its a bit too easy. There are a lot of variables into this! He isnt a Top pairing with Provorov together. But Provorov isnt also! So if Sanheim gets to play with Ellis or another rock solid defensive dman he can be a solid top pair defender in my eyes!

Thanks @Magua

When Risto carries his ass, he can be.

Thanks @Magua

I didn’t even quote though.

But with that same logic of who he plays with, MacDonald was a top pairing D but I understand what you're saying. We've also haven't had a chance to see Provorov play with Ellis or a rock solid D.

 

[ArchAngel55]

I honestly hope I'm wrong about him. I see him more as a 2nd pairing D. I wish they were able to figure out one pairing that can stick together. I don't remember the last time they had one.

Well he certainly should be on the 21-22 Flyers.

This poll is even easier than seducing the Stone King.

They'd be able to find a good top pairing...


If They'd give Sanheim a consistent partner. Their problem is they keep trying to find one for Provorov who they think is a top pairing D.

Build around the players who matter and not those who are marketable and you'll be surprised what happens. But - that's not the Flyers mantra.

On a good, well-run team, yes.

 

[Ghosts Beer]

Not a 1 or 2 on a good team.

The list of people who voted "No" looks exactly like you'd expect it would.

People who don't post on this board and people who unfortunately do.

Sanheim is currently 24th in 5v5 min/game for defenders across the NHL (and leads the Flyers). He is 10th in relxGF%.

Over the previous 3 seasons, he is 38th in 5v5 points/60 among defenders. He is 24th in relxGF%.

He leads the Flyers defenders in almost every 5v5 stat every season he's been a regular. He sees above average usage against opposing top lines and below average usage with his own team's top line. Virtually every defender on the team over the last 4 years sees a statistical boost with him. The list of defenders across the league to post these stats and receive no PP time is Sanheim and Muzzin -- one is 25, the other 32 years of age.

What it all boils down to me is: he has no vision and is a p***y defending the net LMAO. Good riddance.

Sounds like we should package him with some picks for no return.

You can only genuflect with one knee. If I genuflected on two knees, that's just kneeling.

 

[BillDineen]

I think sanheim could have been in an organization that encouraged his rover aspect more and developed him into a pp qb. (no. 2 that is)

You know I like whe you're on bo- oh.

Shit. Wrong website.

 

[Philly Fanatik]

He’s a top pairing defenseman on the FLYERS.
Makar or Miro would’ve looked great on our #1 power play!

 

[TCTC]

He's looked pretty good since Yeo took over, but it's a bit early to get too excited.

So far this year he and Ristolainen have been a solid 2nd pair and with Ellis out they've played lots of minutes and haven't looked overwhelmed which is encouraging.

Sanheim on the top pair and Ghost on the 2nd - where both of them have NHL partners capable of playing in the top 4 - would have been a beautiful sight.

especially with their salaries. You could have easily build a top notch top 4. LEAGUEWIDE!

Yup, like I said plenty of times...

Sanheim-Ellis (assuming he's real)
Provorov-Ghost

... would've been pretty damn good. Not expensive at all either.

Why are we debating a hockey player's knife skills? I'm sure he can pare an apple just fine. No need for him to be the best in the world at it when he should be focusing on hockey.
