The Maple Leafs are in on this Philadelphia Flyers Defenseman
The fate of Travis Sanheim, a young defenseman, rests on the interest of potential suitors.
Despite his impressive track record of winning the Barry Ashbee Trophy and Pelle Lindbergh Memorial Trophy, Sanheim's performance this season has been a disappointment.
Reportedly #GoJetsGo have been in talks with the Flyers to explore options for Travis Sanheim. Per

However, his coach, Tortorella, helped him achieve 23 points in 81 games while decrying his lack of consistency on the ice.
Many believed that Sanheim had great potential in the 2021-2022 season, leading to a significant increase in his salary.
There are rumors that Toronto is considering him, and a fresh start under Sheldon Keefe may be just what he needs.
The only challenge remains figuring out how to make the finances work in a cap crunch, but Brad Treliving will find a solution.
It looks all that this depends upon is the St. Louis deal, which is not signed, sealed and delivered just yet.
As we wait to see how/if this Flyers/Blues deal pans out, a few teams spoke with Philly about Sanheim, including the Toronto Maple Leafs. If Sanheim doesn't go to STL, I suspect those talks will pick back up (if they haven't already). Leafs also have poked on Hanifin in Calgary.
