I'm a Sabres fan first and Canucks second and there is no way I would want Virtanen over Ristolainen. I still consider Risto as part of the core that the Sabres are rebuilding around. Can the same be said for Jake? The problem with Risto is he has been asked to do too much, play too many minutes and he hasn't shown well in Housley's system. If his minutes were cut back a little he can be an effective 2-3 pairing NHL defenseman. A big physical smooth skating defenseman is not something I'm ready to give up on.
