He’s getting 4 million dollars and I’m sure not many teams wanna deal with that so his trade value is nil. God this off-season sucks
Yes. Unless it’s over the walk away amount which it should not be.If the arbitration award is too much for the Nucks do they have to sign him?

it’s like a QO. Arbitrators ruling is final.
If the arbitration award is too much for the Nucks do they have to sign him?
Thanks. I am thinking around 2.1-2.3.
Using this comparable, I'd expect JV to come in anywhere from 2.5M to 3M. He doesn't PK for us but production is usually worth something in the NHL so it shouldn't be far off what Kapanen got. And that's fine with me - I've been advocating he be used in our top 6 anyway with PP time and I expect him to more than justify what he'll be paid.He is not getting $4M. Kapanen's 20+24=44 and utility on the PK got him $3.2M x 3 last summer and I doubt that Virtanen can jump that AAV hurdle in arbitration.
You don't know hockey. Virtanen is the reason we won game 5 and turned the momentum in the series. Re-watch the game bud, we don't have a player in the bottom 6 that could have done what he did. Step onto the top line and spark them.

Bud bud bud.
With that logic we would still be paying Cowan 5mil per.

Under? Look what Josh Anderson got. Look what konecny got.If they sign him without arbitration it'll probably be a two-year deal and I'd guess an AAV of a little under $3M. But grind him for every dollar; he doesn't deserve any favours and they can't afford to play nice in negotiations anyway.
I thought that was speculation his agent actually said this ? When ?His aagent said 2 x 2.6 to 3 is what their looking for

It’ll be north of $3m

24/25/82 is not much more than 18/18/69. Virtanen has a good arbitration case.I don't see what Konecny's 41 ES points in 82 games (.50 ESPPG) at age 21 have to do with Virtanen's 27 ES points in 69 games (.38 ESPPG) at age 23, especially given that Konecny signed at a more favourable time. Not remotely comparable players. Almost everyone is surprised at the Anderson contract, it's a one-off and also six of the seven seasons are UFA years. Should also be noted that Anderson scored a single goal on 63 shots last season so his year was a combo of injury and incredibly low shooting %. He had been a rising player who contributes in more ways than Virtanen.
Kapanen scored ES points at a .50 rate and contributed as a PKer in the season prior to signing for $3.2M x 3.
If Jake's looking for more than $3M, I'd say: see you in arbitration and we won't be pulling any punches. Shortened season, high escrow and salary deferral; enjoy that one-year deal, pal, and if you are awarded a two-year deal there's no backloading available via arbitration to lessen the escrow/deferral hit nor to increase your QO when that contract expires.
I hadn't heard/read this, but if true a deal should be reached fairly easily. Is there a link to the source?
Ill try and find it for you guys. His agent is Kevin Epp (local guy) and it was either on TV or on radio i can't remember which one.I thought that was speculation his agent actually said this ? When ?
