While jvr is over paid by about 1-2mil, hes still a lock for 45-55 pts, for those that look at him as a pure salary dump, hes not.
Philly moves him not just for cap space but because they have Giroux, konexckny, voracek, lindblom, farabee at wing, with Coots, Hayes and Laughton at center and youngsters like frost, Allison pushing for top 9 time.
While its a big contract to move, don't fool yourself into thinking he has negative value, IMO hes worth more than a mid 2nd and 3rd. While PHI might let him go in expansion, he does have value.
