I think there is a lot of assumptions being made about Virtanen. Is he playing well this season - no, has he lived up to his draft position - no, is he a sure fire top 6 winger - no. However he is a very fast, big body that can has a very good shot and was on the doorstep of 20 goals last year before the season ended. If players were traded for their value based on a 17 game stretch, Anderson wouldn't have landed in Montreal for Domi and then re-signed for 7 years @ $5.5. Virtanen is also still young enough that he has growth potential or at least the opportunity to return to a 20 goal/82gm pace. Yes Canuck fans don't like him, yes he lacks hockey IQ but to think he will be put on waivers or traded for a late round pick shows a lack of understanding of the player and hockey trade dynamics.
