All indications are that James van Riemsdyk is going back to the Philadelphia #Flyers on a deal to be announced Sunday. #TSN

Elliotte Friedman @FriedgeHNIC
Word tonight James van Riemsdyk is going back to PHI

Like I said in the other thread, at least it's not AZ. Don't want teams in division snagging a 30 goal scorer.

[dammage79]

Cool for Philly. They need the goals since they dont have goaltending.

[Heavy Jack]

Damn

[topfiverecords]

Good, if not here, everyone good should stay out East.

[Roof-Daddy]

Man is Philly ever loaded on offense. I wonder if they deal Simmonds?

[Heavy Jack]

Frolik + Kylington for Simmonds

[Roof-Daddy]

Now watch them sign Bozak too.

[Erick Estrada]

Was a mistake when they moved him in the first place as they got fleeced by Burke. Should be a good fit for both parties.

[Heavy Jack]

^^ Luke schenn anyone

Bucci Mane @Buccigross
James van Riemsdyk will sign a 5 year deal with @NHLFlyers. 7 million dollar cap number

[dammage79]

Ooof. I guess the Wayne Simmonds era in Philly is over.

[Heavy Jack]

Little too rich by about 500k per

[Aarongavey]

Watch him regain the scoring touch he had in his first tour of duty in Philly. That is a good payday for a guy who goes MIA in the playoffs.

[Vinny01]

Good deal for Philly keep the term reasonable.

[Beninho]

Wow that’s a big number

[GoJetsGo]

I wouldn't want any part of him or Neal at that kind of cap hit / term.

[Owen15]

Would you trade him straight up for E.Kane?

I wouldn’t.

[transplant99]

NHL.com has TOI data since 1997-98. James van Riemsdyk this season was the only player to score 35+ goals while averaging less than 15 minutes of TOI (14:54)

[Roof-Daddy]

I really can't believe he signed for $14 million less than Kane.

I guess Kane is 2 years younger, but still. That's a lot of money.
