why don't we give him a 9 year contract

well there's your starter and back-up in one. they both play all the time. no need for coaching announcements or made up media controversy. sounds like a good idea to me.

he's an excellent ahl goalie and a legit nhl backup, that's what he is. not terrible. not by a longshot. has he played terribly at the worst times for the flyers? yes. but even the best can play poorly at the wrong time.

stand up goalies are basically obsolete because dmen can't do the stuff they used to be able to.

Ok so JVR gets a cap hit of 4.25 and a modified no move?

I like JvR... but i don't know if i woulda thrown that kinda dough at him so early...

Couldn't we have just resigned him as a RFA and then taken him to arbitration? Eh.. i guess maybe arbitration might have given him the same amount... guess it doesn't matter much now...

forever. brodeur is pretty much the last of what can even remotely be considered a standup goalie, and i don't see kirk mclean coming out of retirement any time soon.

I disagree with you more than i have ever disagreed with anyone in my life.

He is not an NHL backup goalie. He's a career AHL'er.

But, since evaluating talent is more opinion based than fact based, i'll respect your opinion of him.
