Ilya Mikheyev Posted September 15, 2020 Author Share Posted September 15, 2020 I like JA as much as the next poster but honestly if the Lotto Line is gonna stick together, I think Pearson & Horvat need a player with some creative, offensive generation on the right-side (broken record here, but like Mikael Granlund...). But if Virt is moved I could see him sliding into the 3rd line RW position and moving up if he can bounce back. Very tough to imagine the asking price in this COVID off-season tbh, esp. coming off a 1 goal season.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timberz21 Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 2 hours ago, VancouverHabitant said: Wow, let's pump the brakes a bit here Josh Anderson is only 26 and only made 1.8 million. You guys are talking like he's in his 30s and about to cash in on a 5 million/year deal. According to TSN, he's #3 on their trade bait list, above Laine. Listening to MTL's commentators, they want him on their first line to play with Suzuki. So he's a pretty high profile player...high profile means $$$ and/or quality assets. That why I say he's too expansive. I just compared him to JT Miller, not saying he's in his 30s. As for the Lucic comparison, who is 32, his decline started when he was in his late 20s, so not sure why you think i'm comparing him to a 30 year old. Also, he's arbitration eligible...so he might not get that huge deal right now if he signs a bridge deal, but if he does, he'll be 1 or 2 years away from full UFA. If the team that sign him want to buy a few years of his UFA status, they need to pay him for that. So that contract won't be cheap, believe me.

Canuck Surfer Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 Lets just wait till his UFA status arrives next summer. With Pearson, Sutter, Edler Baertschi expiring. We will have to re-up Petey.... But all it would take would be Hughes doing a 2 year ($6 mil) bridge. Which would be smart on his part. Luongo would be off the books. The cap could finally be back on the rise. He could then sign a long term deal at age 24 in a good situation. And we could pay Anderson more than Pearson next summer.

Canucklehead73 Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 Interesting but a lot of red flags... Risky to mover Virtanen who has improved every year and might be due for a break out after a taste of the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Heffy Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 Virtanen seems like a price that could work for all parties. Both players could use a fresh start and Jake probably would benefit from a coach like Torts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldnews Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 Columbus is pretty flush with RW. Atkinson, Nyqvist, Bjorkstrand. What they need - is a 20 g scoring LW. Enter Tanner Pearson! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake will do good via trade or if the Canucks had a different head coach that would give Jake a fresh slate and potential proper chance at playing in a top 6 role.

I don't mind the way Green utilizes Virtanen - at all. I like that he moves him up and down the lineup - gives him some carrots in the top 6, puts him on the wing with Sutter in harder minutes, and some 2nd pp unit time. I'm not concerned about getting him fixed in the top 6 - I think he can be just as valuable in a dual role, particularly if he gets better at both ends of the ice. I don't see it as Green holding him back - I see it as a slow forge - and I also consider Virtanen to be young-minded - so I think there is sense in not moving him up the lineup too consistently, too early. I think Virtanen needs to be kept appraised of the need to work consistently. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iinatcc Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 Wasn't he the player the CBJ gave a 1st and 2nd round pick to Vegas so they would pick Karlsson instead of him? If so ouch and quite a fail on the part of the Blue Jackets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
