If we can get another Ghost-like contract, go for it and run
Thank the Phillies getting destroyed last night for this video existing. I made this instead.
15 minutes of Sanheim 18/19 season highlights...
Just curious, what do you think he would have signed for long term and for how long?Yup, going long term on him would've been the smart move, especially since he was open to doing it.
But nah. Now we can play much more in a few years.
31Lets see how many games it takes for him to get appropriate usage.

I'm assuming this is a dig at my position on Provolone's contract negotiations. It is great you can ignore the point of an argument and pick out one "sound byte" and pretend like because I said I would pay him as a last resort to avoid a holdout situation that it really means that I would just pay him whatever he wants whenever he wants and therefore that I would pay anyone whatever they want whenever they want, despite the fact that I made clear that in dealing with the other guys that are presently RFAs that I would not do that.Does it matter? Just give him what he wants.
Unlike his problems with opposing forechecks, this one — as embarrassing as it’s been for Sanheim — seems more fluky than anything else. Sanheim was at a loss to explain it.
“I wish I knew,” he said on Saturday. “I’d love to get into a new pair (of skates) right now and, unfortunately, I don’t have another pair here (that) I’m able to use. I don’t know whether it’s the skate or it’s me or my blades, but it’s something. Hopefully, I can figure it out.”
Everyone wants to play the shiny new toy, but there's a price to pay.
I expect Sanheim and Myers to make their share of mistakes as they grow into their roles. But they're at the career point where they have to sink or swim.
The problem comes when people conclude that a more talented prospect is automatically a better player than a veteran - Sanheim is more talented than Niskanen, but no sane coach would play Sanheim over Niskanen. Especially with a game on the line.
What a player will be isn't necessarily what that player is now, the problem for every coach is what is the best strategy to get that player to realize their potential, more AHL time? sheltered NHL time? throw them into deep water PT?
Which is why I tend to give HCs/GMs the benefit of the doubt until they have a track record of ruining talented prospects - that's far different than not playing them as fast as fans would desire, fans will move on to the next player if it turns out a player is rushed and their development set back.
What a strawman. It was never Sanheim over someone like Niskanen though, it's prospects over absolute negatives like Hagg and MacDonald.
Sanheim is more talented than Niskanen, but no sane coach would play Sanheim over Niskanen. Especially with a game on the line.
But is that because AV thinks Sanheim is better, or because he wants to limit Niskanen's TOI? I'd say the latter.
Provorov and Niskanen are the shutdown pair used against the other team's best line.
If you want two solid years out of Niskanen before he walks, I'd try to keep his total TOI around 20 minutes a night.
What was one of the biggest problems on the PP the last four years - short handed goals@!
