I agree but only at 4 mill or less. I proposed a deal where Patrick and JVR retained for Kerfoot + prospect + pick. But a 3rd team would have to retain on JVR cuz I don’t think Philly would

Philly accepts if retention is lowered. JVR is a guy whos contract we want to get rid of but at the same time he's a important piece for this team and would put a hole in the line up. Having 3.5 million in dead cap is still a lot to have for 2 years moving forward.

Have to send Rielly back just to keep the cycle going. Signs with Philly, traded to Leafs 3 seasons later for a 5th overall pick Dman.

I mean there are cheaper guys you can find to play that role.

JVR has not concept of backchecking.....so Leafs pass.

that's why I wrote a third team retains, Leafs would probably have to pay more tho

I'm more impressed that Hyman signed for just 3.75m

i think he's gonna low key take a big discount, I don't see him signing anything over 4

Yes....I am thinking atleast $4,000,000 to $4,500,000 for 5 years myself.
