Both Travis Sanheim and Phil Myers have all of the key elements to making an excellent hockey player. Both Sanheim and Myers boast great size and speed a combination that is lethal for any mobile two-way defenseman. With Sanheim standing at 6'3 and Myers at 6'5 the size advantage is noticeable against most NHL players, but it's their ability to recover on breakdowns that's even more impressive. A skill that most top-tier players must learn when playing a tight defensive game. It's why all of the best defensive players are relentless when around the puck.
As both Sanheim and Myers continue to develop their usage will continue to increase and with Niskanen's early departure from the team, opportunity knocks. Check out Yariv Wolok's latest breakdown of who of the two has the best chance to take the top vacancy left by Niskanen.
