Elkhorn native Travis Sanheim unfazed by Flyers' management woes

The Flyers have already sacked their general manager and head coach Dave Hakstol remains on the hot seat, but tumultuous times on Broad Street haven't put a damper on the development of one of Philadelphia's prize young defenceman — Travis Sanheim.

The 22-year-old sophomore from Elkhorn, a first-round (17th overall) pick by then-GM Ron Hextall in the 2014 draft, appears to have turned the corner on his development in his first full season as an NHLer.

"We've had a couple of crazy weeks here," said Sanheim, following Philly's 7-1 drubbing at the hands of the Winnipeg Jets at Bell MTS Place Sunday afternoon.
