  1. hate to see Sandin go As a leafs fan he was my fav Dman on the leafs in a whileeee. Think Caps are gonna help make him a lot better with then being physical. Feel bad for sandin tho him and lily were best friends sucks to separate them.

  2. I hate the leaf’s(Jets fan), but I gotta say they’re looking good. I applaud Dubas. Tough to say for me but I gotta cheer for them. Go for it!!

  3. Mr Hayes was right about the next move….as news broke a few hours later. Nice sense on that one!

  4. Does this make their D better in any way this year? No, easiest first round exit again

  5. I like the "Money Ball" scene, "you been traded see the Angela in the office". Sandin, smooth as margarine and just as hard.

  6. I want the leafs to make it out of the first round even more now because I want to keep Dubas. Say what you will about some of the previous trades that haven't worked but this guy is the most exciting GM in the league.

  7. Sandin’s better off in Wash anyway. He’ll get a better chance than he got in Toronto. Dubas still keeps Holl. Practice pairings Holl and Reilly? 😂🤣😂Talk about minus’s.

  8. o-dog and hayes is having too much seed oils, its throws of their metabolism and they gain weight around the face.

  9. Guf has 7 goals 37 points in 61 games and a plus 9. He also has a 17 goal 60 point szn. Don’t disrespect the guy. Jez, watch ur mouths

  10. I like the direction the Capitals are heading. Good young players and draft picks galore!

  11. I don't like the way it went down with Sandin !
    He knew when they said Dubass wants to talk to you, but to put the cameras on him and follow him to the office is just crap !
    DML.

  12. Well of course he did, what kind of a stupid question is that. The four little boys that make up the core will never win. In the first round or a Stanley Cup

  13. Other than his age, What indication would lead you to believe Gio will not be back next year?

  14. You have to give credit to that little four eyed idiot. He’s done enough to secure his job after they lose in the first round again! He has not made this team any better all he’s done is got people talking and created a distraction. They will lose in the first round once again, this is like the Canadian election all over again

  15. I'm going to be the odd man out, and suggest that replacing young fast inexperienced players, with slow veteran bruisers in a mistake. We shall see I guess. 🙂

  16. First round playoff exit again for the Toronto Maple Leafs is the best vibe and I am smoking that loud pack.

  17. This was a very kind move by Dubas for Sandin. Sandin deserved an opportunity and Dubas traded him to a team that will give him one. Instead of being the odd man out for the rest of this year and then being a 3rd pairing D again next year, Sandin will get a chance on Washington to show what he can do. Toronto didn't need to trade him (although because of salary cap considerations, they did need to open up some space), so the biggest winner in this trade isn't Toronto or Washington, but Sandin.

  18. als brother called me a troll when i said sandin isnt an nhl player , who is the troll ? if im president of the capitals id fire the gm for that trade, giving away a first to get worse

  19. Overdrive needs to make a trade. Get Poulie on this panel and trade Frankie and O Dog and the "snorting " references out!!

  20. Sandin wasnt trusted by the coach (he was given offensive zone minutes almost exclusively) and his contract stand-off left a bad taste in the mouths of those in management. The team also needed him to be a consistently impactful top 4 guy NOW, and Sandin still needs some time. He did not have a future on the team, so long as Keefe and Dubas are around. Re-couping a first for his ass is a good piece of business.
