Thanks for the input! Interesting, so he's a project. Those seem like coachable items. But I get the concerns. High risk, high reward I guess.

I haven't seen Virtanen live, just hilites, and kid looks absolutely amazing. What's the knock on him? not a team player? I just honestly want to know, because he looks like a stud. Amazing shot, amazing speed, strong. Seems to have the full package.

People need to understand...tanking starts with management. Players and coaches will never tank. It just doesn't go down. How would you like it if someone walked up to you and said you have to lose every game? If you say you'd be cool with that, you've either never played competitive sports or have 0 sense of pride. And as a fan, I feel obliged to cheer for them to win. I simply can't have it any other way. To people calling me and other fans cheering delusional, you're delusional to think we can tank for enough for a top 5 pick, and picking outside the top 6 to about 13 isn't a big enough difference to give a sh!t. Get it through your thick skulls.

People act like this team is so far off...you guys are crazy.. Remember our December? How sweet life was. Injuries derailed us, and we had a cold streak. Oh well Luongo wanted out of Vancouver one way or another, lets get that straight. And NO team wanted to pay much for him. Getting a future number one and Matthias who has looked great is as good as a deal is gonna get. We got rid of the contract. Be happy. Luongo is only going to be effective for 2 more years. Lack/Markstrom will be for 10+ each. Jensen looks great, so that looks like a dope pick. Henrik is back to being Henrik if you guys haven't noticed. Watch some damn games instead of giving up. Burrows-Henrik-Jensen That line should be a sure fire lock. It seems they have some great chemistry right now. Hopefully it isn't just new linemate luck. Daniel-Kesler-Kassian Kesler wanted a winger? Here, take our best one, and one who deserves a top 6 role. This line would be great because they all have skill and size. Matthias-Horvat-Higgins Matthias isn't exactly great in the circle, and we gotta start getting Horvat some games. Staying in the juniors won't do him any good. He is a stud, this line would be sound defensively and score. The reason we made it to the finals was because we could roll out 3 lines. This gives us a great 3rd line. Sestito-Richardson-Archibald Let's bruise some teams. Richardson is good in the dot so if we're stuck on an icing, it isn't too big of a deal. Get rid of Hansen. Frustrating to watch. Love his speed and hustle but he lacks any form of skill. All this team is missing is a puck moving D-Man and maybe another borderline top 6 guy incase Horvat doesn't pan out. Get a puck moving D-Man, put the Sedins together on a powerplay with Kesler, then let the 2nd unit contain Jensen, Horvat and Kassian. You could use Burrows also. This team is fine, relax everyone, we'll be back to contending for the cup. If not next year, then the year after. Gillis hasn't done his job half bad. Everyone is overreacting, which is typical of Canucks fans.

So uh...clutch..hows that -248 feeling?
