Losing Heinen for Virtanen wouldn't really bother me. I just don't think this move would make Anaheim any better. Year ago they gave away one disappointing powerforward and now they would be acquiring a similar guy. It's not going to make a difference.
Honestly I’d rather them trade Heinen for a late second or something rather than Virtanen
I think if you retained a bit someone would bite for a pick past the 50s. hell Stepan got the Yotes a mid second with no retention. Plus Heinen has a bit of team control as well.I think they would have done a deal for a 2nd if they could get one. Teams aren't willing to take on money this year whatsoever. Also, I don't think Heinen is worth a 2nd.
So we add double the cap AND give up the best player?I'd guess that means Baertschi + Virtanen for Heinen.
Plot thickens
Ritchie had low iq when he was playing for us. Makes dumbass penalties and turns the puck over without doing much of anything
This trade makes perfect sense for the Canucks, then. I'm not sure it'd be good for the Ducks unless you want to take the chance that Virtanen can return to his ~40 point pace, because he does struggle defensively and with intensity. Especially in Green's system.Solid, can help on PK
The Nucks are my second favorite team so ive watched a fair bit of Virtanen and I think he would be even worse in the Ducks system, defensively and offensively, I just don’t see who he’s have chemistry with or where he’d fit inThis trade makes perfect sense for the Canucks, then.

they could save a bunch of money if they fired Murray and his staff, just saying...We have tons of money coming off the books next year and are worried about adding a million in salary. Ownership certainly pays attention to one thing, at least.
They already started down this road. Management and coaching salaries have been reduced 25%. Susan has her eye on some nice art for the attic.they could save a bunch of money if they fired Murray and his staff, just saying...
