Not at all. Certainly Virtanen has underwhelmed the preseason, but he's still an NHL player who shows up to camp, not making demands for his playing time.
This idea of taking on a spoiled primadonna in Puljujarvi is a horrible one that could blow up in Vancouver's face. Jake is a good player who is seemingly dedicated to the Canucks. Did he show up to camp in less than stellar shape? It sounds like it. However he showed up, and has played.
The sane move is to keep the player interested in playing for the team versus coddling an overblown prospect who's proven very little in the NHL, but thinks he should be given it all on a silver platter.
