Must draft Virtanen!


1SportsLover1

Recommended Posts

I have gone back n forth between Virtanen & Nylander, but Virtanen is our guy, This kid skating and shot is just like no other I have ever seen. Hometown boy who is so young, barely eligable for the draft. He is lighting up the under -18's and you read the comment section on youtube and leaf fans exc say there is no way he gets past Vancouver. I have never seen a 17 year old that can skate and shoot like that. Very first under -18 game , 2 goals including game winner, and today a goal and would have had 2 but the second didnt count due to a penalty, but he went top shelf and just flicked it with ease. This kid has IT! We need to build our team like the sharks, they can be just as physical and yet outscore you at will. This kid is so fast n smooth , unreal shot and is so damn physical, get it done Linden and soon to be new GM. Virtanen Horvat Shinkaruk will be electrifying . 2 all world skaters and talents that put the puck in the back of the net with the best 2 way 18 year old I have ever seen and a natural born leader.

What do you guys think?

You should really take some time and read the board rules - unless you're trying to get banned.

You take yourself too seriously! People stop commenting for a reason. Pay attention.

Nothing wrong with Virtanen at all...in fact I was high on him when the Canuks looked like they would be drafting around #10. But being we're down to #6, I've dropped him in favour of Ritchie should none of the top 5 fall down. Virtanen's ability to use his linemates is a concern for me.

A lot of people seems high on Ritchie, but considering Virtanen is 8.5 month younger, is a factor to consider. If he was 1 month older, he would not be eligible for this draft.

It shows that Virtanen is ahead in his development, compared to older fellow 2014 class, specially since he's already ranked in the top 10.

We (and pro NHL scouts) can't really predict right now who between Ritchie and Virtanen will be the best player in 5 years, therefore might as well take a chance on a BC Boy.

I care. Quit polluting the boards. After a while people stop commenting on threads because there's nothing worthy left to say. Come on, be a team player and stop making redundant threads.

Chill out yall ... maybe he's that good that it deserved another thread.

That being said... Jake is that you?

Im no professional scout so I'll stay out of this. I would trade the pick since I got no faith in our scouts. Trade for Kane
