When Travis Sanheim was chosen 17th overall in the first round of the 2014 draft, eyebrows were raised because many scouts had him projected as a late second-round selection.
But after a breakout season in the Western Hockey League in 2014-15, Sanheim has more than justified the selection and is now among the Flyers' top prospects.
The smooth-skating, 6-foot-3, 198-pound defenseman is coming off an outstanding season with the Calgary Hitmen (15 goals, 65 points in 67 games) and is considered one of the Flyers' future cornerstones.
Now 19, Sanheim will likely play one more season in Calgary, but it's not far-fetched to imagine him in the Flyers' lineup in 2016-17.
