flyercanuck Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 I think any team in the league would take Sanheim. Fletchers contract, on the other hand.... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see the plight, except for the Flyers and the contract, as FC says. You can't blame the player for signing the contract. I think TS can be a really good top 4 NHL Dman. He's not nearly as bad as you think he is. And there's 4 other guys on the ice with him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come on old school it's 2023 and if we don't be over dramatic and controversial well it don't sale. I am going for clicks!!! Besides I really think there is a chance they could move the kid maybe home to Manitoba? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol, yeah I could see the Jets interested in all home grown boys, but his contract is still an impediment I think. So I just read that piece, Sanheim's NTC only kicked in on July 1? So they should have traded him sooner. I guess they tried. The Jets have some nice prospects, I'm not saying I wouldn't talk to them about TS, but I don't think he's in the same category of others in terms of contracts we have to get rid of.

FD19372 Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 Not a lot of teams, are lining up for a guy who is getting paid over 6 million per year. Once again, the "self-proclaimed geniuses" in the front office who know more than all, overpaid for Sanheim. Six million dollars per, for a guy who is inconsistent in his own zone, and has only 35 points as a career high to show for himself. If he wants to be paid like a top pairing defenseman, which to me.. over 6 mil per, is... then he should play like one. This isn't about potential, it's reality. He's not young by hockey terms, anymore. He's 28. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not young by hockey terms, anymore. He's 28. I don't disagree FD, but a couple of things: 1) he just turned 27 at the end of March; 2) it is partially about potential still. He's not even in his prime as an NHL Dman;; 3) he's one guy on a crap team, a team by the way that ruined the best Dman we've had since Mark Howe, and may have ruined the best goalie we've had since Hextall. It's a wonder Travis doesn't have PTSD. 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still think Heinola could be a dynamic NHLer, has looked very good at times for the Jets, but is on the outside looking in as far as a position on the D rotation goes. Heinola plus picks would work for me maybe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post hmc687 Posted July 13, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted July 13, 2023 People are really sleeping on Sanheim. The $6 million seems a wee bit high right now but cap expected to jump next season and following season. Lots of teams alrdy pay Mid pair dmen ~$5m per. When the cap goes up Sanheim's contract will be a deal or even steal. Sanheim is a bit higher and locked up long-term. Plus he plays a style that will age well...he's not overly physical and - usually - finesse/technical guys get BETTER with age and experience. And if you allow last season to be an outlier TS was rock solid in the preceeding years... 3 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JR Ewing Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 (edited) If deployed properly, Sanheim has his use. He absolutely shouldn't be on the ice against the tough competition, though: Among Flyers defensemen, Tortorella gave Sanheim top pairing minutes against the elites, and that's a problem. He's a very good 3rd pairing defenseman being paid like a top-pairing defenseman. That's another problem.

GrittyForever Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 Well you really don't want a middle of the pack D man signed to that kind of term when you're launching a rebuild. He becomes a bad measuring stick for every guy who wants a new contract and thinks "I'm better than him". It's just too much term. So if you can move him you move him but it's not as essential as moving Hayes, JVR and DeAngelo and there's only one left to go there. If the Jets or Canucks actually want him, make it so. Myers and a first and then we flip Myers at the deadline? Probably too much to ask for but I'd love it if it was that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jammer2 Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 (edited) Patiently waiting for the day I joyously read, FLYERS HAVE THE MOST CAP SPACE IN THE LEAGUE. For this to become a reality, guys like Travis have to go!! The kind of flexibility tremendous amounts of cap space can provide can take years off a rebuild!

No denying he got caved last year...previously he wasn't winning but he wasn't getting smoked either, and in some cases (and this if funny to me), paired with Phillipe Myers, he was pretty good. I remember thinking, that pairing could be pretty good and then the league caught on the Phil thinks the game a tick too slowly and began really dumping to and entering on his side. Then he was traded for an LTIR contract sigh, good times. Edited July 14, 2023 by mojo1917 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if this kid was ever to get a stay at home type guy to play off of where maybe he could come out of his offensive cocoon then you could see more value in his contract as of now Flyers don't have that type of defenseman. So if another team had that type of guy already maybe they would be interested in him for their top 4 but i'm not sure if that would be the Flames and Canucks. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GratefulFlyers Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 I like Sanheim and I don’t mind the contract, not enough to trade him for what he’d fetch anyway. What I do hate is his Neanderthal partner. It’s hard to drive play and take chances in the offensive zone if you’re wondering whether Ristolainen has made it across the red line yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OccamsRazor Posted July 25, 2023 Author Share Posted July 25, 2023 Hate to see this happen to one of Sanheim’s best friends. But he did his best and injuries can take a toll. I wish him the best Sanheim needs to be thankful he made it to get his pay day Sam never will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OccamsRazor Posted August 31, 2023 Author Share Posted August 31, 2023 Waited a lifetime it seems to see a play like this from young Sanheim... ...maybe they trade Seeler for a nice haul!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radoran Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 Sanheim is either a breakout player who is part of a speedier rebuild or someone we will never really need to think about again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GratefulFlyers Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 Well I sure hope it’s the former bc he won’t be easy to unload if he has another sub-par season. He’s not wildly overpaid provided he pulls his weight, but of course if he does then the Flyers won’t need to trade him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
