JVR is going to get paid. And like Kessek, if a team can shelter his shitty defense; it should work out.

There was another guy, off the top of my head I think his name was Hossa or something, that worked out alright.

I said before last Christmas JVR had engaged more physically already last season than all his other years combined.
Money matters.

Kane got $7M. JVR is getting $8M. Although JVR is a little older, he's scored more and teams are not scared off by his off-ice rep -- which is why there are 12 -- twelve -- teams looking at him. I don't think there were too many teams interested in Kane. Now that he's finally on a good team, Kane will turn out to be a better contract though.

I think the devils would be in on this because they are looking for goal scorers but then again my dark horse in this JVR race would have to be Colorado.

Nashville should be in on him. Just think of the amount of deflections and tip ins he’ll capitalize on with shots coming from their blue line

If this hockey reporting thing doesn’t work out for him he’d be an excellent weatherman.
Tomorrow there will be weather. Weather.
From what it looks like as a third party fan I'm pretty sure Kapanen or Johnson just need to be competent defensively and hit 15-20 goals to compensate for JVR's 30-35 goals and absolutely horrid defensive effort. Seriously did that guy ever do anything within his blueline other than coast around and chew on his mouth guard? Babcock had to give him charmin soft minutes with Bozak to insulate them. Last time he played against tough opposition at evens he was a -33. Has a bunch of size, refuses to use it. Always been the book on him since his Philly days. Definitely a fantastic powerplay tipper though with beautiful hands in tight. Someone is going to end up giving way too much term and money for what will soon be, at best, a powerplay specialist winger that's a black hole defensively.
100% right on.
He'll be out of the league in 3 years.
Buyout candidate for sure if he signs for 6 years.

2 is better than one
You think JVR will be out of the league in three years?
Good player. Great around the net - easiest option to put in-front of goalie for tips and the like.
Doesn't hustle, doesn't play defense, always leaves you wanting and expecting more, which generally ends in the playbase turning on him.
Whoever signs him will love him the first year, like him the second year, and be frustrated with him the third year.

Yup..bookmark it.
He's slow, lazy, and terrible defensively.
Amazing hands though.
If he loses another step he's done.
Alright Dreger, when you have a specific number of teams interested in a popular free agent, please don't tell us. Stop telling us things that you hear behind the scenes in hockey.
We're good here, man. We're totally happy without insider info and with bad trade proposals alllllll offseason!
hes bad in some areas that players are good at, but hes also elite in some areas that a lot are not good at
