  1. This team needs top 5 picks. Not 30something year old free agents. Erikson is a great player that makes us better in the short term, but he only takes us further from winning the cup by costing us good draft position.
  2. You know the "Detroit model" was drafting the best defenseman of all time and ride him till he retires right.
  3. You need passing/vision/hockeyIQ skillllls to be able to pass. It's easy to say dish the puck. He did dish the puck today, just it was almost always to the wrong spot. Virtanen was drafted high because of his athletic abilities and hard shot. Not passing skills. At the draft scouts talked about Virtanen being a power player with "a lack of creativity." On a side note. To the people opposed to tanking. Look at the draft when we took Virtanen. 1. Aaron Ekblad 2. Sam Reinhart 3. Leon Draisaitl 4. Sam Bennett 5. Michael Dal Colle 6. Jake Virtanen
  4. Can't trash Virtanen's game today too much, not very many Canadians stood out for their good play. In general though his hockey IQ seems pretty awful from what I've seen him play. I was hoping he'd do well going against guys his own age. I can see him developing into a good physical player but pretty disappointing considering his draft position.
  5. I think he's been ok. He's no Salo, but he's ok.
