The Washington Capitals acquired Rasmus Sandin from the Toronto Maple Leafs on Tuesday in exchange for fellow defenseman Erik Gustafsson and a first-round pick in the 2023 NHL Draft.
The first-round selection is the pick Washington acquired from the Boston Bruins in the trade involving defenseman Dmitry Orlov on Thursday.
Sandin, 22, has recorded career-high totals in assists (16) and points (20) in 52 games this season. He is playing in the first season of a two-year, $2.8 million contract.
Sandin has 48 points (10 goals, 38 assists) in 140 career games since being selected by the Maple Leafs with the 29th overall pick of the 2018 NHL Draft.
