Nucker 67 Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Interesting, I like it for VAN and I think CAR would consider it. Aho and Virtanen would be a nice 1-2 punch on the right side for their future. Do they have Williams and Stempniak? Those guys are headed for the pasture.

canuckmen84 Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 I wouldn't mind Fleury but there's No way I trade Virtanen at this point, we need this kids physical abilitys in our line up for the future, we don't have many power forward type players in the system. It is intresting when you compare the two, Fleury has been developing slower just like Virtanen and they are drafted in the same year one after the other but who will turn out better in their respected positions and rolls??? My money is on Jake ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My money is on Jake ! Fair enough. I love Fleury's game and I think Virtanen is flirting awfully close to being a bust. Who knows, maybe next season he knocks it out of the park. At least that's what I'm hoping for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skolozsy2 Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 I don't think that Carolina would be interested in moving Fluery. The only reason he played in the AHL last year was lack of roster space, and the Hurricanes were extremely happy with his progress. He finished the last 31 games with 16 points and a +16, and became one of the Checkers top defenseman. 6'3 221lbs, and only turned 21 last month. I just can't see Carolina moving him unless it was too good of an offer to pass up....and Virtanen has way more value to the Canucks than he does to the Hurricanes.

I think the Hurricanes could use some help up front but with the way Fleury finished the year, you are right. No way they entertain this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adarsh Sant Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 Wow. A proposal from @morrissex95 that is actually good. If (and this is a big "if") Carolina is up for this trade, then I don't see why not. Virtanen hasn't been great, but CAR already has a nice D core. They could use a player of Virtanen's style. He is a huge risk though. It could work out well for both teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammertime Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 I'd prefer to stay the course with Virtanen. Maybe that is because I am more familiar with him and I think he has a lot more to give than he has shown. Though I'm sure many would say the same of Fleury. I would say our need for a speedy middle 6 pf who hits and either scores or defends well out weighs our need for an all round 4/6D so I stick with Biff Tannen. FWIW.
