Sanheim is on regular callup now.
If off the current roster, Lehtera, the bottom six is too soft to put Leier out there and Weise, well . . .
But they have the option to bring up NAK and move Read to LW, but is he better off coming up or playing a big role in an AHL playoff push?
I haven't heard too much about Kalynuk besides that he has a heavy shot from the point, but that's a hell of a stat line for a 7th round, freshman DMan playing in the Big 10, IMO
I thought Morin might come back this year - is that not happening?
Hagg is healthy now, which means it is no longer an emergency to have Sanheim up. Because the Flyers decided to keep him up, he now counts as one of our post-deadlind call upsHow is sanheim on regular call up? He was recalled under the emergency conditions rule I don't want him to go back to LV but according to the cba once the emergency condition does not exist he must go back if I am reading it properly?
What about his IQ? Hope that is not a poor man's since Sanheim has a low IQ according to some.I saw him a few times this year and really liked him. Definitely a big value for the 7th round. LOD calling him a poor man's Sanheim is pretty accurate and really should be taken as a compliment. Kudos to our scouts for this pick.
He has stated from the beginning his philosophy is you win down the middle; goaltending, defense, center. His first pick in each of his first two drafts was a defenseman. The 3rd draft he took a center first. Cross reference that with his first 3 drafts in LA: first pick was a defenseman (Hickey) defenseman(Doughty) and then a center (Schenn).
I wonder if Hextall will snag Frost/Hart and others for Phantoms run should there be time.
Unless their teams get upset, they will both likely be playing in the Memorial Cup.I wonder if Hextall will snag Frost/Hart and others for Phantoms run should there be time.

I don't get the clamoring to make moves at the deadline. No realistic move makes us into a contender. Just seems like a waste trading for a E.Kane, Grabner, Cole, Vanek, etc.
This team has real hard time scoring all year and you don't think giving up a 2nd rounder to get Kane would be a good idea?
Look at this forward core
Raffl Giourx Konecny
Kane Coots Simmer
Lindblom Patrick Voracek
Flip Laughton Weal
Flip and raffl could change spots accoridingly.
That forward core plus now a legit 6 dmen gives us the best roster we have had in years.
It's fine, but what's the point? Kane doesn't make us a contender, not even close really.
If you really want him, then consider signing him in the offseason. Then you have E.Kane and still have your 2nd round pick.
Ottawa was the luckiest team in the world last year. The Atlantic wasn’t a good division. They drew Boston & New York in the first two rounds. Boston was missing most of their defense. They avoided the best two teams in the conference for the first two rounds in Pittsburgh & Washington before getting the former in the third round & losing.
Nashville played in a tough division. They still had a top four of Josi, Subban, Ekholm, & Ellis which is always going to give you a chance.
The Flyers are more comparable with Ottawa which isn’t something I want to hang my hat on.
And our forward core blows nashville out of the water. And i have seen first hand this team step it up against pittssburgh. Hockey is the one sports where you can't look at the seeds and predict these things. And giving up a 2nd round pick to get aforward core like the one i posted is a drop in the bucket.
