Maniwaki Canuck Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 Virtanen is close to negative value with the season he's having and what he's owed next year. If we can flip him for a D to expose in the entry draft, that's almost a win at this stage. Otherwise, he's a prime buyout candidate. Probably some team would give him a second chance as a free agent at around 1 mil. but that's the best case scenario. We just can't afford to keep him at the cost of losing players who actually contribute. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
combover Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 I really hope owners don’t allow Jb to trade JV. thus season a wash trading JV would just be stupid at this point. Sutter Pearson beagle Ar Benn Myers hamonic are the guys that he should be trying to get rid of. Especially if the return is the one that’s being reported in Florida. A desperate Jb is an even stupider Jb 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A desperate Jb is an even stupider Jb My question for you would be, how many more seasons would you want to see Jake here? Guess you see this season as an anomaly for him vs. last season when he broke out offensively. Thing is, although he trended positively since his 2nd year in the league, he's now regressed to a rate of scoring that's even below his rookie season and close to his sophomore season. Even if he doesn't get traded, would you also wish to protect him during the ED ahead of either Gaudette/ MacEwen or Lind/ Gadjovich (both of whom are AHL prospects who are breaking out)? I find that he's maddeningly inconsistent (lazy during last year's play-in and taking dumb penalties this season), and we wouldn't know any better whether a new coach (if there is one) would bring out the best in him or if he'll remain all promise and no fruition on his power forward potential.

I believe there's a good chance jv would thrive under the right coach/system. I dont think he's as lazy/inconsistent as people say. Seems to me he cannot adjust to the way he's being asked to play. That said, you don't get rid of a coach for the sake of one player. I wonder what Travis greens lifespan is in Vancouver? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder what Travis greens lifespan is in Vancouver? I think so too, if we stuck him on LW in an offensive role I feel like he could be that force barreling down the wing which would be tough to stop, but when your center is Brandon Sutter... don't expect many quality passes to catch you mid-stride while you're streaking toward the net. However, firing management is of course a common remedial course of action after or even during a disappointing season, so wouldn't be surprised if Coach Green gets sacked.

HUGHES - KARLSSON EDLER - SCHMIDT JUOLEVI - MYERS No thank you I didn't think it was a good idea to be after him as a UFA (Glad we never got him) We don't need to be saddled with another overpaid, under performing multi millionaire Let Sharks pay and suffer for signing him, and let Karlsson pout ( so annoying to see these guys like him take such a big part of the cap, then complain of the team) He showed to me that he is not a team player with that attitude Have you forgotten how well the 6 yr $6 million contracts of Lucic, Louie and Neal etc worked out when they peaked and were never worthy of their contracts afterwards?

Plum Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 There's hardly any news, only journalists taking turns spreading rumours. Media picks Virtanen as the trade chip because fans are attached to the hometown kid. He is most definitely not the worst forward we have out there, there's plenty of worse cap dumps people can complain about. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be pleased for him to move on for his own sake and for a little peace and quiet...sick of hearing about it! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He seems like a a lot of players under green no defined role. Maybe he’s not going to be a point producer but give him a defined role use his speed and size maybe his career is third line checker. really what can we expect back a similar player or or worse unless we add throw/away more draft picks. A new GM and coaching group next season might get through to him if not then move him but trading him now is pointless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake has been given multiple roles, though, and hasn't taken advantage of any opportunity. At this stage, the only chance he has of it "getting through to him" is if he gets sent to another team. He isn't going to do it here with us. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except they aren’t kids anymore. we aren’t getting into the playoffs and the vets didn’t help did they. Also these veterans aren’t helping the kids that can’t get into the line up. How can the likes of oj chatfield Rafferty develop or take the next step when we fill the roster m. we will be in same position next season a bunch of 23- 26 year old rookies dmen because management and coaching is to short sighted.

Flip it around, would he be a guy we'd be targeting, or would we be saying nah, lets see if we can get a covid bargain instead? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
