Report: Washington Acquires Rasmus Sandin From Toronto For Erik ... (NoVa Caps)

The team has now traded three pending unrestricted free agents after going 6-13-0, the worst record in the NHL, since January 11, including 1-7-0 since a 2-1 win over league-leading Boston on February 11. Washington enters Tuesday tied for 13th in the league with a 2.98 goals-against average, 16th with a 21.3% power-play efficiency, and eighth with a 82.1% penalty-killing efficiency. Gustafsson, who can become an unrestricted free agent on July 1, tallied seven goals, 38 points, a +9 rating, 54.28% five-on-five Corsi-for percentage, 53.74% five-on-five expected goals-for percentage, and 54.36% five-on-five scoring chances-for percentage in 61 contests after signing with them on July 13. Besides him, John Carlson ($8 million cap hit) is the only other blueliner that Washington has under contract next season. Washington, who is currently three points behind the Pittsburgh Penguins (who has three games in hand) for the final wild-card spot in the Eastern Conference, also traded left-wing Marcus Johansson to the Minnesota Wild for a third-round pick just prior to the acquisition of Sandin. Very strange turn of events for him.

The Maple Leafs are 37-15-8 this season and have been buyers this trade deadline. The Capitals are 29-27-6 and have been sellers.

It certainly feels like Dubas is on a roll with the moves for Sandin is an affable, smooth-skating puck mover who has flirted with a top four role but could never solidify that kind of role with the Leafs. Long term, though, it’s probably safe to expect Sandin to line up on the left side of the third pair. - Sandin is in the first season of a two-year deal worth a $1.4 million cap hit.

It’s clearly the Leafs’ job to make that pick as high up the draft order as they can. This does not solve the question of how to activate Matt Murray. Erik Gustafsson is a 30 year old left shot defender with a cap hit of $800,000 which expires this summer.
