James Van Riemsdyk Traded!

James Van Riemsdyk has been traded to the Toronto Maple Leafs for Luke Schenn, a good young defensemen. My reaction to this trade is this: WHAT is Philadelphia THINKING!? They had with them the second overall pick of the 07 draft, drafted right behind Patrick Kane, and they trade him for Luke Schenn. Sure, he's an excellent young defenseman, but certainly Toronto got the better of this deal. Van Riemsdyk has scored at least 10 goals in each of his first 3 years in the NHL, and his best year saw him score 21 goals. Van Riemsdyk has Stanley Cup Finals experience as well as other playoff experience, so he can play under pressure. He is an excellent young player and one that will really help the Leafs get off the ground next season.
