If JVR is ready put him in. He has proven himself as a clutch playoff performer and should have fresh legs, which the way they were beaten to every loose puck, might be just the boost the Flyers need.

I meant any day. Auto correct sucks, he has been injured, that’s why he isn’t in the lineup

Seems odd that a guy that just signed a long term contract with a cap hit of almost 4.5mill cap hit can’t find a spot in the lineup.

JVR is clutch I’d take him over Rinaldo anyway. Huge upgrade.. Maybe Harry Z if JVR isn’t ready.

By just removing Rinaldo, JVR would be an upgrade.

I agree. He needs to play like his size. Hopefully he can shake off the injuries from this season, think they were in the back of his head causing him to hold back.

Id be okay with him coming in for Rinaldo. Wellwood has played pretty well and adds speed and quickness to the line. but if JVR comes back, he better to be ready to play HARD. he is a big guy who plays too soft sometimes.
