I remember people calling him a "BUST". Now people have calmed. It was my pick for the canucks so I was glad but people obviously wanted Ehlers or Nylander. People who liked Ritchie also liked Virtanen. For me, he is a top 6 player who will get 30-50 goals and 50-80 points. Benning didn't pick him just because he is a BC boy. He's speedy, physical, has a great shot and is younger than lots of players in the draft which ultimately made him the choice.
