After nearly being traded to St. Louis in the offseason, Sanheim hit the gym and added 15 pounds of muscle. Now, he's pushing to be the team's new No. 1 defenseman.
In an alternate version of history, Torey Krug waived his no-trade clause and Sanheim ended up in St. Louis, a cruel turn of fate and stark reality of the business Sanheim signed up for — a trade sending him away from the team he inked an eight-year extension with, just days before that extension, and the full no-trade clause that came with it, kicked in.didn’t happen in the way it was initially plannedBut for a few days, Sanheim admits, he was attached to his phone.
How do you flip that switch, though? One week you were gone, the next week you’re supposed to be the new No. 1 D-man? Sanheim said there weren’t any hard feelings, and still aren’t any today. The offseason remake of this Flyers roster included trading Ivan Provorov, the team’s top defenseman over the last few seasons. Provorov played 24 minutes per game over his seven season with the Flyers. There are minutes up for grabs, and opportunity knocks.
“It looks to me, with Travis, that he’s a little bit no-nonsense and he’s trying to stand out,” Tortorella said. “If some older guys or more veteran guys take to that, it speeds things up and it’s just great for the kids to see.”
