JVR only had 18 assists all year so it's not like he was a playmaking machine. Pretty much net, deflect.
The difference is Kappy has speed plus D. He's trusted to PK as well so doesn't need to be sheltered.
With Kappy on the team, I have no problem letting JVR walk. Someone else can finish off those feeds from Marner or whoever. They may lose a few goals that only JVR could've deflected but that will be easily made up for on the defensive side.
They may score a few less goals but they may win a few more close games. The defensive woes of this team have to be addressed
