milk and honey Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 hey guys just had an idea Virtanen + 4th for Sissons or Sutter+Virtanen for Sissons+3rd They get younger and a pick or a replacement for 3C and a forward for cheap with middle potential We get a little more playoff experience. Sissons can play RW and is better suited to a 3rd line role then Virtanen. Sissons is a local boy and is still fairly cheap. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adarsh Sant Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 Colton Sissons signed a really odd contract this summer. 7 years at 2.86 million AAV. Not a very high cap hit but 7 years at that price doesn't make much sense. Especially for a 30 point guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, I don't know the guy enough me better checker, better defensively, more physical, hits, plays on the pk, solid faceoff %, Jake is a better scorer, faster, and can play top6minutes.

Sissons can play RW and is better suited to a 3rd line role then Virtanen. Sissons is a local boy and is still fairly cheap. Nashville just signed him to a 7 year deal. Friedman in his 31 thoughts of a few months ago writes that Nashville absolutely adores Sissons. Nashville's window is wide open - Virtanen has yet to establish himself while Sissons is a great shutdown player and brings so much versatility. They moved Fiala (same draft as Virtanen) because he has yet to find consistency and they didn't want to wait. Moving Sissons for Virtanen is a step back and doesn't help their window. Sutter is redundant as they already have Bonino. Sissons and Jarnkrok can also play shutdown C. Also Nashville defends by pushing for offence. They want to maintain possession in the o-zone - that's not really Sutter's game. Edited October 2, 2019 by mll 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCNeil Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 He is kind of a weird player to have a 7 year deal. I imagine they did so for a reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Re-signing Sissons was one of Poile's top priority of the off-season. Poile just gave an interview talking about the importance of two-way players. Sissons can impact the game at both ends of the ice - very strong defensively and can score. He notably had a hattrick in the playoffs filling in for injured Johansen at C1. He is on their 4th line with Bonino-Watson. He's mostly used in a defensive role but he can move to a scoring line. Plays the PK but can also play the PP if needed. Very versatile player. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IBatch Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 Yes I’d do this deal for sure. NSH wouldn’t though. Seriously anyone who knows this players would says no thanks for Sutter and JV or just JV and a pick. He’s the new Silverberg - a valuable utility guy that can help any team. At this point I really don’t think JV would get us much in a trade .... he’s got to do better or he’s going to end up with no takers his next contract.

Scissors is a young, hard working, and effective 3rd line Center that is signed at an excellent long term cap hit. Nashville won’t be giving him up so easily.......especially for that package.

Canucklehead73 Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 For all his bad press and apparent inconsistency virtanen still makes things happen on the ice with his speed, grit and shot... virtanen can generate turnovers in the offensive end and that is a tough task for most players. in my opinion we would be foolish to give up on his development.
