What a difference a year makes. Last year at this time, it was pretty clear that the top two defenders on the Philadelphia Flyers were Ivan Provorov and Travis Sanheim. Rasmus Ristolainen had some major question marks after his first year in Philly. Tony DeAngelo had yet to be traded to Philadelphia. Justin Braun was a pending free agent after finishing his season with the Rangers. Everyone was hoping that Ryan Ellis might be healthy enough to play in the upcoming season. The sixth spot was probably going to go to a young player like Nick Seeler, Cam York, or Ronnie Attard, depending on how training camp went.
Ivan Provorov Trade Should be a Wakeup Call for Travis Sanheim
