should have clarified , point was they made a mistake signing him. Just dumb. He no doubt would have received a 7 year deal in free agency.

As what he may get in a trade, honestly no idea. I do believe he can be moved.

Funny though when you visit other flyers boards they tell you he is a legit top pair dman....

Other boards lol, haven’t looked at HF Corsi in a long time. Never could get involved there

TK Ivan Sanheim are all in their prime. Hell throw Hart in there as well. What is the flyers window to ice a cup team?

These guys are being wasted like prior players.rudderless orginization.

- hello it's me 2050


what 7 years. TK is small and gets to the dirty areas. Those guys usually don't last long in their 30's.

but like otherss, this is a good year to start if it is going to happen. Love tk, but his prime will be wasted here.

both d men imo will have longer careers barring an injury. so longer with them.

Is anybidy else scared that feltcher is still the Gam and we are only q fee points out of a playoff spot?! If this dude buys instead of sells I may lose my poop.
Can we get a posse together and go tar and feather feltcher?! Is that still a thing? Tar and feather him and send him down the streets while the eagles fans celebrate victory?


Asking for a friend .... he has tar.... fyi

Does the Horvat deal push you to see what Konecny might get you?
-J35Bacher

The Flyers biggest gap is legitimate first line forwards. Konecny this year has shown he is a legitimate first line RW. I think Konecny is also demonstrating he is a leader on this team. Trading him just creates another hole the team would have to fill.

I have to agree. He's obviously a Torts guy and very well may be the next captain. He may actually be the only untouchable on this team, so not sure why everyone is trying to move him. I'd show Sanheim the door tomorrow if someone wants him and same with Risto. Provorov can be had, but they better damn well get a good package in return for him.

where does he fit in the time line to be a contender? he is free agent 2025. Zero interest in overpaying to keep him on a long term deal. Flyers will never learn

There are obviously players that are more valuable to the team such as Konecny and Hart but there really aren't any untouchables on this team. The Flyers should iisten about any player.

- hello it's me 2050
Agreed...nah. It's more about the fact that the Flyers aren't playing for like 10 days and most subjects have been beaten to death. There's actually a good amount of traffic on here compared to most other teams and considering where this team currently is. Saw the third period of the Carolina game when I got home last night. Good luck beating them in a 7 game series although their goaltending may be suspect.

Probably aren't any actual untouchables, but TK and Hart are the closest to being untouchable. I know some people are itching to get rid of Provorov, but I'd be careful what you wish for. Guy is a warrior that shows up every night and I think he would be missed more than people think.

That too. There's just nothing new/interesting going on with the team.

So you ready to commit to an 8 year deal for Hart this summer and TK next summer?

I probably should have made myself more clear. I wasn't referring to the Flyers playing them in the playoffs. I was referring to anyone playing them in the playoffs. I should have just made it easier and said that they will be a tough out for anyone that faces them.

Not to change the topic.....BUT...I just read this article. It's just amazing that same old thing happens over and over again. Where's all this going to end and some how a "new" beginning going to start?

This is how business works, all businesses, not just hockey. For example if I get hired as a GM I am going to bring in my own people, people that I have worked with in the past and trust. There is nothing ground breaking here, and this is certainly not isolated to the Flyers.

No, cause I hate long term contracts for anyone, so perhaps that is a good argument to move along if they get an offer that they can't refuse.

What’s your return on Sanheim, mediocre Dman signed until 2030 for decent money
- ClaudeFather

There is no return, no team is taking Sanheim. This contract is even worse than Risto's contract IMO.

I think the Flyers should pick up the phone if anyone calls about any of their players, but I would be hesitant to move Provorov or Konecny unless there is an offer made that you cannot refuse. No GM is that stupid to take Sanheim, especially given the plain STUPID contract Fletcher gave him. The Flyers can and should move JVR, Hayes and Seeler at the deadline, let Braun finish the year with the Flyers since I don't think a team will take him at this point, and then make more moves in the off-season if any other player on the roster is determined to not be part of the future here by Torts and his staff.

Anyone is able to be moved. The price/cost is what is up in the air.

Sure, the Flyers can move Sanheim if they cover about $2M per for the life of the deal, do you honestly think that is going to happen?
