Where should Rasmus Sandin play?

Before the Maple Leafs training camp started, it very much seemed like Rasmus Sandin, the Leafs 2018 first-round pick, would be loaned back to his SHL club, Rögle BK. Sandin, unlike Timothy Liljegren last year, played with Rögle in their preseason annual tournament in Germany. In that and some other preseason play, he was relied on as a top pairing defender, and he looked very up to the task, at least against lesser competition.

And then came the trip to Canada, the rookie tournament and the training camp scrimmages, where Sandin looked good.
