Trolls are now rushing to the box scores to see if there's a plus or a minus next to Sandin's and Gustafsson's names.

They are resorting to game by game +/- stats now

Sandin is in for a very rough time in Washington, as their stars are over the hill and nearing retirement. Doubt they'll be close to the playoffs until 2027ish.

Wasn't he in the Bouchard/Dobson draft? These players are super young and still developing. Oilers fan hate on Bouchard at times but understand you can't trade a D this young just because he's not yet "perfect". Dubas made a mistake, and it may cost him his job.

This isn't Tolvanen's scenario where team just gave up on him. Dubas got a good deal.

Sounds a lot like the haters and usual suspects in every Karlsson thread eh

They’re literally close to the Playoffs right now.

That is quite the overreaction lol

Good for Sandin, he’d never get this opportunity in Toronto and is/was number #6/7/8 on the depth chart.

All the trolls/leaf haters in here pumping him up must also think very highly of Liljegren.

Not until he's traded.

hed almost be torontos leading scoring dman. calling him a #6-8 is wrong.

why do some leaf fans trash the guy after hes gone.

He averaged 16-17 minutes on the leafs before we acquired McCabe.

Rielly
Giordano
McCabe

Are all above him on the depth chart on the left side. Like I said, I’m glad he’s doing well.

Yeah, i bet if he were on toronto he would be a number 1! IF ONLY he could get a chance on a good team with good defence.

John Carlson is back? That’s new to literally everyone, John Carlson included.

Carlson isn’t back, for anyone who’s actually informed.

It’s questionable whether Carlson will return at all this season.

You look very silly right about now LOL

People playing insider on these forums is hilarious

Was John Carlson in the Capitals lineup when this poster made the statement that

John Carlson is back. Best Sandin can do is 2D.

Even then, you can’t argue he’s good defensively. Maybe average at best.

it’s really that simple.

Considering this post was made before the Capitals last game which Carlson also missed (to go along with the previous 35), no the answer is that Carlson factually was not back at that time. You’re reading too much into it and it’s transparent and foolish.

You said Sandin will be the #1D for the rest of the season.

I stated Carlson was back, and Sandin would at best be a #2. Carlson is back now, but yes, I said it one game early.

If you want to argue semantics, 1 game earlier is much closer than “out for rest of season”.

Wasn't Gus supposed to provide offense to make up for his AHL level defence lol. 1A is not enough..

 

[HarrySPlinkett]

As long as he keeps getting between 60-70% offensive zone starts

He’s 23. You let him get better.

Facts

He'll be traded soon at this rate, Keefe playing guys like Holl over him sometimes.

His icetime in March has been ridiculous.

He was supposed to.

GMs don't tend to get fired for losing trades just because its beneficial to another team or else Dubas would have been fired already for the horrible Kadri trade. Dubas will get fired if the leafs lose in the first round again cause its a results oriented business and no one cares about regular season success if you don't have any playoff success.

 

[Arthur Morgan]

Does every bad player on a bad team go above PPG as a defenseman since joining that team? Is Erik Karlsson a bad player?

are you really trying to compare Sandin to EK?

If you want to argue semantics, 1 game earlier is much closer than “out for rest of season”.

If you want to argue [not] semantics; John Carlson is returning from a very serious injury (skull fracture with arterial damage) and the Capitals are nearly (if not mathematically) eliminated from Playoff contention.

Under the circumstances I’d say it’s definitely possible that reports of the demise of Sandin’s time as Wsh 1D (for this season) may have been greatly exaggerated.
