Sanheim agreed with the Flyers on an entry-level contract Thursday.

Analysis:

Sanheim appeared in training camp for the Flyers while his contract remained in limbo, before he was ultimately reassigned to the WHL's Calgary Hitmen on Wednesday. The defenseman played well in his one preseason game, but at 18 years old, he probably won't be heard from at the NHL level for quite some time.
