He's not that extreme, though

Yeah, he's worse. He can actually fight.

Only think I'd add is maybe the Flyers lost the trade, but not to the level it's made out to be. JVR is highly overrated as a player in my opinion. I still like the reasoning behind making the trade, it just hasn't worked out as hoped.

Highly overrated by whom? He's a proven top 6 forward in the league. One of Holmer's good contracts. The Leafs have him at 4.25 for another 3 years at the prime of his career while the flyers received a bottom pairing defenseman getting paid more than twice his worth. If it wasn't a fleece job it's about as close as it gets to one.

Yes, people have said this, this summer.

they were saying it then... luke's arrival here was less than lukewarm.

By most Flyers fans. Equivalent to the level that Luke Schenn is underrated by some Flyers fans as a defenseman. The most recent example, is Schenn being labeled a # 6 defenseman in the league. There is no basis to make the argument that Schenn is paid more than twice his worth. Unless you just want to pull numbers out of thin air. That's just more hyperbole along the lines of "Grossmann blows".
JVR is a good player, but not a star that many make him out to be,
