He still has some shine on him, so I did think he could get more than this, but in 2 or so years I think people will look back on this the same way they do the Kapanen and Dermott deals. Or they won't and I'll look like an idiot. Bookmark either way I guess.

Look, I'm a pretty strong fan of Sandin but my view following here I think is defensible.

He's established himself as a regular D-man on a good team at 22.  He has real offensive potential.  They've invested a lot in him and were getting returns.  He and Liljegren could have been the foundation of the defense when they are finished with Reilly.

This isn't Kapanen/Johnsson.  This is Anton Stralman, the Sequel.

Is it the world's worst trade?  No, the return is OK.  But Sandin will be starting for somebody foe the next 12-15 years.

My verdict: a bad mistake.
 
What the hell, as I was typing my Sandin reply 2 more things happened.  Dubas is trading like a drunken sailor.
 
There has to be more moves coming on D..Schenn likely won?t even dress and he cost a 3rd. Picks on next moves must be coming back.

That's all Dubas could get for Engvall?  Jesus.

A 3rd rounder for a 30-point pending UFA forward with a history of underperforming for long stretches (including playoffs) seems fine.

I don't think so.  He's a regular bottom 6 guy.  A second at least.
