    I hope Toronto's blue line doesn't thin out with injuries but this gives Sandin a chance to step up if it does. I hope it works out for Lehtonen too, he never wowed me on the Leafs but there's talent there. He can still find his footing.

    I assume he asked to be traded somewhere he could play if he was just going to sit on the Leafs' taxi squad but I haven't heard that from anywhere.

    I like how Leafs fans were drooling over him when he was playing overseas before the NHL started back up again and had sugar plumbs dancing in their heads LOL!

    Older dmen that come in rarely make a splash right away if ever. They need time to adjust and learn just like the young D. Just sticking around in year one is a good thing. He still has upside for the future if he sticks around.

    I agree with the Emu here. Unsure how big the breakout will be, but this will be a help for him.

    Part of why he signed with Toronto was that they had playing time available, due to having a poor defense. That didn't happen, as they signed a bunch of extra guys to bolster the depth on the back end. Opportunity is important, and he's got some offensive skills.

    And you guys think he'll get a better shot playing for Torts, ahead of Jones and Werenski???

    No, I think he'll get a better shot playing for Torts rather than being the #7-8 D on team that has Bogosian. I'm looking for him to get into the lineup regularly, and some 2nd PP time.

    Maybe not, but he will get more playoff time than in Toronto!

    I do- even 2nd pp time- third pairing minutes is better than taxi squad. 3 points in 9 games is such a tiny sample size but it also shows he didnt even drop the ball. He actually delivered when gicven an opportunity and was still cut out of the loop. The Gm recognizes a fellow finnish phenom and he brought him over to succeed- 0.5 ppg pace minimum going forward- mark it!

    Or maybe he just wasn't good enough to stick in the NHL? Time will tell how he makes out playing for Torts.

    He looked fine in the games I watched. This was about opportunity not skill. Time will tell- agreed...
