Nice. Very Nice. We got massive value of Gustafsson, thank you for your service.

 

[pman25]

I like the acquisition, Sandin is a good one

 

[Brian23]

He's apparently been killing it, and he's only 22, 23 in March.

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

I like it. Young but proven D with a decently high ceiling.

Also sold Gustafsson at the right time

 

[twabby]

Killer trade. Holy moly

 

[JayBeagleFanAccount]

lets f***ing go what a trade for us

 

[John Price]

was hoping gus would be retained. caps fire sale in progress. can't really fault them for doing it

 

[Langway]

I mean, promising to be sure but does this take them out on Chychrun? Would they really put their own first rounder in play?

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

Interesting, I dont know much about him

 

[twabby]

I mean, promising to be sure but does this take them out on Chychrun?

I sure hope so! Sandin is much more of the type they need.

 

[hb12xchamps]

I can’t see them trading their own first this year. Maybe they didn’t like the price on Chychrun and switched their focus to Sandin instead?

 

[Misery74]

You think he can push McIlrath out of the lineup?

 

[HTFN]

You think he can push McIlrath out of the lineup?

I was optimistic but then I read he's only 22

so probably not

 

[g00n]

but I thought Gmbm sucked at trades?

 

[John Price]

I am cautiously optimistic about these moves. This team may not be playoff bound this year but they're stocking up for the future. As they should, team old af

 

[Empty Goal Net]

Double-takes galore on that headline!

 

[Hivemind]

This guy is absolutely great in sheltered minutes. Hope he can take the next step, but there's a ton of potential in this trade.

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

2018 29th overall pick. So the value isnt bad for Bostons late pick

 

[Brian23]

You think he can push McIlrath out of the lineup?

They lost Gus, so they've still got an opening and plenty of room for Irwin and Mcllrath to carry our defense.

 

[Ovie's Neighbor]

So confused I thought it was a first and Sundin. It’s just Sundin?

RMNB has it weirdly worded. The Caps traded Gus and Bostons 1st for Sandin. For some reason they've worded it as they traded Gus for Sandin and Boston's first, but that makes no sense.

 

[um]

I've never been that impressed with Sandin but those numbers are impressive. I guess we'll see.

Oh, in that case I’m not sure I love the return.

 

[1specter]

Leaf fan here, this is a really good trade for you guys. Sandin has done well shredding lower competition, is only 22 and he will likely be a top 3-4 guy. His only downside is that he isn't the fastest skater and he gets outmuscled at times, but he's got good IQ to make up for it.

To be honest I have no idea why Dubas did this.
