The Philadelphia Flyers drafted Travis Sanheim a year after taking both Robert Hagg and Samuel Morin. They followed up by drafting Ivan Provorov the next season. So it was clear they valued the defensive position. Or they were just taking as many as they could and hoping at least one or two of them hit.
It is obvious that Provorov has done that as he is the team’s number one defensemen. The jury is still out on Morin and Hagg is what he is. For Sanheim, this was his third season in the league.
