Perfect. I love the line right under the Ford logo where it says, "Home of no doc fees." So there we go. He isn't a doctor!

A very sensible article and he makes convincing arguments for keeping JVR.

Perhaps he's right that we under-value our defense?

i didnt like the article much...

not because im for trading JVR, but theres nothing new or anything we don't already discuss in here..

at the end he says "if JVR leaves you don't lose him for nothing"



if he walks..

YOU GET NOTHING!!!

I think both sides can agree. And that is that it would be silly to trade him at the deadline unless they are blown away.

Shattenkirk and Alzner are both great d men. It would be stupid for them to not look though that route first. Maybe one of them holds the leafs as their top choices and will take a little less who knows.

Yeah, that was the biggest weakness of the article. The whole "if you keep him until he walks, you don't get nothing, you get JVR until his contract ends" argument is never one I thought highly of.
Letting him walk for nothing is still poop even if he plays great up until that point.

I suppose it is possible they could resign him. Maybe he'll actually sign a value contract to stay on a team that could be a contender soon?

I wonder how much he will get paid on an open market. ~20 point defenceman, but well regarded.
