How have Flyers GM Chuck Fletcher's offseason moves panned out at the halfway point of the season? ReinerOlivia takes a look.
After Sanheim got off to a slow start , Tortorella said in late December that he is beginning to take control of his game. Tortorella has been complimentary of Sanheim’s recent involvement in the offensive zone and hasfor their shared ability to push the offense. In his last 22 games, Sanheim has three goals and seven assists and is plus-5. Overall, he’s putting up points at a similar clip as he did last season .
As the salary cap rises, Sanheim’s deal will look better when he reaches the latter stages of his career and his performance dips. It’s a leap of faith to sign any player of Sanheim’s age to a long-term deal when the Flyers’ future competitiveness and direction is a question mark, but Sanheim has started to show that he can be a good fit under Tortorella in the immediate future.
The bottom line is that Deslauriers was added to make the team harder to play against in the traditional sense. Deslauriers is playing the role, leading the league in fights and penalty minutes . But he’s not the only tough guy on the roster — winger Zack MacEwen and defenseman Nick Seeler also have been known to drop the gloves when the opportunity arises.Deslauriers is a role player capable of making marginal offensive contributions .
This season, Braun’s role on the ice has been less significant. He has split time between the second and third pairings through 33 games and has been a healthy scratch in nine games. His average ice time has been reduced substantially from 20 minutes, 2 seconds last season to 16:12 this campaign.He’s one of a handful of veterans on a young team and his salary-cap hit is a relative drop in the bucket.
