Did I mention the bit about living in Edmonton?

When Sandin was unsigned into camp this year, I asked around a lot. As far back as the draft, I knew this was going to be a problem. Sandin felt he was worried that there just wasn’t going to be an opportunity for him this year.
One of the things the Leafs were trying to sell Sandin on — and Liljegren, but it was more Sandin — is that if you look at their salary chart, the only guy signed after this year is Morgan Rielly. And I am not counting Muzzin right now. It’s really just Rielly.
I think they were trying to say to him: There are a lot of holes on this blue line going forward in terms of who we have signed and who we don’t have signed. They did not want to trade Sandin or Liljegren for that reason.
With the way they are playing this year, I don’t think they are looking to move either of those guys. The guy who they have been kind of trying to move is Holl, which has been going on for a year. I think he has done a really nice job in the last couple of weeks, and I am happy for him.
I don’t know if they have ever really tried to trade Sandin. When they traded for Muzzin, Liljegren was potentially in that deal, but the Kings were not fans. I don’t get the sense they want to move him now. He is playing well.
In a year where you’ve got to win, you’ve got to be pretty ruthless… If you still look at the overall situation and you say, “I don’t like our mix,” you make your change and you deal with the problems as they occur.

Kings almost received Liljregren

Leafs still trying to trade Holl

I think Timmins is/possibly a good replacement for him

a gut feeling and his contract cost going forward.

It's definitely time to inject some reality into the NHL standings, Boston is 19 and 3, Toronto in reality 15 and 10 and yet Toronto is just 3 points behind the Bruins, The standings seem unfair and the furthest thing from reality. All the current standings system does is give a team and there fanbase a false sense of hope. It's time for a wake up call and drop all points earned in any type loss.

Hey!! I resemble that remark!

- dmnted

Sounds like they believe in him as a longer term option.

From what Keefe said it sounds like he has a strength of moving the puck. As much as Hollowell has had his moments he has shown a bit what the Leafs are missing from the back end.

He can create offence all over the ice.

Lil does that a bit, Sandin sometimes. Rielly can skate really well with he puck but he doesnt really see the ice as well unless its the PP.

Fair enough.

If it soothes you, don't worry, the Leafs will be ahead of Boston soon.

Seems like a cheap depth D. Keefe has used holl more than just a depth D.
We'll see though.

You were saying in the Anaheim thread that Bettman will never allow the ducks to win the lottery if there’s a Canadian team involved.

Do you actually believe this?

Fair enough.

Looks like Timmins an extra at practice today.
