flyercanuck Posted April 23, 2020 Author Share Posted April 23, 2020 Here's some highlights...from watching these his forte' seems to be being in the right place at the right time. Apparently many teams wanted to sign him, so we'll take it. And there's not much other Flyer news going on right now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awesome signing. Why is his international play so limited? No Hlinka, no World Juniors. Late bloomer? https://www.eliteprospects.com/player/139091/linus-sandin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandin more than likely will be a Phantom unless of course he impresses and forces them to keep him around otherwise I would expect he will need some transition time from the big ice to the smaller size ice. Hey at this point I would be just happy we have hockey back... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hf101 Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 Quote Flahr praised the work of scout Joakim Grundberg, who was instrumental in drafting Lindblom in 2014, for his work in pursuing Sandin and “pushing for him from the beginning.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until you decide you can't trust them, of course, in which case you fire them all. His skating looks like it needs work. Not a great stride. But that's why you train that stuff. He looks like a smart, opportunistic player. That's good. Edited April 29, 2020 by Podein25 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
