cuporbust Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 thought u guys might enjoy this. Virt seems like he's going to be a big piece of our leadership core , and hopefully Subban as well.

WonderTwinPowers Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Haha that's a different perspective, the young guys seem tight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BanTSN Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Subban for forward! Subban for forward! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feeny Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Haha love these guys. JV will be a big part of our future and Subbs' compete level is paramount. Just waiting to see what # Virt wears with the big club, so i can get his jersey... with Stanton on his way out, I guess 18 is made available again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fanuck Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Would like to see some of the kids mic'd during the prospects tourney. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckylager Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 I find it interesting that they mic'd Subban. Trade bait? Why? Because he's too small to play D in the west. Move him to forward they say, because a killer slap shot from the point is a forwards play? Sure, he can skate like the wind, but I don't see him being of any use in the D zone, especially in the west.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine if it was against top NHL players. I agree with u Hard to make a judgement though. I really hope he turns into a good player for us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No reason to give up on him yet. Speed is becoming more of a factor than size in today's nhl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odd. Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 I'm very impressed with Jake Virtanen in that Virtanen/Subban mic'd up vid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRAZY_4_NAZZY Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Wasn't Jake Virtanen voted top 10 most agitating guys in the WHL last season? I can't remember but I remember reading that somewhere. I can see why though...glad to have him on our side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as he is pair with a bigger defensive dman like tryamkin or pedan he will be fine. Look at vatanen and russell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintPatrick33 Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Subby needs to get stronger down low, Benning has acknowledged that aspect, so we probably wont see him in the bigs for a couple of years yet. Hopefully Jake makes the team, seems like a good kid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see why though...glad to have him on our side When I saw him standing on the bench for the 3 on 3 tournament, he seemed like a bit of a pretty boy, and after when I got a pic with him, he had a huge cheesy grin on his face... I could see why he would be in the top 10 list, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nooks Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 As long as he is pair with a bigger defensive dman like tryamkin or pedan he will be fine. Look at vatanen and russell And McDonagh....5'11 and top 10 in the league Edit: Nvm appears hes 6'0 or 6'1 now since his St Paul Days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
messier's_elbow Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Virtanen seems like a good team guy. Subban competes hard I like him even though he's a smurf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckylager Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 1 he's not done growing 2 our d prospect pool is thin as is. Give him time. No reason to give up on him yet. Speed is becoming more of a factor than size in today's nhl.He's not going to grow any taller, but will definitely get bigger. I agree, our D pool is pretty shallow and I haven't given up on him, I just find it odd they'd choose him for mic'd up over McCaan for example. As long as he is pair with a bigger defensive dman like tryamkin or pedan he will be fine. Look at vatanen and russellPotentially, sure. That would be great. Kris Russell dudeOK. Russell is also small, but he's not great. Don't get me wrong, I'd be stoked if Subban turned out to be a great player for us, and I want him to be. There's just this little nagging thought that keeps saying - " he's being showcased for a trade to get us a player further along in his development "..

manroth19 Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Give the kid a chance to grow some more meat on his bones. Both his brothers grew taller at hus age and no way more him to forward....we could use an offensive dynamo on the back end Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goblix Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Apparently the Subans are fitness freaks... he can be small, a good small d-man can make up for size in balance, positional play, speed and great stick work. Plus if he can be an offensive beast you can also forgive a few defensive short comings... not a lot but some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
