Watching jvr in the 2011 playoffs, the guy definitely has another level he can bring even in spite of his mediocre regular season stats

Nik? said:That stands to reason. He's younger and defensemen usually take longer to develop. Outside of some much needed Americanness, I don't see what this adds.
What an absolute dog.

That's probably fair. I guess I just feel Schenn is more likely to show serious improvement. I'd say I'm probably luke warm on this one.

It's safe to say that if Burke is done, then the Leafs are in trouble. What this move does do is open up guys like Kadri, Kulemin, Frattin and McArthur to being moved in a deal that might actually fill some of the glaring holes. Kulemin especially is, at least I think so, a semi-attractive player that, if packaged properly, could net the Leafs a pretty decent return.Frank E said:I'm just wondering why they're rolling the dice on an injury prone winger...they have those, and with Kadri and Frattin coming onto the scene...
I'm still not understanding why they're screwing around with risky sideways moves that don't address the big huge holes.

Nik? said:Personally, I mean, when I think of a team adding "size" it really has to mean more than just height.
bustaheims said:I agree, which is why I wasn't exactly definitive in my statement. I guess, really, what he brings is bigness up front.

I'd be more worried if he was done.

I guess. We already had Colborne if we needed a tall, ineffectual presence though.

I take it you're neither a fan of Colbourne or JVR. Bummer.

I think Nik is right on the verge of becoming an Islanders fan... He likes what they are doing.
