I don't know how I feel about this but we had to do something with all the depth we have on the back end. Guess everyone wants to play with their brother now ;)

Let's hope he can parlay this into getting a centre man.

It was a matter of time before a D was dealt.

Really like this trade.

Kudos to Erndog!!!... (some folks will know what I'm talking about.)

Could this also mean we are making room for Schultz later this week? He and his agent said they are going to decide on wed where they end up and they are meeting in Toronto to do so.

But anyways we def got a quality young player back who has a long career ahead of him...
Be interesting to hear BB's presser on this trade.

On a comical note... i guess we now know that JVR is worth 10 first round picks, didn't BB say that's what it would take to get Luke away from TO at one point in time? ;)

Good 'ole fashioned hockey trade.

[RedLeaf]

Finally some action, and I like this trade. A lot.

Good trade? I geuss but I still think you guys will regret letting Schenn go. Good deal for Philly - more brothers united.

Why thank you :)

What can I say, I'm good ;)

[Kessel Run]

Not sold on JVR whatsoever.

Agreed. I guess you gotta give up something to get something.

Can he play center or is a left winger on the way out?

I like the trade. JVR played really well two seasons ago becoming a fan favorite and an emerging force. Lets all hope he's healthy. In my opinion Philly paid a premium to unite the brothers.

I hate to lose Schenn, but I've been a fan of JVR for quite a while. It's kind of shocking that he's ours now.
Best of luck to Luke Schenn, I think he fits right in with Philly.

Can he play center or is a left winger on the way out?

Not a natural centre but he can play all forward positions. But his health is what scares me to be honest.
