BanTSN Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 Virtanen looked like the best Comet on the ice tonight. However didn't score. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nuxfanabroad Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 What if JV wants to do a pro yr in Finland? If that Matthews kid can, why not Jake? Prob best if we don't rush every kid we've got. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashby17 Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 That's just a straight-shooter with NHL written all over him. ...slow golf clap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry Goose Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 ugh. Already had a major injury and surgery, and he is not even in the NHL. Only 26 assists and his numbers were inflated by a carreer year by his overage line mate. Just because he's a local kid. Stupid reason to draft him. So far this management has disappointed. So disappointed. Virtanen can. Skate and hit and shoot. All is great except he can't think the game and can't pass. 26 assists? So frustrating. Future 3rd liner Absolutely not who I wanted us to pick.. HOWEVER, he's our prospect now so I'm going to root for the guy and hope he reached his ceiling or even betters that. Also looks like I need to change my signature now, haha. I think Virtanen was a terrible pick given that he's out for 6 months which will hinder his development. You don't pick someone at #6 under that circumstance, along with the fact that he was given a 3/5 IQ (aka he's dumb). The Canucks are notoriously well-known for screwing up on their draft picks. Just another one to add to the collection. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gyllenhaal Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 The nice thing about an opinion is that it can change. I was wrong about Jake, and I'm glad he's a Canuck now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
messier's_elbow Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 Obviously we disagree, and that's ok. I follow the Jets very closely and know that they are not re-signing Frolik, in large part because of this reason particularly. Ehlers is also too good to go back and play in the QMJHL next season. The Jets have a big team and Ehlers will be well protected and given plenty of room. Anyway, glad Virtanen has been picking it up as of late. Never been a fan of his nor what appeared at the time to be Benning selecting Virtanen in large part because he's a local kid. Those were the optics of it anyway. But happy he's been playing better.

So being rated fastest skater, having the second best shot and being the most physical player in the draft didnt do it for you eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Go Faulk Yourself Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 I don't understand why you quoted me? I said even though he wasn't who I wanted us to pick, I'm supporting him as our prospect in our organization. I never once said things like "Future 3rd liner' or "Bust", or "Terrible pick". Simply not who I wanted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JiffyPB Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 Once his shot accuracy is back to normal he should be a dominating offensive force. Kinda wish the kid could stay and develop in Utica rather than go back to Calgary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugor Hill Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 Patrick Kane? I agree, that level of player is very hard to come across - for a second round pick or otherwise! Oh, wait... you were talking about Evander Kane since he's a big tough forward, but trying to discount the availability of smaller, highly skilled players by choosing some who have yet to be exceptional. That can be said for big, tough forwards as well when they haven't quite panned out to the ceiling people were expecting. Nylander and Ehlers won't be available for the same value we spent on Baertschi unless something goes sideways. Certainly no one's projecting Sam Bennett's value - at 18 or otherwise - to drop from the level it's been at since the draft and he's a smaller forward. Meanwhile CBJ is pretty happy to part with Rychel right now (they might be wishing they'd picked Theodore now) and Mantha has had a less than exciting season in Detroit's system. So it's not all roses for the big guys. We need more GM's to publicly embarrass their high end prospects!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeremyCuddles Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 We got an Ehlers/Nylander type with a second rounder. He goes by the name of Baertschi. Further along in development too. Virtanen and Baertschi will be an amazing wing combo. Horvat down the middle, GG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaxieMan98 Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Virtanen isn't very good on the left side, I don't think Cassels is close but a good summer working on his stride and adding muscle could change that. To be honest that's a really weak line-up, but that means a high pick so I'm in! I disagree. That lineup looks pretty solid. Young players have to take steps forward in their development. So guys like Sven,BO,Kass will have to produce to make the playoffs. I'm not worried,we will make the playoffs next year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
