Flyers Trade Candidate: James van Riemsdyk

The Flyers have a complicated history with James van Riemsdyk. The Monmouth County native was drafted in 2007 as the second overall pick. His first two years saw him become part of a young corps of Flyers who could skate and score. This included Mike Richards, Jeff Carter, and Claude Giroux. It looked as if this young core would stay around for a while as Richards, Carter, and JVR were all signed to $100 million contracts.

Flyers' James van Riemsdyk: Two goals not enough

Van Riemsdyk delivered both of the goals for the Flyers in their 3-2 overtime loss to the Sharks on Saturday. His second tally took place on the man advantage. This was an interesting game since JVR and San Jose's Tomas Hertl accounted for all of the goals in the OT thriller. Van Riemsdyk tends to score in bunches, as he has accumulated nine goals on the season, with two-thirds of that total spread out over three games.

As schedule eases, Flyers regroup and hope Carter Hart and James van Riemsdyk have started to surge

The headline from the weekend was that the Philadelphia Flyers didn’t set a dubious club record for consecutive losses and instead started to show glimpses of life. They ended a 10-game losing streak — equaling the fourth-longest in franchise history and two shy of tying the record — and won two straight for the first time since Oct. 27-28. They also slowed a social-media movement that encouraged fans to wear bags over their heads at home games.

Flyers' James van Riemsdyk: Two-goal outburst

Van Riemsdyk scored twice in a 5-3 win over the Coyotes on Saturday. He stole the puck from a Coyotes defender in the neutral zone and scored unassisted to put the Flyers up 1-0 at 1:14 of the first. Van Riemsdyk redirected a Travis Konecny shot on the power play in the second period to make the score 4-2. It stood as the winner. He has three goals in his last two games after going 11 without a sniff. Yes, the talent is there, but Van Riemsdyk is on the third line of a bad team. We may change our tune if he scores next game, though -- a sniper awakened is valuable, regardless of line assignment.

Flyers' James van Riemsdyk: Nets power-play goal Friday

Van Riemsdyk scored a power-play goal on three shots and added four PIM in Friday's 4-3 win over the Golden Knights. Van Riemsdyk's third-period marker ultimately stood as the game-winning goal. The 32-year-old winger has had some trouble scoring this season. He's at three goals, four assists, 51 shots on net and a minus-8 rating through 25 contests. He'll likely fly below the fantasy radar while he's stuck in a third-line role for a team that has struggled to generate offense since the first week of the season.

Flyers' James van Riemsdyk: Deposits second goal

Van Riemsdyk scored a goal on three shots in Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Stars. Vam Riemsdyk got the Flyers on the board at 16:36 of the second period, but Tyler Seguin responded just 26 seconds later to restore the hosts' two-goal lead. The 32-year-old van Riemsdyk is up to two goals, four assists, 35 shots on net and a plus-2 rating through 13 contests. With only modest offense in a middle-six role, he's probably a little under the necessary level to roster in standard fantasy formats.
