Confirmed with Link: Flyers Sign Christian Folin to one-year contract, $800K

[BernieParent]

You have 8 defensemen there though. Not 7.

Yes, 4 spots - lineup spots, I understand - for 5 dmen, and Folin (if used correctly) will be the designated sitter and spot player. I think it is reasonable to expect that Hextall doesn't want a youngster to be sitting for long stretches, which leaves two primary options:

• Sanheim and Myers compete for the 6th spot, with the other going to the Phantoms
• One of these 5 get dealt elsewhere

IMHO, the likeliest outcome is that Myers is a Phantom to at least start the year.

Some real nice things being said about him on main board. This could spell trouble for Sanheim sadly, but heres hoping he forces Haks hand and one of Farmer or Hagg get PB duty.

 

[Striiker]

If it has a negative effect on anyone, it's probably Myers, not Sanheim.

 

[hatcher]

He's worse than Provorov, Ghost, Sanheim, Myers, and Gudas. And Hakstol is in love with Mac and Hagg.

Hes not worse then Gudas. Solid 3rd pair rhd with some attitude.

 

[CS]

I doubt it. I'd be surprised if Sanheim isn't playing, even despite Hakstols stupidity.

I mean...Sanheim will get some games for sure...

 

[Striiker]

I mean...Sanheim will get some games for sure...

I mean as a regular, not in and out like last year.

 

[BernieParent]

He's worse than Provorov, Ghost, Sanheim, Myers, and Gudas. And Hakstol is in love with Mac and Hagg.

You know that being "worse", even by objective metrics, is not a bottom-line argument for this team.

 

[Striiker]

Hes not worse then Gudas. Solid 3rd pair rhd with some attitude.

Gudas is a top 4 D. He proved that during his time here and only had an issue when stuck with Manning.

 

[Curufinwe]

Sanheim will definitely play less in his 2nd NHL season than his 1st. Just like Konency did.

 

[hatcher]

Solid signing Ronnie.

[Adam Warlock]

So...

Provy-Amac
Ghost-Gudas
Hagg-Frolin

Lets hope we score a lot of goals. Thats a bottom 5 D in the league...even with Provy.

Did Sanheim and Myers die?

Could def see that being Haks starting lineup

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

I think this is a good signing, but what the f***... If this f***s up Myers and Sanheim from playing normally this year, I will be super pissed.

 

[bennysflyers16]

Did Sanheim and Myers die?

Who do they replace and who comes out of Haks lineup ? Really cant see both of them getting in

Sanheim Folin would def be a big nice looking bottom pair though !!

 

[FlyerEra2010]

I'm excited for him to take the ice with AMac at the most important moments when we're clinging to a one goal lead with 60 seconds left. Hakstol gonna have fun with this one.

 

[BernieParent]

Did Sanheim and Myers die?

Yes. Hakstol got all the Inanity Stones and snapped his fingers.

 

[NicolasAubeKubel]

Provorov-Myers
Ghost-Folin
Sanheim-Gudas

 

[Striiker]

Oh good, we're back to the exaggerated pessimism again.

So hows those guaranteed Manning, Filppula, and Beagle signings looking?

 

[kudymen]

Did Sanheim and Myers die?

Which begs the question: is there a difference between being available for Jeff Hakstok's roster and being dead?

 

[hatcher]

So...

Provy-Amac
Ghost-Gudas
Hagg-Frolin

Lets hope we score a lot of goals. Thats a bottom 5 D in the league...even with Provy.

Keep the goals out of the net. The d will score goals.

 

[hatcher]

Provorov-Myers
Ghost-Folin
Sanheim-Gudas

Way better then weve seen in awhile.

 

[Curufinwe]

More breaking news - Hextall just announced three trades:

Sanheim for Manning

Konecny for Filppula

Laughton for Beagle

 

[Philly Fanatik]

Feeling good about the Folin signing!
Hextall has had him on his radar since Folin finished college hockey!
Was a top NCAA free agent!
