Maple Leafs send Sandin to AHL, recall Gravel
by Sean O'Leary from on (#4SGZB)
The Toronto Maple Leafs sent rookie defenseman Rasmus Sandin to the AHL and recalled blue-liner Kevin Gravel, the team announced Monday.
Sandin impressed in the preseason and made the Leafs' roster straight out of training camp. The 19-year-old then appeared on the third defensive pairing in each of Toronto's first six games, recording two assists while averaging just over 12 minutes per night.
The first year of Sandin's entry-level contract will only kick in once he hits the 10-game mark in the NHL.
Gravel, 27, has recorded 13 points in 106 career games. He signed with Toronto this past summer.
