I think it was Craig Button that had him way lower in the draft due to his low hockey IQ, maybe Button was right about that. Kind of sad if he doesn't know where he needs to be after being around the club for a few years now. I want him to succeed but his chances are running out with the Canucks, 1 maybe 2 more years before we might see him moved if he can't improve His ceiling may be low... but there's way to overcome the "low IQ".... it's call giving a damn and listening to the coaches. Raffi Torres should be a model to what JV should be. Whatever Torres' reputation became, he was a very physical and strong player.... just his style of play isn't appropriate in the NHL anymore. Torres' game was relatively simple.... skate hard, aggressive fore check, crash/bang around the net. He was usually noticeable. JV just needs to do the same. He will never be good enough to be an elite player in the NHL, so either he will need to play with the tools he has, or he'll just be a less aggressive version of Zack Kassian.... teams always taking a chance in "unlocking him" due to his size and skill.... or playing in other leagues. Sometimes I wish that Bieksa was still around (or some veteran/leader) on the team will just totally smack him around for him to get with the program. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Roberts Posted September 16, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted September 16, 2019 (edited) Here are my photographs from Day 3 of training camp. A fair amount of photographs to post, so I will put most of them in a spoiler to not flood the page. (Again taken with a cellphone) Spoiler Scrimmage. Spoiler Practice. Spoiler After practice. (it gets pretty crazy.) End result. I got 9 autographs on my new heritage jersey from Horvat, Pettersson, Stecher, Goldobin, DiPietro, Benn, Gadjovich, Ferland, and Markstrom. I especially like this because they are signatures on a 50th anniversary jersey from the players of the 50th anniversary team. I also ended up getting two other autographs from former players on my ticket (no photo, but signatures from Manny Malhotra & Kirk Mclean.)

mll Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 2 hours ago, Canuckster86 said: I agree he was drafted as a LW in junior. He is built like Ovie, who also plays the off wing. Would love to see him get a long look on the LW, but we are quite deep on the right side... The Hitmen post their opening lineup with positions - they had Virtanen playing RW as the season went along. In his draft+1 he started at RW all games save 1 - there was a blog that tracked all opening lineups and someone posted all the opening lines on HF - it's probably still up there. His main opposite wingers were Rankin and Helgesen who are both LWs. Benning talked of how Kassian was a RW and trading for Prust a LW would open up a spot for Virtanen as he is a RW like Kassian. Green calls him a natural RW. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh man if JV can be anything like Raffi Torres when he was here that would be awesome. Torres was a bit inconsistent in terms of goal production, but physicality, that was consistent. Every game you can count on a big hit or a pissed off defenceman taking a penalty. Ive said this many times, Torres contribution to the Canucks making it to the finals is very very understated 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

filthycanuck Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 5 hours ago, TU90 said: Had a lot of fun there today - went by myself (no kids) so I could take it all in. Miller really impressed me all camp - great pickup. Petey is a man among boys. Just unbelievable. Stayed again after for so long to sign something for everyone - no one else out there with him. Bo looked really good in the scrimmage as well - had some really nice moves. Virtanen has no idea what he's doing out there. Bumps into people on the boards sometimes and skates to the bench. Gaudette looks much improved which is great to see. Just need to get Sutter out of here so he can take his place in the lineup. As I was leaving (stuck around for the start of Group C), I ran into Baer, Gaudette and Schaller walking down the street. Didn't say anything though.. should have. With or without Sutter, our boy Gaudz gets double digit goals this year. Bank on it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This could be quite a year...there are as many as 8-9 possible 20 goal scorers as well as 3 locks to hit 30 if healthy...given that BB is here from day 1... EP, BB, BH, Ferland, Miller, Baer, Sutter, Virtanen, Pearson and even Goldy or Gaudette if he got the season in... That's 11 guys without mentioning Eriksson....! Gaudette, or Miller picking up pivot shifts? We need a 3rd C driving offense. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
86Viking Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 Quinn Hughes with a legible autograph....good on ya kid! Nice being able to read the autograph rather than a couple lines and a number sometimes to go along with it. I get they sign a lot of things over their career, so I hope Quinn keeps his the same way.
