<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Copenhagen</b></div><div>Do you mean the Edmonton media dislikes him and thats it. Holland said we are in win now mode and looking for someone to help right away if the signing thing doesnt work out. Which is the same situation as the leafs are doing with Sandin.
Jp isnt really available but he is apparently playing hardball with the Oilers and is a potential offer sheet candidate. So really the exact same thing.
Broberg is hopefully going to be a legit number 2 guy. So saying he is Sandin is better than Broberg at this time is very premature.
He is not in the Oilers needs at all. We need a big Right shot shut down guy IMO</div></div>

In all fairness i think the oilers should keep pulijarvi, he's an excellent player on the verge of becoming a very important piece. Leafs actually feel the same way about Sandin, both RFA's in tough spots. I live in Edmonton and when listening to any of the sports radio shows here they have him going at a marginal price. Hate to say it, but if thats true its really too bad. All that said if you walked away with Sandin, considering the reports that would be good.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Copenhagen</b></div><div>So you want a player on the team that "the stick where the plays go to die"???

Here are some more of his underlying numbers, and how they rank among the aforementioned 171 players:

CF/60 – 1st
CA/60 – 29th
SCF/60 – 23rd
SCA/60 – 128th
GF/60 – 55th
GA/60 – 9th
xGF/60 – 5th
xGA/60 – 69th

Is this where the play dies:tearsofjoy</div></div>

I think the issue is that your GM seems to hate the guy, along with most of the media from Edmonton which is why he's available, you might like him and want to keep him but their shopping him for what sounds like a pick. If you were to get Sandin that would be much better, likely, than what you will be getting in reality. Sandin isnt really available but he is apparently playing hardball with the leafs and is a potential offer sheet candidate. If we can snag Puli and avoid all that, its worth it. Sandin is likley to have a better career than all the oiler d prospects you mentioned.
