Luke Schenn vs JVR based on HF

[jkearse123]

I am 100% for this trade. I think it's a win-win for both teams.

Schenn recieved an 8.5 with a B probability.

JVR recieved an 8 with a B probability.

So while JVR may be perceived as having higher upside, the HF scouting people felt differently.

Schenn gives us a young, physical defender with plenty of room to grow.

Isn't afraid to fight to stick up for teammates

I'm also really worried about JVR's injury history. He had a concussion, abdominal tear, fractured foot, etc.

We got right handed physical Defencman and a room for an winger. If only we can land Bobby Ryan. For me it is a good deal.

the hockey fights link highlights the young man's strength, it looks to be considerable. kaleta is no sissy and he bends him like a piece of licorice, lots of upperbody strength on that move...

The only problem with this trade is the Schenn will be getting a lot of suspensions now that he's a Flyer.

Mojo! Stop being so positive... You will get 90% of the Flyers fans upset....

This is a great trade for the Flyers.. Schenn could develop into another Adam Foote...I had enough of JVR , no heart and too soft for a big guy..

@jkearse123

What does the B mean for probability as opposed to a C or D?

I get the 8.5 projections and all, but I don't get the probability rankings.

Also I couldn't help notice Lindy Ruff crying at the end of that second video.

Sorry dude I didn't see this until now.

But it says something when Schenn was ranked higher than JVR at one point
