Being his third team in not an indictment of the player, this happens often If Heinen has a motor like Motte, then I'd take that trade in a heartbeat. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

With his size, JV should be steamrolling players. If only Motte or Hog had his body. Need to pull some freaky Friday voodoo spell or something. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

canuck73_3 17,703 Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 40 minutes ago, BPA said: Those guys are pretty consistent 40pt players. JV and Heinen are avg 30pt players. But doing poorly this year. About the same height and weight. JV is younger by a year at 24. Heinen uses his size better imo Quote Link to post Share on other sites
canuck2288 8,949 Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 I think we keep Jake at this point and see if a real coach will unlock him i just have a feeling we will regret trading him 1 1 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

kanucks25 2,089 Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 Virtanen is what he is, people really need to get over the Cam Neely trade. If he magically turns into a beast, so be it; nothing he's shown here really makes anyone believe that and his trade value will reflect that. We should have accepted the sunk cost long ago, especially this off-season where every cap dollar was more important than ever. Benning did well by cutting his losses on, for example, the Gudbranson/Pearson trade (well, after the dumb extension, anyway). Same should have been done with Virtanen a long time ago. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Doesn’t hit as much as Jake but can use his size when needed, effort never an issue in games I’ve watched. Admittedly I have seen him less as a Duck but watched him regularly in Boston stands out in a good way most nights. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Captain Canuck #12 564 Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 Heinen is Ryan Spooner 2.0 to me: a none too big, non-physical finesse player who has to be scoring and playing in a top six role to be effective. If not, he's just deadweight to the team. If that happens, the only silver lining would be that we can at least shed his contract at the end of the year without having to buy him out (ala Spooner). 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KKnight 802 Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 (edited) If we were to get Heinen, we need to beef up that third line In the offseason in the worst way. I would overpay for Lowry. We need a third line that can not only chip in offensively, but make it hard on the opposition. Edited February 28 by KKnight 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
