Description

Rielly and Muzzin are blocking Sandin from a top four spot. Instead of keeping him on the bottom pair for the next few seasons they could trade him for an impact top pairing defenceman. Anaheim is probably looking to cut costs and Sandin projects to be ready when the rest of Anaheim's young players are ready.

Trading your best dman who's on an incredibly affordable contract doesn't really seem like the best way to cut costs...I also haven't heard anything about them needing to cut costs either.
