It seems impossible to read any thread right now without Jake Virtanen being mentioned (usually negatively) - whether about a roster player, prospect or even the US economic system. Poor kid scored 18 goals with still limited minutes in a shortened season with great underlying numbers and comes to camp in great shape this time around and yet still gets same old BS. What is it with people and this kid? Why all the hate?

Hey RZ, hope you're well in 2021.
If you go back over our 5 decades, don't really remember a highly-touted youth coming from The Lower Rainland. That's probably a big factor.
Then Cdn rivals(WIN & TO) take highly regarded fwds afterwards.
Also factor in Jake showing flashes with The Hitmen, & the expected trolling emanating from them parts.
Finally, it was JB's(ballyhooed drafting forte) first kick at the can. So lots more trolling came from rival regions on that basis.
For so many reasons, I'd warrant Canucklehead-hearts are heavily mortgaged. Yet this is nicely eased, as so many of our other prospect-projects have jumped in value/equity.
