Everyone says the Toronto Maple Leafs need to upgrade their defense. The fans say it, the media says it, my friends say it, my colleagues say it.
When I tell people I think the Leafs blue line is fine, they look at me like I’m crazy. Don’t get me wrong, I’m fine with a major upgrade, I just don’t think it’s needed.
If we assume Rasums Sandin is a part of the Leafs top six at this point, then the Toronto Maple Leafs have not dressed their six best defenseman at anytime this year.
Travis Dermott started the year on the injured reserve, and Sandin was sent down before he came back.
