I don't know how I feel about this but we had to do something with all the depth we have on the back end. Guess everyone wants to play with their brother now ;)
 
Could this also mean we are making room for Schultz later this week? He and his agent said they are going to decide on wed where they end up and they are meeting in Toronto to do so.

But anyways we def got a quality young player back who has a long career ahead of him...
Be interesting to hear BB's presser on this trade.

On a comical note... i guess we now know that JVR is worth 10 first round picks, didn't BB say that's what it would take to get Luke away from TO at one point in time? ;)
 
Good trade? I geuss but I still think you guys will regret letting Schenn go. Good deal for Philly - more brothers united.
 
I like the trade. JVR played really well two seasons ago becoming a fan favorite and an emerging force. Lets all hope he's healthy. In my opinion Philly paid a premium to unite the brothers.

JVR: http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/teams/players/bio/?id=6041

Age: 23
DOB: 1989/05/04
POB: Middletown, NJ
Height: 6-3 Weight: 200lbs
Shoots: L
NHL Seasons: 3
Drafted by Philadelphia in 2007 (1/2).

his best year was

2010-11 Philadelphia NHL 75 21 19 40

really came on in the second half of the season, and put up 7 goals in 11 playoff games that year. Prototypical Power forward.

Leafs win this deal.
 
I hate to lose Schenn, but I've been a fan of JVR for quite a while. It's kind of shocking that he's ours now.
Best of luck to Luke Schenn, I think he fits right in with Philly.
 
Love it: Happened to be on Eklund's site (slumming it, I know) right after I saw Dreger and Bobby Mac break the Schenn trade on Twitter; here's what his post said:

"*Flyers and Leafs are reportedly in discussions.. I am told it is NOT JvR for Schenn."

I just remembered why I like to visit that site this time of year: I just LOVE to see Eklund smear more egg on his face.  ;D
 
Least out of the blue trade in a long time. I'm not sure I love it, especially with JvR's health issues, but, hopefully, he actually blossom's into the player so many people want him to be.
 
I don't think you can declare a winner in this trade yet.

JVR hasn't lived up to his potential, but neither has Schenn depending on who you ask.
