I think he’s a good choice. I hear he’s a good locker room guy too.
Nice, I’ll take it. $900k is not much either
Good for his role. Not a big goal scorer anymore but 10 from the 3/4th line and stays out of the box. Should definitely be an asset for all the young forwards as well. Can’t find much wrong for a vet like that under 1m.
Love this
Not who I would’ve wanted personally but definitely a good pickup. It’s weird finally seeing 35+ veteran players on the roster again thank you Donny for bringing in more experienced leadership.
I like this more than kessel, but there’s still a lotta cap to make up
Good value pick up. James also had the most points of unsigned UFAs out there except for Pavelski. And James is a winger.
Pavelski retired even though he was still producing at a high level. I didn’t expect him to come out of retirement.
I have no complaints about this!
Welcome to Columbus JVR!
Love the pickup, he was one of the remaining UFAs that I am borderline happy to see.
JVR has a work ethic that he can share with the young players. He’s been a part of very competitive teams so he’ll be able to provide some great insight. I see him on our 3rd line along sillinger because JVR lives for those chippy, rebound type plays. Unreal hands
The Old Age Outlaws ride again
Now sign Kessel and we will have all the infinity stones, Don.
The people (me) want Uncle Phil in Columbus. Imagine all the Dirty Franks and Skyline! I do really like this signing as a depth/teach the youngins how to play like pricks in front of the net

I wonder if they’ll go for Okposo as well
It’s official.

I like this. Was hoping we’d go for him over Kessel. Dude rocks in front of the net
oh no, less room for Montreal’s salary dumps
NJ guy like Johnny
