The criticism JV gets is completely insane. He was one of our best producers last season. He was the best RW fit on the Miller/EP line (don’t get mad at me it’s just facts) and he’s still just 24.
Our already slow forward group doesn’t need to lose its fastest player. JV isn’t perfect but he’s sure as hell better than most in this market thinks he is. The media in this city is horrendous with their JV coverage. Zero facts, zero logic, just emotional drivel used to stir up controversy when there’s nothing to talk about.
Find me another player in the NHL who scored 18 goals (12 ES) in 69 games playing 13 minutes a night with 4th liners as his linemates. Seriously. Find me another guy who did that.
It’s also weird for a guy who “never hits” and “doesn’t have a physical game” to be 4th on the team in hits behind Miller, Edler, and Motte.
Weird... I’ve been told he doesn’t produce and doesn’t hit. Some of you really need to give your head a shake before talking about JV.
