I bet you liked his 36 goals though! Don't worry though; they can be replaced very easily!

36 goals? the guys SUCKS. he was sheltered while playing with Toronto. Philly fans are going to eat him alive with his lazy ass

I can see him doing fine there. He can play the same role and have Giroux bounce pucks off him on the PP like Kessel and Marner did.

Decent deal for Philly because of the term. He might actually earn it the last year. With what Kane got for a pretty thin body of work the money is fine to me.

Good luck JVR, I like you but 7 mil per year for you is laughable.

7 million is laughable for anyone.

 

[aingefan]

All the best JVR.

 

[Mr Hockey]

happy i dont have to see him chewing his guard! ... He should do well in Philly, gl

 

[Paradoc]

Great offensive winger that can boost your powerplay unit, but poor defensively and needs to be sheltered 5v5 to be an effective player. I wish him for success with Philly.

 

[Mugzy97]

Not worth 7 million a year. See ya JVR

 

[HomerJLeafs]

he was so f***ing cute on that SN interview
but what a lazy bum on the ice
not gonna miss him
bye

$7M is too much for a player that needs to be sheltered like crazy.

It's not about replacing his 37 goals. It's about replacing about half that and then allowing 20+ fewer goals. A goal prevented = a goal scored.
