Injury Report: Oct. 23: JVR close to skating (out 5-to-6 weeks, Oct. 8); Neuvirth could rejoin Flyers Oct. 25

[deadhead]

JVR and his 54 points last year, past the prime of his career, was certainly a steal, I mean, of course he should make more money than Bergeron, Gaudreau, MacKinnon, Terasenko, Sheiffele.
Hextall sure got a steal. Cant wait to see 34 year old 7 million dollar JVR toiling on the 4th line.

So would I, since he'll be a UFA.

October 23 updates (in case these have yet to be seen):

Practice Report: Hextall addresses state of team

* Michael Neuvirth is fully healthy and ready to go...​

LOL.


He should be fired just for stating that.

And yet Elliott will still be in giving up 4+ goals a night.

 

[deadhead]

To be fair to Elliott, he has looked better the last couple games, looks like he took something for his arthritis and was able to throw away his cane.

Comparing contracts signed in past offseasons, some even years ago to a contract signed this past sumer. Just a brilliant thought process.
Do people even think before they type? For the millionth time every year its a different market with a higher salary cap.
The JVR signing was fine relative to what other UFAs signed for this past summer

But why sign an injury prone player to a $35,000,000, deal?

This just in....Michael Neuvirth shuts car door on his leg and will be out indefinitely.

Oh van riemsdyk is definately worth 7 million for five years, I mean, he got over 50 points last year. Who doesnt think he should earn more than guys like Johnny Gaudreau?
I said it at the time, I watched him slow down in toronto and he is almost 30. When hextal is paying 7 million per year for old, fat, slow james while he is lucky to break 30 points you will all say, "beet was right".
It was a horrible signing. The same people who said giroux was overpaid at 8 million celebrated JVR at 7. Toronto were the smart ones with jvr, his best years at a good price. They were smart to let someone else overpay for a declining player.
Hextall seems to have a plan for the defence, but he is pretty baffling with what he does with the forwards.

bump. They will be lucky to not finish last. They got worse, not better. People tried to tell you all but you wouldnt listen. Enjoy the many years to come of JVR having zero impact and being out of the lineup more than in it.
