Virtanen will be a beast top 6 player. A guy who hits that hard that young doesn't come around every day. Whether he skates into his hits or not doesn't even matter--he will lay someone out--but it must be mentioned how fast he is. I wanted Virtanen or Ehlers in the draft. However, I felt like we got the right guy at 6 considering the guy we got at 24, and I still feel that way. Ehlers would have been nice, but we could not fit someone that size into the line up when we had Schroeder or when we first got Shinkaruk. Now, guys like Shinkaruk, McCann, and Baertschi will have a better cast around em because we've drafted guys like Virtanen. Yes, I'm disappointed in Virtanen's offensive output, but he has exhibited hockey IQ than we thought, and asserted himself with limited icetime.
