Value of: James van Riemsdyk

[Limeyjim]

The Flyers aren't shopping JVR, but what player could be acquired via a trade for the 31 year old left winger. He is very good when he parks himself in front of the opposing goalie, that's where he gets his great tip-in goals.

At 7M caphit i don't any interest. He's way overpaid and with another 2 years on that contract it woudl be difficult to move.

Odd, too; I didn't think the Flyers were playing today and so they couldn't have just lost a game.

 

[SML2]

Probably a Claude Giroux or Jakub Voracek

 

[DingDongCharlie]

I don’t see anyone offering anything of value for his contract

I see this a lot, but just think, since the Flyers signed him:

138 games, 49g+44a=93pts

For 82 games, that paces for: 29g+26a=55 pts

JVR has been exactly as expected. Yes due to covid, his deal is now high but at the time the Flyers paid a bit more to make sure there was no NMC like usual UFA's get.

And just remember, a few years ago UFA's like Skinner got 9 million.

Some people just hate JVR but he is the same that he was in Toronto and replacing his 29 goals a year would not be as easy as some think.

People go overboard with JvR because he’s so streaky. His returns are absolutely fine though and I’m not overly bothered about trading him.

 

[Unbiased Fan]

Jeff Skinner, Mittelstad and 1st

JVR is definately a solid piece just his cap hit is hard to fit in for most teams. His term isnt bad with only 2 years left after this one.

I wish the leafs had cap space to bring him back as he is a really good PP player with good offensive talent. Hes the perfect 3rd line offense guy who plays on top PP in front of the net.

And the thing is, the Flyers have not even taken full advantage of him on the PP. the last 2 years with us he has 13 and 9 PP points compared to 18-22 the last 4 years in Toronto.

So yeah, JVR has been what was expected on the ice.

 

[Mrfenn92]

Won’t be much with the cap hit. Philly needs him and he’s been solid.

 

[Legend123]

Next? Hayes?

 

[Ryan Michaels]

At risk of going off topic one horrifying overpay that might make the hall of fame of worst contracts in NHL history isn't a good bench mark for anything. Also I wouldn't say "UFA's like Skinner got 9 million" that implies that wasn't eye-popping insanity the second the ink dried, which it was, and that there were others of Skinner's ilk making 9, which their weren't.

 

[Lukin1978]

Are we going to have trade threads for everyone on the Flyers? Stay tuned the days not over yet.

Oh I agree.

But knowing the JVR got 5 years when UFA's were getting 6-8 AND JVR got no NMC, the Flyers paid a bit more in cap hit for not giving up those things. If there was no Covid, UFA contracts would have continued to go up. Well....all contracts actually.

But again, 29 goal and 55 points per 82 games, JVR has done what he was paid to do.

All created by the same guy. Maybe an agenda going on.

 

[Dooble08]

Here's an idea.....Seattle. That's the only way we unload him. With Covid and so many teams up against salary constraints, nobody will take on 7 million for JVR.

No, just those three. I wanted to see what sort of player each one of them could include in a swap. I like the rest of the team, except for the mistakes they have on defence (Hagg-Gostisbehere-Gustafsson).

 

[Starat327]

Next? Hayes?

Nah, Hayes is a hero around here because he texts the team in a WhatsApp message. The old guard need to go, because its their fault they couldn't drag the team to a Stanley cup while rebuilding, and kts their fault the coach continues to force a system he doesn't have the personnel to play.

I mean sure but teams still don't have cap room and the ones that do have it because they don't want to spend money.

James Neal and Kassian/Khaira for JVR

 

[YP44]

Jeff Skinner, Mittelstad and 1st

flyers should take that and run

why would the Flyers do that?

What do you expect ? Prime assets ? He is a cap dump therefore you are getting cap dumps back unless you are adding value to him
