A couple quotes I thought were interesting:
Rasmus Sandin wants to set the record straight.
“I did not request a trade out of Toronto,” he said. “I had literally no idea I was getting traded.”
“What people don’t know is that my mom got sick in the beginning of 2022. She got cancer. She had some serious surgeries. We had a really tough time as a family that summer. That’s a big part of why I stayed at home, so I could spend time with her. People don’t know about that. That’s fine with me because I knew it, and Toronto knew it and they were fine with it,” Sandin said.
“It’s tough even talking about it. (Nylander) was telling me how much he was going to miss me. We’ve been so close since even before my time in Toronto. He’s one of my best friends, if not my best friend. He wished me the best of luck, and said, ‘Don’t you dare not talk to me after you leave us,’” Sandin said.
Ah this makes the trade even worse IMO
Ahhh man it’s first thing in the morning
Yeah that’s tough and pulls at your heartstrings. But it’s still a business and he was still the odd one out.
Hopefully he has himself a good career.
changes nothing in my opinions of him.
good dude, wish him well.
but i’m still happy with the trade.
Hope he comes back someday. Like Luke.
I like Sandin. I like him as a 5/6 with some power play time.
Kinda like a Torey Krug but not as good.
