Rasmus Sandin (born 7 March 2000) is a Swedish professional ice hockey defenceman who currently plays for the Toronto Maple Leafs of the National Hockey League (NHL). He was selected in the first-round, 29th overall, by the Maple Leafs in the 2018 NHL Entry Draft. Sandin has previously played for Rögle BK of the Swedish Hockey League (SHL).

Playing career

At 16 years old, Sandin began his major junior career in 2016 playing for Brynäs IF at the J20 level. He was selected by the Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds in the 2017 Canadian Hockey League (CHL) Import Draft.[1] He made his professional debut in playing five games for the Rögle BK of the Swedish Hockey League (SHL) before joining the Greyhounds for the 2017–18 season.[2] At the end of the regular season, Sandin was awarded the Rookie of the Year award by the team.[3] He was later announced as an OHL finalist for the Emms Family Award.[4]

Sandin was ranked the 11th best North American prospect according to the final NHL Central Scouting Report.[5] On June 22, 2018, Sandin was chosen in the first-round, 29th overall, by the Toronto Maple Leafs in the 2018 NHL Entry Draft.[6] He later agreed to a three-year, entry-level contract with the Maple Leafs on July 16, 2018.[7] Sandin began the 2018–19 season with the Toronto Marlies, the Toronto Maple Leafs American Hockey League affiliate, after being cut from training camp.[8] During the season, Sandin set a new team record for longest point streak by a defenceman.[9] Sandin finished the 2018–19 season with 6 goals and 28 points in 44 regular season games. Sandin played his first NHL game against the Ottawa Senators on October 2, 2019, recording one assist in a 5–3 win.[10] He eventually recorded his first career NHL goal on January 27, 2020, in a 5–2 win over the Nashville Predators.[11]
