Erik Karlsson wins another Norris.

101 points which is great for a defenseman but a minus 26, team missed the playoffs and team is trying to trade him…but best defenseman in the league strictly because of the points.

This is the NHL we watch…

Sanheim is a solid player and still relatively young. It is not a bad thing that he stays. The players that the Flyers are in hell for in reality are the players acquired by the GM you backed. Hayes, Ristolainen, Deslauriers, Ellis and possibly Atkinson.
- MJL


In your opinion is Sanheim a 1,2 or 3 pairing defenseman? On a top 10 team.

He's -26 because he plays 25 minutes a night on one of the worst teams in the league.

He had 74 ESP in 82 games while the most any Sharks forward managed was 46. That's basically unheard of. The only forwards in the league with more were MacKinnon, Pastarnak and McDavid.

And those 74 ESP were 11 more than Provorov managed in the last three seasons combined.

- Feanor

Weird how you’re making this about Provorov…

The best defensemen of the year should be apart of all defensive categories. A plus in terms of plus/minus. Top 10 or better in blocked shots. Average ice time among all defensemen in the league. You have more wins than losses. Points sure, but points should be why you won the trophy.

If a winner of an award isn’t an actual winner in some way, I guess jd250 was right about Torts all along. Hand Torts the Jack Adams!

What did you think of the other two nominees? Adam Fox is talked about on these board every year.

Playing on one of the worst teams in the league, 25 minutes a night, what should his plus minus have been?

Yikes, what a toxic asset.

Still, they didn't give anything up, so it's a win.

Useless trade. I’m only interested in trades that bring real assets. Couldn’t care less about Hayes

Pretty much the Ryan Johannsson trade last week with the Preds and Avs. Glad the Hayes saga is over. A buyout would have been awful.

This was the worst possible outcome and the Flyers lose a valuable salary retention slot. He is still a viable player, he's just not one that Torts wanted to coach.
