Let the record show the Flyers are OK with him going to Free Agency. And they didn't really get a discount either, but that's par for the course.

 

[JVR21]

I'm incredibly surprised by this one. 3 goals, 15 points, and -22 last year. I like Sanheim, but this seems high to me. Takes him straight to UFA too I believe? Kudos to his representation.

 

[Fire Tortorella]

Goner next year.

 

[Magua]

Good to see Chuckles did not genuflect to Sanheim.



This.

His offensive WAR is was in line with Pelech and Petry last year. They’re paid what they’re paid.

This is an AAV that should have come with a 4+ year deal.

8 years of Rasmus!

Dumb overpayment. Why not just take him to arbitration?

Because he would have ended up with the same deal.

This.

Let’s be honest. You have to seriously question a model that looked at his season last year and spits out a “top pair defensmen” result.

I’m not arguing if he’s under or overrated. I like the guy. But he just not a top pair guy.

 

[Dumpster Flyers]

Possibly, but there's no chance it would be higher. Fletcher caved.

 

[kudymen]

Genesis of the last decade is perfection

"Damn we have no picks, we have no prospects, let alone defensive prospects"
"Wooo we are cautiously optimistic about lots of our Dman prospects"
"Erm I dont know, how about we get rid of them slowly or let them walk away"


Also love all those "Sanheim cant possibly get over 4M, why do you think that??" posts of the past few weeks

Because the cap hit would of been maybe a shade lower but they would have the animosity of a Arb case.

 

[GKJ]

Or a bigger one. By my count it looks like this leaves the flyers with like $300k in cap space once Cates goes to the phantoms

Because it’s a 3 year predictive model, not a 1 year evaluation. His individual and on ice ES metrics are consistently terrific, even with poor goal differentials last season. He did specify offensive top pair.

It may be a 3 year predictive model but unfortunately it fails to predict AV/Michel usage

 

[TCTC]

It's an ok deal, I guess. 2nd pair money for a 2nd pair defenseman. Probably means he'll be gone in 2 years though. Can also see him traded next summer if York shows he can replace him.

 

[Curufinwe]

Yup, that’s all that’s required.

If Fletcher was worried about cap space and carrying the maximum amount of players all the time he should have got Buffalo to retain on Ristolainen.

Is WAR even universally agreed upon in hockey? I can see how it can easily translate into one of the most meaningful stats in baseball, but for hockey? I'm looking at a chart for the 20-21 "shooting-adjusted" WAR for defensemen. Keith Yandle is among the best defensemen in the league, apparently. What a deal we got!

Or he is dynamite and we extend him long term.

 

[TCTC]

Or he is dynamite and we extend him long term.

I guess that's possible, but he won't see top pair minutes with the Flyers. So if he really explodes, which I doubt at this point, he'll want to sign somewhere where he can be the guy.

 

[bobbythebrain]

Gonna cost 10mil AAV in 2 years

 

[Curufinwe]

Last three years he was getting the 2nd most ES TOI, behind only Provy. What he surely won’t get in Philly is much PP time. His AAV would be a lot higher if he had more PP production to bargain with.
