Value of: Jake Virtanen

[Kevs Security]

You're right he did sign with finnish team Jokerit yesterday

My sources are telling me that you are correct. Great insight my man!

 

[Peen]

How about Puljujarvi for Virtanen? Nothing more, nothing less. Fair deal for both sides.

Sutter + Gagner in the deal.

 

[Oil Spill]

Bear and a late pick from Edmonton. Bear looks NHL ready this year. Bottom pairing and 2nd PP unit likely for this season with room to grow into a 2nd pairing kinda guy.

Edmonton sees if Virtanen sticks with any of their centers.

Not interested in trading Bear unless it's a proven upgrade

 

[lawrence]

will probably be seeking a player for player type trade, example will be something like Ho sang for Virtanen, not Ho sang but another struggling young player on another team looking for a change of scenery. I'm a huge Virtanen supporter people know that, but even I am getting tired of him. not disliking him for the lack of offence, we kinda knew that that is an unlikely scenerio and a good 3rd line checker but he is not even that, and Todd Bertuzzi said it best, maybe him playing in his home town has placed too much pressure on him.

 

[Halla]

3rd + B prospect. Maybe a contender coughs up a late 2nd

 

[Canadian Canuck]

Virtanen for Honka+Condtional 3rd (Turns into a 2nd if Virtanen scores 20 goals)

 

[Mtler in Toronto]

Virtanen for Honka+Condtional 3rd (Turns into a 2nd if Virtanen scores 20 goals)

Jake the Mistake for a Honka garbage is fair for both sides

Right shot D is actually a bigger hole on Edmonton's roster.

Larsson (career dying)
Persson (NHL rookie)
Benning (ugh)
Bear (AHL-up)
Bouchard (AHL)

Larsson's career dying is just a lie

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

Jankowski for Jake.

We'll see. He's been a mere shadow of himself after the passing of his father.

 

[Cogburn]

We won't get a player or asset back that would fullfil what Virtanen does (once every ten games) for our roster by the looks of things.

I'm happy keeping him as a 4th liner or spare forward.

 

[HaNotsri]

Sheary is a streaky goalscorer, 30 pts or more three years in a row. Could add a minor pick as well. You will at least get a 3rd for Sheary at the trade deadline. Maybe more with his playoff experience and if he has a good year.

Buffalo has a coach that actually communicates with his players now, Virtanen could be good on our bottom 6.

 

[Luck 6]

Virtanen is not what he was drafted to be, but he’s still a 15 goal 3rd line who skates like the wind and throws his weight around. He was also only 22 years old last season, I think he can improve from there. He’s also a hometown kid.

I just don’t see much incentive in moving him unless it’s in a package for a legit player. A player for player swap may be okay, but I don’t think this is a case where it brings us much value.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

3rd + Hudon (if clears), Peca, Weise (?)

 

[PetterssonSimp]

The Canucks have a glut of forwards. What they don’t need is NHL level contracts in return. It should be a waiver exempt player or a pick. Unless someone is willing to take Jake as the sweetener in a deal where Canucks dump a bad contract on someone else.

Jim Benning trades don't involve picks unless he's the one giving them away.

 

[elitepete]

Jankowski for Jake.

Every offer in this thread is a no so far but I would consider this one.

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

I would as well. I think Dube can fill the roles Janks is for us, I’d rather utilize Virtanen’s size and speed on the wing.

Seems like the Buffalo Sabres would be a good fit for Virtanen to succeed as the Sabres are lacking some size/grit in the forward group and Tage Thompson is a bit of an unknown to make it or not, while JV is more of a proven commodity and is at an age to come around now, especially with a much needed change of scenery away from the home town spotlight.

But the Canucks don't want or need another forward coming back, we have a surplus as depth as it is, a puck rusher dman is needed more - like a scoring RD an upgrade over Stecher.

Sabres have an abundance of d, some good ones but while I think virtanen is a fit it’s kind of hard to figure out a balanced deal.

Ristolainen, Pilut, Gilmour, Montour, Jokiharju, Miller, Dahlin are all good puck movers.

Our crappy ones:
Scandella looks a lot better after surgery but not like the top 4 guy he was.
Bogosian is always injured, Buffalo should be able to retain salary at least.
Nelson is an option if you want a decent depth guy.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

We'll give you McCann back and take Virtanen.

Virtanen for Honka+Condtional 3rd (Turns into a 2nd if Virtanen scores 20 goals)

Lol, why would Dallas do that.

So you're punishing Dallas for the probability that he would do better for a better coach?

I thought McCann looked well since he joined Pittsburgh?
