Thank god the brian burke era is finally disapating … not a bad player but if hangin out in front of the net with your mouth guard hangin out wearin board shorts is what your lookin for than jvr yours man
As a Leafs fan, I liked JVR with us, but I thank god the Leafs didn't give him a deal like this. JVR IS NOT WORTH 7MILL!!! Great PP guy, pretty good on 5 on 5. Can't play defense at all. I can't remember a single great defensive play he ever made with the Leafs.
this was an easy one for me. The Flyers needed a top 6 LW who can score. He averaged 31 goals per year in the 6 years in Toronto. and let's remember, he played on some pitiful teams. to be honest, the Flyers should of never traded him. Paul Holmgren is, was, and always will be a jack ass.
I dreaded this day and hoped it would never come but alas my fav leaf is moving on. A class act on and off the ice and there’s no one in the nhl that will ever be as good as he is in his “ office” in front of the net. Gonna miss ya bro !
see yah later jvr you wee a great player for toronto you will be missed here many memories will watch your highlight reals of philly hope you get 40 plus goals in usa philli for year to come
Great when you were a part . Glad for ya as a flyer . Have a good stretch man ! See as the new season begins and good luck James . I'm still going to cheer for the leafs .!!!!
I CAN'T believe Philadelphia has committed 5 years and a cap hit of 7 million a year to him!! Good player, but at 6"3 he plays like he's 5"3. The Flyers took the bait on a player having his career year in his contract year. They usually disappoint badly.

Why Philadelphia? Simple. They offered him the most money and term.
Good luck JVR

Congrats Flyers. You got a great player. Always classy and was loyal even during the worst of the Leafs. We will definitely miss him and Bozak
😭

Gonna miss you on our Leafs. Best wishes for your future in Philly!
Flyers will trade him again at the deadline for Luke Schenn
he wont score 36 ever again in my opinion. maybe on a team like the leafs but certainly not on the flyers
JVR will be missed but unfortunately the Leafs had to let him go. All the best to him back in Philly.
The pigeon returns to philly
Uhh, cool! Uhhhhhh

Goodbye JVR, may you continue to score filthy goes as long as you play.
I wish you luck, just not when you play the Leafs, lol. Thanks for those 6 years.

Uh. Um uh
All these teams seeking free agents should have the players take an IQ test. Their interest may go down after seeing the results.
Toronto will miss him 🙁 he is my favorite! Watch out for him in front of that net! Master of Redirect 😉
