Scorevat Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 I'm so excited about this pick, he has the potential to develop into a Corey Perry kind of player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoneypuckOverlord Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 (edited) Awesome pick. Well done Benning. Offensive winger, who can score goals, hits skates like the wind, and have one heck of a shot. So we drafted a hard hitting fast skating scoring winger with our 6th pick this year, that is from the lower mainland area? Win win. We got ourselves a future 30 goal scorer, Dustin Brown like. I'm so excited about this pick, he has the potential to develop into a Corey Perry kind of player. I am excited too, but I wouldn't go there. Correy Perry and Virtannen play a different Style. Perry is also an extremely effective puck possession, play making winger who can score damn goals. physic is also different too. Virtanan is hardly 6'1 just under 210 Perry is 6'3 225.

Louis Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Guess the Canucks were looking for the best-looking player available this year.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin Frk Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Amazing Pick! Cant wait to see him in a Nucks Uni Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derp... Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 If he gets 100 points in the W next year, we will be happy. Really sucks we don't get to see him play until October though. Makes it seem like we didn't even pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coconuts Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 I'm excited about this pick, I wasn't particularly sure who I wanted, but I'm not complaining. Here's to hoping he does well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Marchand Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Someone suggested Virtanen has no skill. Not sure how you score 45 goals as a 17 year old with "no skill". Whatever concerns Virtanen has, skill isn't one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Down by the River Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 All-star power forward. TSN had him ranked 6th. Don't you think it was just some conspiracy to convince the Canucks to select a bad pick? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Go Faulk Yourself Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Absolutely not who I wanted us to pick.. HOWEVER, he's our prospect now so I'm going to root for the guy and hope he reached his ceiling or even betters that. Also looks like I need to change my signature now, haha. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Magician Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 I think Virtanen was a terrible pick given that he's out for 6 months which will hinder his development. You don't pick someone at #6 under that circumstance, along with the fact that he was given a 3/5 IQ (aka he's dumb). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derp... Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Also still 17 people so, give him some time to grow up a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darkstar Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 The Canucks are notoriously well-known for screwing up on their draft picks. Just another one to add to the collection. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
