nomairbasar Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 OK, so I've been wondering if it would benefit the Canucks if they brought up Jake Virtanen just in time for this playoff push the Canucks are TRYING to do. Would it help the Canucks if Jake were here?? I notice a lack of physicality in our game while I watch and I wonder if Jake could bring us the much needed speed and physicality we lack. Plus, I am a beliver he would maybe even be able to pot in between 5-10 goals in the next 30ish games. He's bound to have gained some scoring touch while down in Utica so why not send down megna or someone else and give Jake a second chamce?? Thoughts??

That's pretty much all the reason there is. Let the guy be for the rest of the season. He needs to mature away from the spotlight for a while. Far away.

J-23 Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 As much as I love Virtanen's physical games, I'm going to have to say no. Let him develop in Utica. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xereau Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 He has been playing like he did here. Floaty. Soft. No hands. Big nope, and don't be surprised if it doesn't happen next year either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bur14Kes17 Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 Watch Willie get fired after we lose every game this road trip and then Claude Julian gets hired, Canucks call up Virtanen, and Julien turns him in pot Lucic 2.0 hahah k I'm kidding but seriously...

If only there was someway to find out how he is doing in Utica? He might be the leading scorer in the AHL, just no way to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quantum Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 Hahaha No. Just... No. Not yet. Let's let him play in Utica. See you in October, JV. /thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beni Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 Could be another season or two. Needs to develop consistency. Has had a couple decent games as of late but is likely still far away from being really effective. Stop by the JV prospects thread.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaBamba Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 We drafted JV to be a top 6 forward. We need to start handling him accordingly. If he gets called up, thrown on the 4th line to play 6mins a game don't even bother giving him a stick. At least this way it will keep him out of the box. The kid was unbelievable in his draft year. You're not going to see that dynamic player emerge in a handful of 30sec shifts with Neanderthal line mates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
