I would be surprised if he doesn't see at least some time centering the third line, whether due to injuries, penalties, line matching or whatever. A significant portion of his value is in his versatility. That was what I was kinda' trying to say. Thanks for explaining me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Vintage Canuck- Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 Jake Virtanen on Sportsnet 650: "If I stick to my game I should be fine. If someone wants to take my spot it's going to be hard for them to do that." "We want Boeser here as soon as possible. If he misses camp it'll be tough. Camp really helps us get ready for the season, especially with all the new guys. Everyone wants to see him come as soon as possible. He wants to do his thing and it is what it is." 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is a legit 1st line player. He will play with either Petey or Bo. JB didn't just go and trade a 1st round pick for a player they think will play on the 3rd line. That is just silly. I agree, although I see Ferland with Petey and Boes, as long as he gels with them, where I see no problems. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake is a team guy. He hasn't been handed anything since his rookie year and he is a legit pro player. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pettersson Horvat Boeser Baertschi Miller Ferland Virtanen Sutter Pearson Motte Beagle Revolving door I honestly think at some point something like that should happen. That 1st line would be lethal... But of course we will see all sorts combinations. We will see Baertschi bounce around the top 3 lines, hopefully the top 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then you play both virtanen and pearson on their wrong wings. Haha...no thanks. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pearsons pushed that way due to depth and its common knowledge that Virtanens had success on his off wing. And if you dont think moving Pettersson to the wing wouldn't improve his offense you don't know how to play hockey. Go troll someone else. Edit: Pearson and Virtanen could switch either way if it didn't work out. You add nothing to the conversation Edit edit. Ferland scores a majority of his goals in front of the net. He's a garbage collecter, a new age Burrows. Which isn't a bad thing, it doesn't matter what wing hes on.

Troll You really think a coach is going to move an up and coming top line centre rookie in Pettersson to the wing after he wins the calder in his first season at centre and kicked ass doing it playing the most important position on a team? And you tell me to learn hockey? Yeah...ok pal. Edit: your suggested line up is a joke. No offense.

Did Jake come in to camp a few years ago with extra weight? Yes. Was he fat then? No. So what are these existing dots you refer to? Seriously, because I am interested in knowing.

The list goes on and if Jake is back on the third line he will probably be playing with acouple of these players..... so why not see who jake works with..... also if praticing with Utica guys means the battle level will be higher, which is a good thing for Jake isn't ?
