Does Sandin look like he could make the jump next year? Is he playing sheltered minutes down there?

I have to think that Sandin's development will mostly follow the young guys who were before him, which is limited/sheltered minutes in season 1 and then starting season 2 in a more top line/pairing role and going from there. Johnsson, Dermott, Kapanen, and Liljegren all mostly went through that same process.

I've heard more glowing reports about Sandin already in his first season than Liljegren though. Could be Sandin was better adjusted to playing on the smaller ice with his time in the OHL vs Liljegren playing in Sweden previously. I think he's already ahead of Timothy

In all the Sandin clips I have seen, he has extreme poise with the puck, knows how to turn away from the offence with a deft move or turn and then proceeds to carry the puck to a place where it makes sense to pass it, in other words on his time. I think he is going to make Lilypad look very green for a long time.

Marlies won 7-4 yesterday

Sandin really impressed me, that guy looks poised beyond his years. I think he'll be better than Lilegejren. Speaking of the Lilly-pad he got hurt in the first when falling awkwardly, he tried coming back in the 2nd to play but didn't take a regular shift and then didn't play the rest of the way

Bracco had 2 goals, looked pretty good. Also was impressed by Engvall and Grundstrom.

I'm not sure if I could break down sheltered minutes for the game, I mean he was out there as often as any other dman yesterday from what I could tell so I'm sure he could probably play sheltered NHL minutes next season on your 3rd pair. He just looks so calm and confident with the puck. I think he's another Dermott

Thx Zee...He def sounds promising.
 
That's great to hear about Sandin. I don't really follow the Marlies, but I was blown away by his composure during the pre-season... doesn't surprise me at all he's jumped above Liljegren.

I think he'll prove to be a really valuable pick, especially if Gardiner moves on.
 
The streak has been broken at 19 games. Scott lost in a shootout last night and is now 22-0-1.

?No one else really wanted to go in net, so I kind of just stepped up and just started doing it full time.?

I feel like a lot of goalies got into the position sort of by picking the short-straw.

An updated look at Sandin in the AHL to show off what?s impressive about his game as an 18 year old in a professional men?s league.

He plays a lot like a football back. He creates a lot of space and time for his teammates by drawing in forecheckers with his patience and then slipping by them with little reversals or between the legs passes into soft ice for his partner or forwards.

I think this is the first Canada WJC goalie the Leafs have had since Pogge?

Never forget.

For Canada, yes. The last Leaf goaltender prospect in the tournament was Joseph Woll last year for the US.

It would be really awesome if Sandin could up his skating and give us a right-handed Dermott next year.

He'd have to switch shooting sides to accomplish that.
