Maple Leafs Trade Rasmus Sandin to Capitals for 1st-Round Pick NHL Trade Talk.

There were rumors the Toronto Maple Leafs would need to make another move ahead of Friday’s NHL Trade Deadline. It appears they’ve done so, trading defenseman Rasmus Sandin to the Washington Capitals. The young offensive puck-moving defenceman will be headed to the Caps in exchange for Erik Gustafsson and Boston’s 2023 first-round pick.

Sandin is an underrated top-four defenseman. The Capitals got very good defensemen for their future and should be given an elevated. As Kyle Cushman reports: “Rasmus Sandin obviously has a top-four upside but with Rielly and McCabe was going to be buried for an opportunity in the coming years. Get a higher-end PP QB in Gustafsson for the short term and recoup a 1st round pick. Kinda don’t hate it>”
