Travis Sanheim – Ryan McDonagh

The comparison most famously used regarding Travis Sanheim was Ryan McDonagh, by TSN draft guru Craig Button.

"“I think Travis Sanheim at the same age is like (Rangers star defenseman) Ryan McDonagh,” said Button, who formerly was director of scouting for the Dallas Stars and general manager for the Calgary Flames. “That’s what I see in Travis Sanheim. He’s a superb skater, a superb thinker, really calm and collected with the puck. He’s a guy who really has the ability as a defenseman to control the game, and those guys are hard to find."

I do wonder, however, if Sanheim is becoming more of an offensive defenseman than McDonagh.
