I wish I had that CSN Philly story bookmarked from a week or so ago. Somebody here posted a link to it. The writer described JVR's condition. It is very similar to what my doctor said I have. I have a growth coming off my hip bone. It restricts my range of motion somewhat but it is not painful until the joint bends to far. Tying my right shoe for example is difficult. He said I have a hip replacement in my future. I can still skate if I wanted to but the doc said that would most likely just accelerate the process. It's the reason I stopped playing two years ago. I wasn't able to get a strong enough push on my right side. At least not to my liking.

JVR might not need a hip replacement but he most likely needs to have the growth shaved off at some point. Sometime soon.

JVR is what 21 yrs old??? The kid will be a monster in a few years. So he's had an off year and been injured a bit. The Flyers shouldn't be thinking about trading this guy, especially straight up for Schenn. Size, speed, and hands... they don't come like that too often.

It's also what the laffs blogger is talking about... I would do JVR and a pick for Schenn and Kadri..

That's almost as absurd as JvR for Stamkos

He'll be turning 23 soon, but his skill-set is oozing with potential greatness.

Flyers need size up front. I think your forward group gets too small with those addtions. While Schenn would add much needed grit to the backend.

I think we're going to see Schenn land in Anaheim as part of a Getzlaf deal.

Its funny bc people thought the Flyers shouldnt of traded Richards and Carter either. JvR has potential but so does Schenn. JvR has to prove himself more before I start labeling him "untouchable". He had a nice playoff series last year against Boston but that dont define a player in my opinion. Just my thoughts, nothing against your post.

Ziggy is a blue (but has white markings, so he's "flawed"). Got him from PAWS. But they are just really human-centered, friendly cats. My first blue used to play fetch with a superball. He was a little dog in a cat suit.

I dont doubt that at all. JvR is a power forward who was drafted number two overall. This is why I dont think the trade will happen bc I dont see Toronto offering more than Schenn.

Yes! Thanks doc.

I believe CAM is the term that the CSN writer referred to. So how debilitating is this long term iyo?

My question to you is who is a better player, JvR or Getzlaf? Just curious.
