I think the most frustrating thing about Virtanen at this point is a look back at his 2014 draft class, and how all the players drafted around him are doing. Many of the players drafted far behind him are exceeding what he's been able to do with his ample opportunities.
In fact, looking at the top 15 picks, now that we're 3 years removed, it's telling to see that every single one of them have proven to be legit NHLers that will likely have long careers (barring injury) with the exception of Virtanen taken 6th, Heydn Fluery taken 7th by Carolina, and Nick Ritchie taken 10th by Anaheim. All the rest of them (and don't even get me started about Pasternak taken 25th by Boston) have stepped up. Just typical Canuck's luck that we ONCE AGAIN missed out.
