JVR traded for Luke Schenn

[mattola]

Take note a year ago today was the Richards and Carter trades

Crazy

@ellejay8: IncepSCHENN. Or something. RT @davegisaac Brayden and Luke Schenn both became Flyers on June 23. Somehow that makes them even more related..

 

[rares]

Hmm... maybe I'm in the minority feeling this way but I never really saw anything special in Schenn so, to me, Toronto wins this one by a landslide. /shrug

You're not in the minority at all. May be the majority throughout most hockey fans.

@Eklund Nothing to the JVR to Leafs for Schenn Rumors

HAHAHHAHAHAHAHA. That's legitimate by the way. 2 hours ago.

Well at least he is consistent with fucking up his predictions.

I feel that way about both players in the trade. Once again, much like the trade between Columbus and Philly, value-wise the trade is an absolute wash, with every bit of it tied up in unrealized potential.

Burkie sure loves Americans - Maybe Toronto should change from Maple Leafs to Apple Pies?!?

Apple pie with grapes on the side and a cherry on top. Coaches corner is going to be fun this season.....assuming the Leafs suck.

not sure they will this year Boss. I think Randy is a WAY WAY better coach than Wilson in todays NHL. I also think they will be smarter in the UFA pool and that some upcoming trades will make them a decent team

that being said they stay with Reimer as their #1 then all bets are off

 

[raptorlife4]

Gooddeal for both teams
FLyers have the depth to take a shot at a solid D-man who is young.
JVR will help the Leafs if he stays healthy

Leafs need centers, not wingers.

 

[elocomotive]

I hope this is the first of many moves from Philly. I want to see them vastly re-shape their lineup every year. Everyone knows that is a key to success... just ask the Detroit Red Wings.

This ^^^^^

JVR holds all the talent and tools to turn into a C if they wanted to take the time. I think He'd be more of a Carter type C with the shoot first mentality.

Which isn't exactly what the Leafs need

Well they also didn't need Komisarek and Conolly but they did that so.....

 

[flyersfan4706]

JVR will be a Canuck in tomorrow's Luongo trade.

 

[blindbaby]

Schenn's in Philly; hide your cheesesteaks.

Might actually be a good trade for both teams.

lol ...and if the Pens picked him up he'd be the next coming of Lidstrom. right?

 

[4thstreet]

Schenn 6'2" 229

hits and blocks shots-something a lot of the big flyers d-men don't do enough of.
