Seeing lots and lots of "Sandin will replace Rielly very soon" comments lately. Just a reminder that Rielly didn't become a 50 point defenceman until his 5th NHL season. Let's maybe just set some realistic expectations for our young Swede.

Not only that but he has been robbed of close to a year of hockey development too.  I?m excited for him (honestly Liljegren too) to hopefully get opportunities next year

I won't speak for others, but I said he'll step into his slot, not that he'll immediately replace his offense.  Though I think he could get there some day.
 
On the one hand that puts the powerplays at 8 minutes to six but we still lead so I?m sure we won?t get another call this game

I'm not 100% sure Sandin has a heavy shot from the point either. Reilly's problems I don't think it's getting shots through it's that he really doesn't have a shot that would strike fear in anyone and Sandin I think is the same.
