Why isn't Sandin getting a better shot?

It’s time for Dermott to go and for sandin to play more

The passing of time was not kind to this post.

Hahahaha come on man.
The guy finally records a point in his 10th game and we are going to crown him?
He has absolutely no business playing over lehtonen or sandin.

He's baaaaack

 

[Gallagbi]

Wonder who is out

Wonder who is out

Logically I am only guessing Dermott.
Doubting Reilly or Muzz

 

[All Mod Cons]

Probably go7 D.

I think Sandin could potentially play a big role for us considering how badly the powerplay has been struggling. He’s always be an extremely effective PP QB considering his high IQ and shooting instincts. Morgan Rielly has been a disaster recently, so it makes sense for Sandin to get a shot there. Really hoping that is how we utilize him.

He was great tonight

He was great tonight

Only caught the 1st but he was solid.

 

[BertCorbeau]

So mobile and you can see the smarts he has.

I saw a slap shot from the point last night that had mustard on it. I almost fainted.

Certainly a refreshing change from the muffins Rielly lets loose on the PP. We need a defender that can shoot badly. Offensively, our defense is basically not an option.

Not that I want to take away from depth this season, but he's clearly a better option than Dermott going forward.

Sandin played so well last night, wasn't expecting that with how little hockey he's played this year

Can't wait til he has a full time spot.

 

[Stinger8]

I thought all things considered he played well. He is a smart hockey player. Will struggle keeping the front of the net clear needs to be paired with a more physical sort to help in his own end. He is a keeper.

I'm predicting that Sandin takes Dermott's spot and never gives it up. Unfortunately Dermott is not terribly different from the kid who was promoted 4 years ago.

It's an eye opener how Dermott could have a -4 and his most frequent partner Bogosian is a +7. That's a massive 11 goal against swing.

 

[TorontoTrades]

11 goals by the entire D-Core isn't good enough hoping Sandin's offense starts to shine through.

I'm glad he's getting an extended look (assuming Bogosian is out a while)
