WTF happened last night?

 

[LeafChief]

I love Carl Grundstrom.

 

[Fogelhund]

WTF happened last night?

Providence got great goal tending, Marlies didn't... There will be games like this.

 

[Critical13]

In case it was missed. I didn't see Sandin make a single check that impressive last year in the Soo.

WTF happened last night?

The team is no longer stacked but Dubas is bringing in players to help Keefe with the struggle, he did this before when they struggled

• Klimchuk
• Carcone
• Gagner
• Corrado

Holy shit!

• Carcone
• Gagner
• Corrado

To be fair, Corrado was 100% Gilman since it was an AHL deal. The Carcone and Gagner thing was more just their GM's doing player's a favour. I am excited to see Carcone, and Gagner... well we do not need offensive help and he's a black hole defensively who will likely suck at center (which is where he is going to have to play now) so I do not even know if he is going to be good for the Marlies. Klimchuk could have also easily been Gilman as well.

I will say, I do like the moves the minor moves. I wish we could have got a high pick out of Leivo, or just kept him, but Babcock killed his value. Dubas did a good job at getting a younger prospect who could easily be NHL ready next year though, especially with 0.5 years to develop with the Marlies. If he can develop his defensive game (since he will likely be on the 4th line) while still being effective offensively, Carcone would be a better Leipsic for our team.

Just need to work some magic turn Jooris, Subban and McAdam into better partners for Sandin and Kaskisuo.

Don't forget that Sandin's 18 years old in the AHL.

Statistically, it looks like he's been better than Lilly. Don't know usage though, game I watched Liljegren played much harder minutes.

I really think Sandin best comparable is Dumba

 

[leafers]

Sandin really reminds me of Niklas Kronwall.

 

[Knies iT]

Liljegren faces tougher competition but that's been changing recently, especially with Lilj out as Keefe has been relying more on Sandin. Apparently Dubas is very involved in Sandin's ice-time.

In my opinion its not close and Sandin is the organization's best prospect. I'm amazed at how complete this kids game is for an 18 year old in the AHL. He is a workhorse.

Sandin has played the minutes Liljegren played last year.

Liljegren is playing tougher minutes this year but Sandin looks to be doing better in the role Liljegren had last year than Liljegren did.

That's a confusing sentence.

Basically, Sandin looks damn good!

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Sandin is a bit more like Dermott in that he doesn't quite have holes in his game, nor the elite attributes of a Rielly/Liljegren. higher floor and he looks tremendous now because he has a lot of strengths, but I don't think he has that elite #1D upside. still a fantastic pick, especially from where he was drafted. I also really like that him, Dermott, and Liljegren all play with a physical edge

 

[BertCorbeau]

Sandin definitely has a more polished game, the only thing really holding him back is strength/speed (and even that's not far off).

I'm wondering if we really could see both Sandin and Lily crack the line up next season as a bottom pair... Sandin gets the PK time, Lily gets the 2nd PP unit duties...

 

[Menzinger]

Sandin Looks like he’ll get a shot at the Leafs before Liljegren

 

[Judas Tavares]

SDA 2 assists
McGregor 1+1

 

[Cor]

Are we allowed to be hyped over SDA again?

As much as I'd love that, how would that effect the expansion draft? Would they be eligible to be chosen if they played next year?

[Cor]

The way it’s going. Scott and Woll might both be too 5 among goalie prospects by the end of the seasom

The other team be like "Not kuhlman..."
