[Friedman] Hearing PHI et Travis Sanheim avancent sur une prolongation à long terme. Sanheim devrait être une UFA. Cela ressemble à environ 6 millions de dollars, mais je ne suis pas sûr du nombre exact.
Hearing PHI and Travis Sanheim are making progress on a long-term extension. Sanheim is scheduled to be a UFA. Sounds like in the $6M range, but not sure of the exact number.

What is this team doing
Ugh.
6 Mil?? Flyers are determined to be capped out for the next half decade.
Most expensive, dog shit D corps in the league.
I like Sandy. He’s probably our best D man. But why do we keep giving these guys raises as they are actively failing as a unit? What on earth are we building here?
Wonder what that means for Ellis.
Sanheim at 6 mil isn’t the worst thing in the world if the cap raise goes as projected.
I’m sure he’d get that easily on the open market. Whether or not he fits a, « timeline » is beyond my grasp at this point since the front office refuses to give us any direction whatsoever. Most importantly he WANTS to be a Flyer and that feels rare. Him and Laughton are the real ones in my book.
Surprised he isn’t running for a contender though, at his price it might be plausible to eat minutes on a second pair for like Florida.
Just why?
Decent player, nothing special. See how he plays this year before paying him.
Right because Travis Sanheim is just as good as Mackenzie Weegar. /**s**
Torts needs to give greenlights to Sanheim/Provorov/DeAngelo to just activate all the time. None of them are close to the player Makar is but the three of them are capable of more offense than most of our forwards. Have the team play defense first and allow these guys to rush up ice all game.
I say all that because I think Sanheim is about to break out as a big threat offensively, you can tell he has it and its a matter of confidence to just take the puck himself. His junior highlights were filled with Makar-lite plays.
Again, only using Makar as an example of what a dman can do with skating and puck handling. None of our guys are him, I get it.
Sanheim in the 6 million range isn’t the problem, he is a generally underrated player and well worth that money.
The problem is that this team is in all likelihood finishing bottom-10, if not bottom-5 in the league this year, and he would’ve been the best pending UFA defenseman available on the market in a year with one of the deepest draft classes ever. Not to mention the fact that all of Zamula, Andrae, and York project to be NHL level LHD.
Once again, Chuck Fletcher can go fuck himself
That’s the thing, you gotta pay UFAs good money because what other incentive is there on a bottom feeder team?
If we do sign Sandy long term… we need to stop fucking around and give him legit powerplay time.
