I think JvR's draft position has led to him being a little over-rated. 3 years into the league, and he's producing like a decent but unspectacular 2nd line type player. Some of that has to do with the depth on the Flyers' roster, but, at the same time, it also says something about him as a player that he's been passed in the depth chart by Read, Voracek and Simmonds. For a guy who is supposedly a power forward in the making, his physical play isn't exactly anything to write home about, he's one of only 4 Flyers forwards who have played 28 or more games who is a minus player and, despite getting almost 3 minutes of PP time a game, he only has 5 PP points (the Flyers, by the way, have the 3rd more PP goals in the league). He still has some potential, sure, but, so does Schenn, and, quite frankly, I wouldn't trade Schenn straight up for JvR until he shows that he can be more than what he's been so far - especially considering he'll have a $4.25M cap hit for 6 years starting next season.
