Saw people complaining about his video gaming on here (mostly Facebook). Seems ridiculous to me. A man's gotta have hobbies outside of his job.

He is still more kid than anything else.  Good for him having a crib set up the way he wants it and that he plays video games.

Tanev alone is a lot more than "scraps" and how many players who are no longer going to be waiver eligible and are sitting out games are going to demand a king's ransom?    Signing John Carlson versus acquiring a young Dman with ceiling to go with your emerging very young squad makes zero sense.

I agree Tanev has worth but would you if you were Phili trade Sanheim for Tanev ? Signing Carlson would give the blue line stability. That is what it needs.

They have CAP issues in Philly and fitting in a high demand UFA versus a steady team friendly cost in Tanev may tip the scales.

I would love Sanheim, so would Tanev fit their cap and if so even more reason to sign John Carlson,  Sanheim is a lefty so who are you moving on the left side or are you cleaning house::D

If they want to make a run at a cup sooner than later? Yes. Him and Hagg would make a hell of a good 2nd/shutdown pair and open up opportunity for Prov and Gost. That would be one hell of a D core.

 

You're about 3 years too early for a 'Carlson' signing in Vancouver IMO.

I believe Sanheim can and does play right side. He's also waivers exempt and theoretically could play in Utica next year.

Virtanen has been, arguably, our best player (excepting Bo) since the Boeser injury. 

Agree 100%.  I expect him to play in the top 6 with PP time next year, and really start to realize some of his potential.  He has been one of the lone bright spots of late.  I also really like the  way Stecher has been playing.

Yup, Jake’s coming out year is next season.  He can really impact a game in a lot of ways.  Doesn’t Stecher play like a much more skilled Biega?  That kid is as tough as they come.  He’s in their battling with the biggest a nastiest.

Jake needs to bring some snarl to his game but that comes with age .

the kid has snarl. he needs to channel it properly while being productive/responsible at the same time. takes time to find that balance.
