Many things are changing for defenceman Rasmus Sandin. For one, he’ll now need a new driver.



The 19-year-old spent training camp and the early part of his rookie regular season being driven back-and-forth from the Maple Leafs training facility by William Nylander. But after Sandin was sent down to the Toronto Marlies on Monday, he’s resorted to Uber to get himself around.



“I hope a car will be in my future soon,” he said.



The 2018 first-round draft pick scratched his blond hair and smiled as he spoke of the ownership in his future. And in the same vein, Marlies head coach Sheldon Keefe wants Sandin to take more ownership of the team, too, after spending the first six games of the regular season with the Leafs. He believes Sandin has the ability, demeanour, maturity and perspective to handle his relatively surprising demotion to the AHL well.



“We expect him to be at a higher level,” Keefe said.
