JVR couldn't sign with the Flyers right away on Sunday due to a very relatable problem

On Sunday, the Leafs lost three key players to other teams as James van Riemsdyk, Tyler Bozak and Leo Komarov departed in free agency.

JVR is probably the biggest name of the three and he signed in a familiar destination, Philadelphia. The former Leaf was drafted by the Flyers in 2007 and now he's back in the "City of Brotherly Love," but it took him a bit longer to make his return official due to a printer problem.

For real. As per NHL.com, a broken printer kept JVR from signing his contract on Sunday right away:

"It's not official," Flyers general manager Ron Hextall said. "We announced that we'd agreed. [Van Riemsdyk has] got some printer problem."

Van Riemsdyk said the printer in his condo wasn't working and there was an issue with one downstairs in his building. He was able to sign the contract later Sunday.

"Took a little bit of time," van Riemsdyk said. "But [I] finally have it done, which is nice."

What's crazy is JVR isn't the only player who had printer troubles while attempting to sign his contract.

Joe Thornton didn’t sign this contract on a lawn mower like last year, but he said he had trouble figuring out how to print it at home with his wife already in Switzerland

In the end, both players managed to work through the printer problems and sign their deals, but it's fun to know players go through the same issues as us sometimes.
