Eklund Rumor: JVR to Philadelphia Flyers? (E3)

[Deadly Dogma]

E1 - He made it up.
E2 - He made it up.
E3 - He made it up.
E4 - He made it up, but it somehow makes some sense.
E5 - already reported everywhere.

funny

 

[Sundinisagod]

the rumor also says that Nashville is in on it. if they offer Dante and a 1st i do it all day as a leafs fan

IMHO that would make a lot of sense for Toronto.

 

[KTG]

I really see a JVR to Philly trade making a lot of sense for a variety of reasons. Having played with this team before he has familiarity and chemistry. He would slot into that first line LW really well and give Philly proper depth. And in my mind Philly has to start making hay while their core is still in their prime.

I know Philly fans regard their D prospects really highly, but they have depth to spare and at some point they have to make a go for it with this core. I think this deal is fair value and makes sense for both clubs:

JVR for Read + Sanheim + Sandstrom

The value for this trade is two fold. Replacing 2 years of Read for 2 years of JVR for a difference of $625 000 works from a cap standpoint and Philly has an expansion spot for JVR. So you take the value of that and then the value of JVR and I think Sanheim and Sandstrom are fair value, and that still leaves Philly with an impressive stable of both D and goalie prospects.

Toronto adds depth to their back end at both D and in net, and they can easily afford Read for next season, try to trade him, or leave him open in expansion.

 

[Tripod]

Lol....easy no for JVR for the above deal.

JVR didn't have chemistry with anyone here. That's why he was traded.

 

[Appleyard]

Lol....easy no for JVR for the above deal.

I would not trade Sanheim alone for JvR.

Then throw in the guy who was named the best goalie at the WJC and is at .919 sv% as a teenager in the worlds ~third best league... and a solid 3rd liner who could probably return a 2nd on his own?

For a guy who is producing the same outside the PP as when we shipped him out? And would not be getting on our #1 PP?

No thanks.

Lol that deal is laughable

This.

Toronto can rightfully get more for JVR elsewhere. It's just not a match.

 

[Holymakinaw]

Well, JVR would instantly be Philly's best winger, so they'd certainly get a ton out of any deal. But what would Toronto get out of it?

The Leafs would need a top D prospect coming back, and probably a pick too. Morin or Sanheim, + more for sure.

So I don't think it makes sense for either team at this time. Toronto is knocking on the playoff door and will need JVR this season, and Philly can't afford to be trading away futures like that right now.

Ain't happenin'.

Nice try lmfao

Heard of Simmonds and Voracek?

 

[Holymakinaw]

LMAO. That's funny, Man.

 

[TheGroceryStick]

Bruins will kick tires with

McQuaid or Belesky
Senyshyn or Zboril
Pick

 

[Rich Nixon]

LMAO. That's funny, Man.

I can't even...I mean you can argue maybe that JVR and Simmonds are even, but if you want to put JVR next to Voracek, you're insane.

 

[Man Bear Pig]

LMAO. That's funny, Man.

JVR isn't better than Voracek and he's about even with Simmonds, although I'd prefer Simmonds over JVR. JVR just leaves so much to be desired. He'll give you first line production but you don't expect much else.

 

[TheGroceryStick]

They aren't. I'd take Simmonds any day.

everyone would take Simmonds over JVR if they want to be a playoff team

 

[backburner]

doesn't this guy always say more to come... and nothing ever does?

 

[Man Bear Pig]

I think most people would take him over JVR, yeah. If jvr put in the effort of Simmonds, he'd be an 80 point player. Instead, they put up similar numbers.

 

[7even]

LMAO. That's funny, Man.

Lolwut. I'd take Voracek over 2 JvRs.

 

[Man Bear Pig]

Eklund threads are more about discussion than whether it has any chance of happening. This entire site knows he's a fraud. It's hilarious that he's a "source".

You are high if you really think JVR is better than Voracek....and I am willing to bet almost every team takes Simmonds over him too.

Make a poll...should be fun to see even with all the Leafs homer votes....minus MBP.

Uh, only one guy thought that. The other was helping pile on that guy.

 

[Beef Invictus]

I don't want to watch JVR again. Please, no.

 

[Tripod]

Uh, only one guy thought that. The other was helping pile on that guy.

I read it wrong and was editing it

 

[Larry44]

You're right...it would have to be Sanheim +

No thanks on JVR. Don't need or want him in Philly. We'll keep Sanheim.
