JvR had his coming out party this past post season when he notched 7 goals in 11 games and led the Flyers through the first round. The NJ native projects as a top line winger who can both beat goalies from far out with his shot or in front of the crease with his strength.

This kid is a stud. He will have a chance to prove himself worthy of top line recognition in his contract year. With a huge year JvR could move up in the tax bracket and become a legitimate force for this Flyers team.
