i think JVR is a real solid player but his value as a player gets inflated in these parts by that contract.
- DoubleDown

Same thing with Dion and his contract but it goes the other way.

He is a solid player, but I do think Drouin will end up being the better player in the long run.

I went to look at Leafs TV on Rogers and it was unavailable.
- zazzle

When did you look? I checked yesterday morning and it wasn't listed. Then yesterday evening, there it was.

that's like saying JVR has equal value to Morgan Rielly.
- DoubleDown

He doesn't here, but it depends on organizational need. That's kinda why trades happen.

How? Press boxing new signings?

or have we assumed that Grabner and Lups are going to be hurt in pre-season (45% chance)
- AdamFrench

The Leafs are already spending the LTIR cap savings on these two, on new contracts for Stamkos and Kane.

May not be as far fetched as you might think. Weber is at his peak and the Preds are closer to win now mode than a youth movement.
- Phenom

I really doubt the Preds have any interest at all in moving Jones

sorry I don't have the required confidence in Drouin and his potential to Trade JVR straight up for him at this point in time.
- jimi james

Forget about whether Drouin has enough potential (he does), getting rid of JVR's laziness is addition by subtraction.

I would trade JVR for Drouin all day long and run away giggling when the fax went through.

I can tell you one thing. A JVR for Drouin trade would be a better return than what we got for Kessel.

by a country mile

Yeah... there is no way NSH is doing that
- twiztedmike

Seth Jones for JVR !?!?

Hahahahaha, yeah, Nashville puts Lou on speakerphone and the whole organization snickers behind their hands during the discussion.

JVR's laziness was all Kessel's influence























NOW

I really doubt the Preds have any interest at all in moving Jones
- robin_steele264

I don't either, for the record. But if they did, it could be a possibility I think.

that's like saying JVR has equal value to Morgan Rielly.
- DoubleDown

It is even worse than that.

I would take Seth Jones over Morgan Rielly, by a narrow margin.

- Phenom

If Weber is at his peak and going to go down why would they trade away his replacement??

He'll still be at his peak for a few more years and they have a stacked D corps with youth on their side. It wouldn't hurt them all that much. It's at forward where they have the biggest need.

I bet 1000000000$ they don't trade Jones

They would trade Weber first because they would want to clear that salary & he'll bring just as many assets in return.

Marner, Komagod, Soshnikov was a line running drills. They aren't in the lineup though

Notably, the GOAT is also not suiting up.
