Per Chris Johnston, a very credible reporter for Sportsnet (@sportsnet) has reported that a Right-Winger Linus Sandin intends to sign with the Flyers when “The NHL finalizes the international transfers agreements.”

As stated above this star in Sandin was amongst the league’s highest goal scorers with 19. This smooth skating Winger in Sandin finished the season with 19g,17a in 51 games played for HV71. This 23-year-old Winger in Sandin stands at 6’1″ and weighs 209 pounds, and would immediately provide much needed size on the Wing. Sandin can board battle with the best of them, as well.

Sandin bops and weaves in between defenders, and can out skate just about anyone given his size. This young man has really made a name for himself, as he has hands of Gold, after potting goal after goal. He plays in all situations to include the Penalty Kill and Power Play, Sandin is also an intense competitor. Sandin is the real deal, and the Flyers are very familiar with the HV71 team (Felix Sandstrom played for HV71). He is the older brother of Rasmus Sandin, and is from the same town as Robert Hagg.

This would be a great depth signing for Chuck Fletcher and the Flyers, as there is some uncertainty of Oskar Lindblom’s return next season (Praying he returns at some point). Good gosh the future is bright in Flyer land.
