Loui Eriksson at 0 million..What’s better for our team?
Jake at 3 million, or Tofu at 5 million?
Or Brock at 100% health.
Or Jake with an attitude adjustment.

McCann being a center vs. Virtanen being a winger will play a factor here (IMO).
I think Virtanen's RFA deal will be worth somewhere between $2.5 and $2.75m for 1 or 2 years.
Mccann just did 2 yerars for under 3. Maybe Jake at $2.5 for 3 years?What’s better for our team?

Yes there are also morons on other sites who're speculating the Canucks simply walk away from Virtanen and fail to qualify him as an RFA.Sekeres said yesterday he would trade Virtanen for a 4th round pick. Yes these morons actually get paid to say this stuff.
And yes I turned off the radio after he said it.
Jake for Carlo works for me. But if Benning can use Jake as sweetener to dump Loui, that works better. Rather clear 9 million in cap (Jake’s likely 3 plus Loui’s 6) than have Carlo.Rumor du jour has the Canucks talking trade with Boston for Virtanen. Maybe the B's are hoping to catch lightning a bottle twice with a second Cam Neely trade?
I have a feeling the Canucks will end up with Brandon Carlo. I remember some posters were afraid Benning was going to draft him in 2015. Lucky they grabbed Boeser instead.
JV for Carlo could work, but it really depends on the likely term for Carlo's next contract.Jake for Carlo works for me. But if Benning can use Jake as sweetener to dump Loui, that works better. Rather clear 9 million in cap (Jake’s likely 3 plus Loui’s 6) than have Carlo.

You are wayyyy off on this. No chance JV fetches Carlo. His value is a 2nd round pick at best.JV for Carlo could work, but it really depends on the likely term for Carlo's next contract.
Agreed. After the Staal dumperoo it looks like a second round pick is the cost to dump one year of a guy about 4-5 million. Maybe Jake as sweetener to dump Sutter is fair value for Jake?You are wayyyy off on this. No chance JV fetches Carlo. His value is a 2nd round pick at best.

If Jake would take a deal that keeps him cost controlled 2.5 mil/yr. then yes he’s worth keeping. He’s going to get at least a million more than that on arbitration. Would we rather Jake at 3.5 million, or Tofu at 5 million? For 1.5 million more on the cap is there any doubt?Keep a cost controlled young third liner like Jake
Every single one of Vancouver’s centres has scored more goals as a line playing without Virtanen then they have with him over the last two seasons.
Even if you were to remove last season from the equation and only focus on this year’s breakout campaign, the same fact remains true.
Can you link this radio hit please? Which hour was it?
It was very early on in the show. In the first 30 mins I’d day. Soon after the “Welcome Matt.”
He quote was essentially: “I’d do cartwheels down Robson if I could could a 2nd for JV. I’d also trade him for a 3rd. And you know what, I’d probably even trade him for a 4th.”
Keep a cost controlled young third liner like Jake
The Canucks clearly leaked the offer of a 4th.Cue the talk of media helping Benning set up the environment where trading JV for a late 2nd is a massive win.
Jake seems like such a fun loving young guy. Can’t help but like him, or at least what we get to know of him. It’s too bad his lack of professionalism (off ice commitment to fitness, diet, and training to be his best) gets in the way of him being the best player he can be. I think it’s the frustration some media and fans feel about the difference between Jake’s natural gifts and his performance that are the issue. As a person, Jake comes across as A-1.Vancouver media has a weird hate boner for Virtanen. They’re acting like he’s Brandon Prust.
