating in AHL So Far
Since being cut from the Toronto Maple Leafs, Rasmus Sandin has been dominant with the Marlies.
When the 19-year-old was sent down by the Toronto Maple Leafs, a lot of people thought it was the wrong decision. It was most likely a blessing in disguise.
If the Toronto Maple Leafs kept Sandin with the team, it would’ve burned one year of his entry-level contract. He also wouldn’t have got much playing time being on the third pairing.
So far, Sandin has been dominating with the Marlies putting up seven points in seven games (as a defenseman).
Of course he’s probably ready for an NHL gig, but do you really want him playing third pairing minutes?
I don’t.
