I would be shocked if Sandin is not Toronto's 5-6 defenseman next season (barring injury/trade).

You’re now putting your “common sense” on display to embarrass yourself even more.
When these great players were playing in the AHL, would you not think that there were many not so great players on their respective teams playing ahead of them at the time ? They played in the AHL because they were deemed not ready. Same for Sandin, he’s just not ready. It’s not to say he won’t make it, or becomes a great player, only time will tell.
I thought he should have made it this year...back to the original argument, throwing him in with Nylander is not going to land you Brady Tkachuk.
No I didn’t, only I quoted your post before you edited it. Just the same nonsense anyway.
100% lie...I edited it 8 minutes before your post.
Anyway, check the Marlies roster when Sandin first joined...not a lot of NHLers from those draft picks there.
‘The only one lying is you. You’re just trying to throw out more garbage as smoke screen to back out of this embarrassment you put yourself into.
Haha...you better people call these people, they call them AHL prospects too.
Each NHL Team's Hottest AHL Prospect Who Could Be Brought Up Now
Before a player can step into the NHL , often some additional experience and seasoning is required. The American Hockey League is a great opportunity for players to showcase their ...

It's not a big deal...I said he was an AHL prospect because he was playing in the AHL, we were talking about the same guy...he was just pissy and deflecting because I beat down his trade proposal of Brady Tkachuk for Nylander and an AHL prospect...he seems to think that calling him an NHL prospect instead of AHL prospect, even though we are talking about the same player, makes that player seem more valuable...its the same player.
When a team acquires a player playing in the AHL the press release doesn't go "Joe Blow is an NHL prospect playing in the AHL" it goes "Joe Blow is currently playing in the AHL."

He's got a good hockey mind, I think his physical immaturity hindered him.
He was getting physically rattled, once he fills out a bit and adjusts to the pace I think he'll be fine too.
He was drafted as a very young 18.
Not these stupid green and white outfits again.
Can’t win in those. Dress proper.

There are many AHL players who have no shot in making the NHL and there are a few on every team like a Sandin who’s a NHL prospect and has a good chance of making it. An AHL player is not the same as an “NHL PROSPECT PLAYING IN THE AHL”. If you still can’t differentiate between them, well even your fucking God can’t help you.
Tell me this...in your opinion...who is the superior being that decides if a player should be called an “AHL player” or an “NHL prospect playing in the AHL?
Was Pierre Engvall ever called an “NHL prospect”...he’s in his 2nd season.
How about Jeremy Bracco...2nd round pick that some had high hopes, was he ever an “NHL prospect”, regardless, he plays in Switzerland now...they should have packaged him with Nylander before he left.
Does anyone have Bruce Boudreau's phone number?............Anyone?
