DownUndaCanuck Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 Anaheim are stacked with young forwards, Heinen is one but Comtois, Milano, Lunderstrom and Zegras all have some star quality. Lunderstrom might be an interesting player, 5 goals in only a few games, 21 years old and can play center... I think Virtanen barely gets us Heinen though but would be nice if we did something like: Virtanen + Gaudette + Chatfield + 2nd for Heinen and Comtois Comtois onto our 2nd line, Heinen onto our 3rd line, instant boost of offence. The Ducks play a pretty boring brand of hockey too so they might really rack up some offence under Green's riskier style of play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently the deal fell through because of quarantine requirements. Maybe revisited in the offseason? Probably more to the story or deal, but it was a short convo.

Battlemonger Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 Anybody else notice that Virtanen always hit people like a train until early in his career with the canucks? I remember Virtanen completely running over McDavid a few years ago when they were both early in their respective NHL careers and then the very next game he was very timid and seemed to have lost his way. And he has been that way ever since. If he goes to a team like Boston, everyone could see a very different player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Jake had some shoulder injuries, which in turn led to him dialing back the hitting. He likely just can't do it anymore, without risking injury. Don't think that's going to change, regardless of where he plays. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we have interest in the player, that is the time to do it. We will also have a good sense of how expansion opportunities fall at that point.

I think Jake has the best value as an epxansion draft victim. I'd sooner lose Jake than a player like Motte. I could see Seattle taking Jake as a project player. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could see Seattle taking Jake as a project player. I agree that we should leave him exposed, certainly a better option than taking on a bad contract in return. A young player with only one year left might be enticing. Even with Motte and Lind protected, we still have extra expansion slots available I think.

I mean why even begin talking to a US team if quarantine was going to be a problem? Unless it was ANA suggesting the deal initially.

Seattle taking Jake is interesting.... leaves us with Holtby which is OK since Demko is starting to establish himself but he won't be getting a huge deal next year so the goalie money shouldn't be outrageous. Jake vs Myers - who do you take if you're Seattle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfgang Durst Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 multi-piece deal- sounds like interesting.... The Anaheim Ducks and Vancouver Canucks have looked at a multi-piece deal involving Danton Heinen and Jake Virtanen to try and make the money work. Could see the Ducks trying to get the Canucks to take Derek Grant‘s contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they consider him to be part of their next core. Lundestrom is a first round pick in 2018 (23 overall). Chances that Ducks trade away Comtois or Lundestrom are slim (remote).
