The Toronto Maple Leafs have yet to re-sign Rasmus Sandin, which means a trade could happen any day now.

Trading Rasmus Sandin would be a terrible decision for the Toronto Maple Leafs, but it may be their best option.

This isn’t the first time we’ve seen a Leafs player take their time in re-signing with the Leafs. Over the past few years, big-name’s such as William Nylander and Mitch Marner have taken their sweet time to re-sign, and now both contracts look team-friendly.

Say what you want about Marner’s near $11M deal, but it’s an underrated contract. Marner has been the best right-winger in the NHL for the past two seasons so he deserves every dollar he’s making.

As for Sandin, what is waiting for and who does he think he is?

Why is he waiting so long to re-sign with the team when he only has 88 games of NHL experience? I know he was a former first-round pick and has potential to be a long-time top-four defenseman, but how much money is he really worth right now?

If the two sides can’t come to an agreement before training camp, it may make more sense to trade the youngster. He’s still a fantastic asset and packaging him in a deal, or even trading him straight up will allow the organization to receive someone great in return.
