1. Given where Minnybis with their goaltending, I don't see them having any interest in that deal. Like zero. Wallstedt is their heir apparent. Period.

2. I am all good with the Sandin signing, but......
a) not the guy I would be pairing with Matheson. That should be Savard. This gets the most out of Matheson's offensive game.
b) you don't trade Edmundson and use Sandin on the 2nd pairing. The kid has game. Having a steady presence flanking him, you will see the offensive game flourish.

3. In what world does one play Chris Wideman ahead of Savard anyway?

As a Leafs fan, I love Sandin, he has a lot of promise, but he’s done nothing to warrant a 4.2 mil offersheet with term, you may be able to get away with a 2.5 x 1 deal with him that the Leafs would have difficulty matching

You think you are getting wallstedt with nothing but cao dumps. You aren't even realistic in this at all

i know it looks like a cluster**** but the thought process was that sandin will be our best D no doubt, having him off the first pair is goofy, none of our left D (in this case) are good enough to be a top pair except matheson, even though his best partner is indeed savard, who ends up as a scratch here because IMO he just doesnt really fit beside the other guys. wideman playing over him could also be a tank move if that helps although i really liked him last season

not to dump on other leafs D but if he improves as much as he did last year he will be their best defenceman, he already clears everyone but rielly and hes close there too

Analytically he wasn’t in the same ball park as Giordano or Liljegren last year, and if Muzzin returns to form he’d be the Leafs 5th best defenceman. I get what your saying but for him to have the improvement to being close to Rielly, but I disagree, Sandin is already a better skater than Rielly and has better goal scoring instincts, but his playmaking isn’t very good, his breakout passes are 50/50 every time, and he is a blackhole in front of the Leafs net. Rielly isn’t a good defender by any means but you can trust him in front of the goalie
