I am hoping he is more Ryan McDonaugh type. I think Bob McKenzie gave him that comparrison
- J35Bacher

Did he? Damn, I thought I was original. Oh well.

I know Craig Button compared Sanheim to McDonaugh right after he was drafted. McKenzie may have also made that comparison.

That could be a steal if he plays to that potential whoever made the comment.

Heimers is a good one. Much more interesting than the typical NHL nicknames -

Kaner, Tazer, Keither, Seabs, Bicks, Hoss. The Blackhawks nicknames in general are all pretty lame.

Agreed. I think he can certainly do it, too.

Sandman

If he goes back & scores like he was before he will be signed soon enough
- Jsaquella

Yeah. He's definitely been impressive. I don't think it will take the team too long to make that decision.

I feel like it's going to be a million years before we see Sandheimy make the NHL though

With an ace season in Calgary and 15-20lbs, I could see him here as soon as 2015.

Per the beat guys, Orange Jesus is skating today.

This post wins the Internet for Sept. 25, 2014 -- because ultimately, as much as I believe in many players on the roster, he has got to be on the effing ice for 20-ish minutes a night.

That's just the way it is

Cant view at the moment......seems interesting

That is what I was thinking. His skating and instincts are NHL. He just needs to add more muscle and refine some of his game. Could ease him in next year as a 3rd pairing guy and then go from there.

Guys like Giordano and Rafalski headed overseas when nobody thought they were worth a damn... they came back and killed it. If Gus keeps playing well over there, and some roster spots end up opening up here next summer, it's plausible that he could come back and be terrific.
- Tomahawk

Exactly.

Two words: Brian Rafalski.

Just because a guy isn't on an NHL roster doesn't mean he can't play or can't improve enough to play in the league

I love the nicknames that have nothing to do w/ names and have a story behind them... like Noodles, Moose, Toe, Chicken Parm, Mule, Boom Boom, Punch, Knuckles, etc. The only name-based nick that was ever any good was Cujo.

The Flyers are ranked 4th, behind Montreal, Edmonton & Detroit

I'd take either, obviously I'd prefer McDonagh

I wouldn't rush him. This is only his age-18 season. Probably has two more years in Calgary if they're patient.

Thanks....I could see their ranking criteria. i figured(hoped) the Flyers would rank high.....I disagree with the Oilers.
