Alderson just seems like the most likely of that top 12 to get bumped.

 

[FLYguy3911]

Not every guy that plays on an ATO gets inserted directly into the lineup. Especially in the the playoffs.

Sanheim finally ends his goal scoring drought with a nice wrister through a maze of bodies. Should have had another. He's been creating chances all night. Goal and an assist through 2 periods.

 

[Prongo]

Sanheim and Morin are the two I am most excited about. I think we found two players who people will wonder why they fell to their draft slot when all is said and done

Hell yeah

+ Gostisbehere IMO. Got tickets to a Phantoms vs Penguins game in late March so hopefully Ghost is back in the swing of things. Really want to see him live.

He must have seen this tweet today:



He's money with the man advantage. Still don't know why they don't let him play with the big boys but whatever. He gets thrown out for the last 30 of the PP and puts the puck in the net. If he's out on a 4v3 or 5v3 better put a goal on the board. It's almost automatic when he's out there. Even 4v4 he's dangerous.

I have no idea who that is.... should I?

No. Just a random tweeter. Thought it was funny.

That guy seems like a real tool after browsing some of his other tweets.

Well he's an Islanders fans... he doesn't know any better.

I agree. Anything else is gravy.

 

[Curufinwe]

50 points in 49 games is really impressive.

 

[FLYguy3911]

Could have had 4 or 5 points last night. That's how involved he was. PG's goalie was standing on his head.

 

[BringBackHakstol]

It's kind of shocking that at this point after the draft someone could actually choose Sanheim as the most likely bust of the draft. There's been pretty much nothing but positivity surrounding his development.

 

[Striiker]

I wonder how well he'd be doing if his coach was using him properly...

Pretty much this. Just get HS and watch the games yourself.

 

[Curufinwe]

If you want attention, saying something dumb on twitter is an easy way to get it. I'm pretty sure there are other players in the 2014 first round who seem more likely to bust based on their current season than Sanheim.

Like Fleury.

 

[Coffe]

I can see where that twitter guy is coming from. Sanheim was a -1 in the last game.

 

[hatcher]

Travis Sanheim on his twitter before he was drafted by philly called Brayden Schenn a lowed skilled player haha!

travis is not only a talented player but he can scout too.

And it was mildly funny 8 months ago.

 

[hatcher]

Sanheim still believes what he said and soon he'll pass the puck to Schenn so he can **** it up and Sanheim will go to the bench rolling his eyes sayin what a joke LOL.

 

[deadhead]

Given his age, Sanheim would be a solid prospect if he was scoring a PPG as a forward, as a defenseman, good god. Starting to look like he's not going to spend another season in junior hockey, pass jail, collect $500K and report directly to Philly.

Hopefully Ghost can get a month on ice and they make the playoffs and he gets another 20 games to prepare to fight for a job next year.

Wouldn't shock me if Morin, Sanheim, Ghost and Hagg all made the team next year. I mean could they be much worse than what they're throwing out there on defense right now?

They all will be an upgrade on our D, that's for sure.

Nevertheless, I'd like to see Morin, Hägg and Sanheim (if not sent back) start the season on the Phantoms. In Sanheims case, I hope he puts on some more muscle in the summer. 10-15 pounds more so he becomes 200 ish. At 6'3", listed as 183 pounds, he is kinda skinny.

I really believe Ghost will start the season on the Flyers D.

I can almost guarantee that Hextall sends Sanheim back to the WHL next year.

1. He still have some things he needs to work on before making the jump to professional hockey. Strength is a big one, but he needs to work on his play in his own zone as well. His positioning has gotten so much better as the season has gone on, but it's still a work in progress.

2. There's just not a ton of spots available, especially if they can't find a taker for Grossmann and/or Schenn, or if they decide to re-sign Schultz and/or MDZ. Then figure that Morin, Ghost and possibly Hagg are ahead of him in the pecking order, and begins to look a lot more likely that he heads back to Calgary for 2015-2016.

Edit: Meant WHL, not AHL.
