Realistically you should go 2 years since he is ufa in 3. No point in coming back here again IMO.I'm hoping it's a 1 year deal for as low of a cap hit as possible.
He just came off his bridge. That typically is put up to shut up time. And still here we are with the team cringing cause his arbitration award is likely what Fabbri and McCann got at $2.95 mill perThe guy should be signing for big bucks by now instead of a 1-2 year show us what you got contract
I’m hoping it’s a three year deal for 2-2.5 per, and then we trade his ass.I'm hoping it's a 1 year deal for as low of a cap hit as possible.

Arbitration uses last seasons RFA comparables not this most recent season as far as I recall.He just came off his bridge. That typically is put up to shut up time. And still here we are with the team cringing cause his arbitration award is likely what Fabbri and McCann got at $2.95 mill per
just goes to show where Jake is.
that works tooI’m hoping it’s a three year deal for 2-2.5 per, and then we trade his ass.
Since it looks like Virtanen will be our 2nd best right wing I think we should go all in see what we have.
miller - EP - Virt
Pearson - Bo - Boeser

What about Tony from Richmond?
I'd do it for a 2nd straight up easily if they can get Mysak or Gunler.This guy should be gone. 2nd and a prospect should do it.
People like the nebulous idea of Jake Virtanen. The actual person does not resemble what we'd all like him to be. His speed is more myth than reality. His hits are not punishing, they meet the bare minimum standard to even be recorded as hits. Has anyone ever seen him flying in first on the forecheck making the defence pay? Ever? That should be his bread and butter. The only way I see him getting there is with a change of scenery or a similar type of "oh shit I could lose my dream" type of scenario.I still haven't lost faith in Jake. If we didn't have him, we'd be looking for someone just like him.

How is his speed "myth" ? He is the fastest skater in the team
Jake skates super fast, but he processes the game super slow.How is his speed "myth" ? He is the fastest skater in the team
