Van Riemsdyk has hands of gold. Especially down low he can raise the puck with little snap in the wrist. It was his bread and butter especially on the PP. Philly will definitely have a use for him. Dollar value on an annual basis, it's probably about right, but that term is ridiculous. He's already a little on the slower side. His contract after 2 years will be one they'll be stuck with for another 3. Too long of term. Hope Treliving stays clear of long term deals this summer.

JVR had an offer from SJ for 3 years * $6.85M. He really wanted to take it, but didn’t want to wait for the Tavares deal to settle out. If Tavares signs then SJ doesn’t have money for him and he misses out on Philly money. He was in contact with SJ until around 2pm. SJ is shocked that he got the extra 2 years. They don’t blame him for taking the extra $14.5M.

How does he miss out on Philly money? There’s a history and a fit there and am sure the Flyers could wait an extra hour or so tomorrow AM to have the Tavares thing settle out and then offer JVR a deal...as I don’t think Philly is scrambling to take the first available forward at 10am.

It's free agency. You don't offer term, you don't get the player.
