Bang on.

Problem is people see 2nd round pick and assume its a top line player. Once the draft is over theyll see the 2nd round pick for the matt finn, brad ross and kenny ryan that it really is.

Wedgie's Official Stance on Trading JVR:

If we can trade him for his equivalent on defence, go for it.

If not, keep him.
- Atomic Wedgie

Add me to that list.

Leafs are near the top of the NHL with JVR (and Bozak for that matter who is playing much better by the way). So let's send the message to the team that has worked their asses off to get there by saying "You're not good enough - we're passing on this years playoffs". Guess I'm just too loyal to the guys that got them there. Good thing I'm not an NHL GM.

If you’re not a top 5 team, in which the Leafs are, you should trade any UFAs because you can’t win. It’s been proven.

I just read about Jordan Staal...so sad.

Trade him for a bunch of picks so hunter can get us a couple 6'7 D who suck in junior or some overaged russians who dont put up pts in russia.

Terrible.

But what's JVR's equivalent? 4/5? We have a ton of those guys; I don't see the point.

Still to the plan: if JVR isn't part of the long-term plans, move him for beaucoup assets.

Imagine we could get a 1st, 2nd, and a quality center prospect for him?

JVR is a top line forward.

Anyone who tells you different is a hating hater who hates.

He's the 11th highest-scoring left winger over this year and last (although NHL.com is pretty weird about listing wingers as centres, so give or take a few places).

Hating Haterz who Hate may scoff at a top 2 defenceman for JVR, but only a moran would say he isn't worth a #3 defenceman.

My daughter was addicted to those surprise pack collectibles - never knowing what she'll get, hoping the next pack contains a super rare Moshi Monster...maybe it's infectious.

Won't help them this playoffs or the next 3/4/5?

I'm too old - I'd like to see them head into this playoff with the best team they can, then deal with all the other theoretic BS after. These players deserve it.

If JVR nets you a roster player who helps the team win today without taking a step backwards - I'm in.

I should add - I don't want a rental either.

Nope. The 5th overall Leafs aren’t true Cup contenders, so they should just trade the UFAs. In fact, they should just throw in the towel and forfeit the rest of the season. No point playing as they guaranteed to lose.

No guarantees here either though.
