Player Discussion Jake Virtanen (MOD WARNING POST 755)

[iceburg]

My recollection is that by draft day the mood was there Virtanen would be picked, but of course there was plenty of people who didn't want that compared to Nylander and Ehlers (forgotten in this is that Nick Ritchie was wanted by a handful as well

Jessop's Virtanen Is Good. So Don’t Draft Him article has obviously aged like a fine wine

Even Perlini was mentioned as "the other power forward" to Virtanen and Ritchie.

Also this maybe the managements last straw

Last straw? I must be missing something.

Last straw? I must be missing something.

There are allegations on social media that cannot be discussed on this website without a credible media source picking up the story. That’s what the smoke is about this morning.

Yep, this was not hindsight. I recall a good number of posters thought we'd get Nylander instead.

The common perception was Ehlers or Nylander, with the posters concerned about size pushing for Ritchie, right? Virtanen was just barely off the radar for most people.

They’re talking about management and their seemingly endless amount of rope though.
Edit - at least I think?

Lol mods deleted my post for saying the allegations shouldnt be treated as true. Nerds.

Has a player ever hit rock bottom for the Canucks like Jake Virtanen has?

Bertuzzi clobbering Steve Moore is the only thing that comes to mind in comparison.

Kass getting shipped to MTL?

Prior to Bertuzzi becoming a butt hurt slob, he actually produced for the Canucks.
