He's a terrible goalie.

JVR was signed to a new contract 4 1/2 months ago. and it was 6 years at 25.5 million.

ok.

Ah.. about the time i moved.. makes sense...

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.

I doubt forever.. but i'm sure it will be a long time...

- archion113

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.

don't worry flyersrock is a stand up goalie rocking that sub 4.00 GAA

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...

Wow, Leighton arguments. This place needs....

you mean play defense? yea some of our players suck at that

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.

Its not about our players or anyone's they can't crosscheck, grab etc, like they could 20 years ago.

apparently ryan clowe is pulling a JvR
