Confirmed with Link: Travis Sanheim Signs Eight Year Extension ($6.25AAV)

[Rebels57]

I don't think he's said a bad word about any player on the team. He's definitely the kind of person who hates losing and losing for years now has probably made him miserable. I think he and Giroux are very similar in that regard.

Not holding yourself accountable is a bad look to his teammates though...trust me. I've played on teams with guys like that and it gets old fast and you lose respect for them.

But we don't know how he is in the locker room behind closed doors. If he really does act arrogant and selfish in the locker room, then I agree with you and then he will become a problem. But we don't know that. I won't hold it against him that he didn't criticize himself during a press conference at the end of the season. What difference would that have made anyway? Criticizing your teammates in public is a no-no for me, but I don't think any player on the team has done that so far.

Just like when a coach throws the players under the bus and never takes blame.

 

[Curufinwe]

We have to pray like a motherf***er that the next GM is the one who trades Provorov.

 

[Amorgus]

God damn your necro bump, I thought he just got another eight years!!!

Oh cool. Looks like what I said in Oct still holds true.

 

[GKJ]

Damn, didn’t want your career to waste away here dude.

Mike Milbury thinks that's dumb for anyone that's not a young, unproven goalie.

So how does Sanheim fit into the rebuild, if the Flyers can't even get rid of him?

What?

 

[EdmFlyersfan]

What?

Corrected the typo.

 

[Striiker]

It’s not “can’t”. They could absolutely trade him if they wanted to.

He has value.

 

[Lindberg]

He has value.

Didn't some talking head essentially say "the Flyers tried to give him away?"

It's likely the NTC he has killed a good chunk of value. Chuck Fletcher did everything he could to screw up the Flyers before he left.

I read an article on TSN or Sportsnet a couple of days ago, that there was no one willing to take on Sanheim's contract at that price...

He‘ll be a good vet presence and partner for Bonk in 5 years.

 

[10Ducky10]

Jets fan here wondering if he plays the right side at all.
If he has, how did he play there?

He hasn't played right side hardly at all

 

[Curufinwe]

He played it when they paired him with Provorov.

 

[deadhead]

If Sanheim gained 20 lbs and took boxing lessons, he'd be in demand.

It is surprising how highly physical 3rd pair D-men have been valued in FA this summer.

They aren't valued for being physical. They're valued for being good. It isn't 2003.

Nor are they 3rd pairing caliber players, that's nonsense you've invented because you're trying to shoehorn them into your Fletcherian role stereotype.

It’s the Vegas effect. The league is full of copy cats. Vegas wins the SC with a big defense now it’s the rage.
