PTO: [EDM] F Jake Virtanen signs PTO with the Oilers (released)

[ManofSteel55]

I do wonder what the Modus Operandi was to sign in yet another fishbowl market?

Why not sign with a sunbelt team?

Probably, "hey, they offered me a PTO, I had better take it".

 

[ChaoticOrange]

Kind of stunned he hung around this long, I really didn't see much there. Maybe he catches on with an AHL team or something.

He really didn’t seem like he was there to prove anything. Looked like he was at a public skate

I've seen 48 year old accountants at drop-in shinny take things more seriously than he was

Cancel culture strikes again



(sarcasm)

this but unironically

 

[PostBradMalone]

These last couple pages looking like an MTGOW rally. The creep didn’t get signed, let that be the last we hear of him.

 

[EpochLink]

Jake, there’s a spot at the Abbotsford Chevron for ya

 

[Nikolajs Sillers]

This thread can die now.

Almost thousand posts for a PTO? Must be a record.

 

[voxel]

I maybe the minority that thought he made 1-2 nice plays in the final two games after being useless in previous games. Still NOT worth signing him though with all the forwards we have.

Can this 40 page thread about some bum be locked already lol

Safe to say he is a 7th overall bust.

Accountants are hardcore ....

Surprised EDM would let him go with their lack of star-power

He didn't get cancelled, he just sucks. He got a PTO when everyone was pissed at the Oilers for doing it, and he responded by doing absolutely nothing all preseason.

Low effort, low hockey IQ NHL bust gets cut. Very little surprise here.

 

[robertmac43]

Glad this dumb experiment is coming to an end

 

[Artemi Panarin]

Let's just all agree on the fact that Jake Virtanen is a terrible hockey player and move along.

 

[crowi]

Safe to say he is a 7th overall bust.

But he is a 6th overall bust. Good ol' Benning boy.

 

[Wretched Oil]

Sad day for @Double Dion

 

[Bounces R Way]

Could see him opening up a vape shop in Van.

 

[Mido]

Worst crew ever.

 

[A1LeafNation]

Good

 

[Phil Kessels Hot Dog]

Are flames fans still outraged?

 

[cheesymc]

Montreal might be interested. He would be a great mentor for Logan Mailloux.

 

[BostonBob]

Imagine how many posts there would be if it was Toronto that gave him the PTO ?????

 

[TFHockey]

Forty pages for this guy. FML.

 

[zar]

Not surprising at at. Like I (and many others) said when this all started… all the smoke aside, this guy is not an NHL calibre player.

Also, just wanted make history by being “Poster #1000” in the first PTO thread in HF history to get to 1000+ posts… a PTO thread… 1000+posts.

Lock’r up!
