Time to get Luke Schenn to the Leafs and then JvR retained for Luke.

JvR is going to make more than 7M lol wow. He should legally have to give Marner half the money.

Will miss yah James. Thanks for being one of the few bright spots in the especially dark years.

 

[Ace]

Oh thank god

Please give him 9M Philly!!!!!

So basically they got Luke Schenn for free. What a steal of a trade by the Flyers. The 6 year wait was worth it.

Congrats to JVR he is probably getting a huge contract.

He was a great Maple Leaf.

"Leafs lost the Schenn trade"

Will miss JVR, good luck to him in Philly. If you can shelter him with a Couturier, or even Giroux (if he can play center again and still has his 200 foot game) then he should be a fine piece.

one of the worst trades in franchise history. I was so pissed the minute it happened.

Thank god it isn't the Leafs. He gets anything more than 4 years Philly will regret it. And looks even worse if they let Simmonds walk.

Dude is legit one of the best players at tipping pucks in front of the net and magic on the PP in front of the net.

This feels right.

Poor coyotes lol

 

[OVO16]

Im glad JVR is gone. His half assed effort on a nightly basis was getting so tiring to watch. The only time you notice him was really on the powerplay.

 

[Starat327]

I'm not like...upset about it I guess, if it's true. But I'm not happy, either.

 

[Community]

7x7 is my guess.

Philly fans will say the same thing Toronto fans say. He is a great offensive players, but when hes not scoring he is extremely frustrating to watch.

Hopefully whoever is on his line helps to keep him from becoming too much of a passenger.

Yeah, probably. Evander Kane got 7M and he hit 50+ points for the first time in 6-7 years. One time 30 goal scorer.

Coyotes finally decide to spend money and this happens, lol.
