Really?

He's had a couple tough games...but I think you keep him for a long time.

JVR doesn't care enough on most nights to ever really be a guy that should be someone you depend on.

I find a lot of these former college players who are used to playing 30-40 games per year in college like to take off 20-30 NHL games off per year. Some are worse offenders than others.

It also drives me crazy how much he floats around the ice and never uses his size to his advantage.

I don't mind keeping him but if you can package him in a deal for an upgrade like Ryan O'reilly. I'd do it

Are you ok? I mean...like mentally??? you dont trade a young...gifted not to mention signed to an amazing contract player like JVR for a guy like ROR that quite frankly doesnt bring what Bozak does.......he doesnt win Faceoffs, doesnt play the entire lenght of the ice, and oh, will want over $6 million long term deal as his next deal......sorry......just doesnt make sense!!!

you claim JVR doesnt come out to play every night? can you possible list the players that do.....and our list should start with crosby, Toews etc.....get my point? Jvr is close to a point per game player right now.....and signed....and young....see where I'm going with this????

I was screwing around with the idea of JVR being traded and I used Duchene as the type of center I would want back.
- Aaron_85

Try to get full value for JVR, I'm thinking someone like Crosby or stamkos

I wonder if you would be able to get Stastny for a little cheaper or try and get Steen back. Brad Richards for a little cheaper as well.

What about Anisimov, or Vermette?

Long shot, go for Kesler?

So, does No-nuts try to make a minor trade for a d-man? Polak is a huge loss for our backend....

We are going to have an overload of forwards soon. Booth, Kozun and Lupul coming back. Maybe trade a depth forward for a depth D?

Depends on how long Polak is out for, I suppose.

So my Yahoo Fantasy Hockey app is telling me that MacTavish is looking for a top line centre in return for David Perron.

Guess he's staying an Oiler..

Leaf fans don't have a vast vocabulary of positive words. I'm a thesaurus for words like futile, though.
