Oilers interested in Flyer Remember when Sanheim was thought traded? Well there is still a 50/50 chance I am hearing that Sanheim opens this season elsewhere. The Oilers really have always wanted Sanheim.

He will probably triple his production on a offensive minded and talented team.

Doesn’t he have a no trade contract?

First 4 years of his 8 year! Contract. Chuck Fletcher was a really player friendly GM.

Stay in Philly or play with McJesus! Would you waive your MTC? Plus, he would be closer to home.

If this ek rumor is even true....big IF... what could Edmonton evwn offer to a rebuilding flyers team?

a bag of pucks is fine, just get sanheim off the books

This makes a lot of sense when you think about it. Sanheim is a LD and Oilers are only committed to $18m/yr. cap hit to have Ekholm, Nurse, and Kulak at LD. So EDM can definitely afford to add $6.25m to that position with their -$390k in current cap space.

Broberg could be in a deal like that.

That's ridiculous. Sanheim is not a player you just give away. He is a solid two way NHL defenseman.

What do you expect from Eklund. He reported the other day that St. Louis is having difficulty re-signing Buchnevich.

Sarcasm dude, learn it.

The Flyers have no room for another starter on the roster so get a prospect and a draft pick.

And if he goes please feel free to say that this was done because of Torts. Sanheim is a replaceable 2nd line D.

I expect him to admit he is a failure of a human being that has maliciously fabricated years of lies to financially exploit the hockey community.

As appealing as cap relief sounds I feel like Sanheim has more value than just being a cap dump.

Poor kid. He must think DB is trying everything possible to get rid of him.

Hopefully he comes back with a chip on his shoulder and he plays well enough to have more value round the league

Accountability dude, learn it.

Hockey dude, learn it.

After all, the Flyers are a factory of drafting and developing good two way defenseman. They churn them out like crazy.

I wouldn't go that far.

He's made himself a good living with this site I would bet. I don't see that as exploitation. I just wish he wouldn't make stuff up sometimes.

He does it so well we all keep coming back ha ha

A cap dump at this point doesn’t make sense. There’s no need at the moment for extra cap other than being a third team for other cap dumps. Make it a hockey trade for draft capital or a prospect. Perhaps Edmonton has soured on Broberg? But, do t trade him for the purpose of cap relief alone, please.

The closest I can come up with to a reasonable trade without a broker team is:

Edmonton Gets:
Sanheim (8yrs @ $6,250,000)

Philly Gets:
Foegele (1yr @ $2,750,000
Ceci (2yrs @ $3,250,000)

Broberg
2024 1st

Is Sanheim worth Broberg and a 1st? I have no clue, but something has to be given to take 2 cap dumps to make the salary work.

Edmonton gets a top 4 of:
Nurse-Ekholm
Sanheim-Bouchard

Maybe the Flyers would even find a taker for either Foegele and/or Ceci later.

I would do it, but it will definitely make the Flyers defense go from trash to trash on fire.

Not unreasonable. Foegele & Ceci are nothing more than Edmonton cap dumps, the real deal is Broberg and a 1st (late round pick for sure). Flyers might have to send back a 3rd or something more for that to be palatable but that would give Edmonton a better top 4 although Sanheim prolly doesn’t help them keep the puck out of their own net and if I’m not mistaken, Nurse and Ekholm are LHD too.

Hanafin for Sanheim. Done. Canadian for an American and everyone’s happy.

Hanifin probably won't extend. Though I agree, even renting Hanifin for the season and unloading him at the TDL is better than keeping Sanheim on a rebuilder with that contract. CGY at least has a reason to consider Sanheim as opposed to EDM which would be among the last teams that would be interested in him.

Name the last 5 good 2 way defensemen that the flyers developed and the years they played.

Sanheim has hit his ceiling.
