As I said in the #1 thread (where I voted Sanheim), I watched more videos of this kid just to make sure I wasn't mistaken -- he's unbelievable. An absolute star. I think with the Provorov pick people forget just how terrific Sanheim is. I see NO WAY he shouldn't play with the Flyers this season.
I agree with all of this. The only reason I'd want him back at juniors is to let him play at worlds, which we could do while he's in the NHL anyway.
But he just plays so soft for his size. At least that's what he did in the games I've seen of him.I'll break the trend a little. I picked morin. Hoping he will be the next chara

Well, hopefully he wants to play more aggressive. I'm not sure how legit the league excuse is. I mean, hey, there's never a bad time to criticize the QMJHL, but what suggests that it's the league holding him back and not just him not being aggressive and strong on the puck? I'd be great if he changed that, but I wouldn't bank on it. There's definitely a chance, don't get me wrong, but from what I've seen he plays softer than his other QMJHL peers, too. I want him to succeed, but when I saw Tkachev muscle him off the puck, my heart kind of sagged.Don't get me wrong I understand why you'd say that because at times you can see that.
I'm just hoping he is that way due to the league he is in. Hoping in the ahl and nhl he won't be penalized aw much and can play more aggressive
You seriously remember how Chara looked like in his play almost 20 years back?Chara started the same way but with less skill
It's fairly well documented that Chara was nothing special until 2002-03ishYou seriously remember how Chara looked like in his play almost 20 years back?
OK, fine, but I'd say most established defenders have followed a different path, where they haven't just turned it around after several years. So I wouldn't use exceptions as an argument here. I mean, yeah, they show it's possible, but that doesn't mean the criticism in general is invalid. And I never said I don't think Morin can change his game, I just wouldn't bank on it being as easy as some might think.It's fairly well documented that Chara was nothing special until 2002-03ish
