I suppose you're also saving the 2.55 of Jake, but if we want to throw that away we can just put him on waivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he’s only known for throwing fists we don’t need him. We need a bottom 6 who can play a 200ft game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deslaurier would add a much needed toughness and grit element to this team and he can play as well. He currently has 3G 2A in 19 games while also being able to take on the Reaves, Wilsons etc. Would be an interesting trade though as Vancouver is going to rely on the fact that Jake scored 18 last year even though he has 1 this year. Anaheim would try to say that ND is outscoring Jake this year so why would they add a 3rd plus take on Jake's extra salary. I haven't posted in months but this proposal got the juices flowing lol. I wonder who Anaheim would be thinking of sending our way??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could use Manson as the Dman to be left unprotected in the ED and then partner him with Hughes next year. We can re-evaluate in the summer of 2022 when Manson is a UFA to see if there is a better fit out there but could be a decent temporary solution for next year. At least we get something of value for Virtanen. At this point not sure we could even get a 3rd round pick for him. need to clear more cap if you want to bring Manson in...and then he takes up 4 million of your cap next season....perhaps if there are secondary pieces equalizing the cap ie Roussel for Grant - but not much point until Manson is healthy.

If you mean that his numbers are deflated by virtue of playing primarily on shutdown lines with low ozone starts - then yeah, that's the opposite of the pump and dump strategy Gillis used to maximize Hodgson's trade value. I'm not sure that would fool anyone in the present day, though. I'm fine with continuing to utilize Virtanen like that - I don't really see any loss in continuing to develop his game without the puck - or putting him in circumstances where he's playing with guys with work ethics like Beagle, or Motte, etc. I wouldn't be dumping him for any longshot pick either - if there is cap to be dumped, they have veteran wingers and depth D that I'd move before Virtanen.

You throw him to another team as fast as you can, like he is on fire... let them get burned when he reverts back to being what he has been the bulk of his career. Go look at his production in the last calendar year.. it has been abysmal and it isn't just a slow start to this season. He has been bad for a long time, and if you take out that short stretch in the middle of last season where he was on fire at almost a PPG... he hasn't shown any sort of material improvement in his career. He is 9 points in his last 52 games (or a 14 point pace for a 82 game season). That isn't just an anomaly, especially since that is pretty much his level his entire career. (13-25 points a season aside from his offensive outburst in Dec/January last year) His stretch of current bad play is 3 times as long as the short heater he went on last season... Somehow people think of that tiny few week sample size as the true indicator of him as a player, and not the much several years long one we have before and since those weeks? We should really have seen enough to know what he is by now... some magic transformation keeps getting even more and more remote, and if it doesn happen, it really doesn't seem like that would be on this team.

Well, the folks here who don't like Green will say, "Fire Green, this is evidence that he doesn't know how to use the talent on this team!" The folks who like Green will say, "See, Green knows how to develop, motivate and get the best from his talent!" The people who don't like Virtanen will claim, "Meh, it's just another streak. Virtanen is inconsistent and should be traded." The people who like Virtanen will say, "See, this is the talent that is finally starting to shine through! Don't trade him." Most everybody else will be somewhere in between. regards, G. 1 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could play him on PP1 and it still wouldn't amount to much, and I really like Jake's assets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
