Toronto Maple Leafs‘ 1st round pick in the 2018 draft (#29 overall), Swedish-born sophomore defenseman Rasmus Sandin(8) started the new season on the big club’s roster playing his first 6 NHL games grabbing a pair of assists skating decent time before being reassigned to affiliate Toronto Marlies.
In 11 AHL games since his return he’s scored two goals and 7 assists with a +1 rating.
The 5’11” 183 lbs. blue liner is in the first year of his entry level deal getting a slide last season.
He scored 6 goals and 22 assists in 44 games as a rookie but was a bit of a bad -10 rating but picked it up with 10 assists in 13 Calder Cup playoff games.
Originally coming across after skating 5 games for Rogle BK of the SHL he joined Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds for the remainder of 2017/2018 before officially turning pro.
The 19-year old is signed through 2022, so does have some time to continue to grow his game.
