At defense, yes.My point with Virtanen is leafs need a little grit

Not worth trading assets for....if the D gets fixed and there is still room for a move? Maybe....Up front as well
I see no reason to leave him on the roster right now given the mess Chiarelli has our defence in. He will be a top 4 defenceman soon, but is better served by being in the minors right now. This season is a write off and our RD/LD mix is all wrong right now. Let’s give a capable GM time to fix this and I am sure Jones will be done seasoning in the minors in time for the spot to open up.Stop being a homer. I watch edmonton consistently and there’s no way Jones is top 4. On a team starved for defence you’d think you’d keep him and not send him down if he’s a top 4 dman no?
Sure but he’s proven nothing to this point that proves he’s a sure fire top 4 dman.I see no reason to leave him on the roster right now given the mess Chiarelli has our defence in.

before anyone starts making offers of their teams spare parts, try this exercise. What piece will kind of sting if your GM traded away that player?
Remember both sides have to feel like they gave up something in a trade.
Spot on description as to why he should stayJake is finally on a nice trajectory, though he still has games where he's too passive. That said he's the type of guy who can turn it up in the playoffs and be a disruptive force. I think he'll continue to develop over the next few years and improve into a solid middle-6 power forward type threat. For a team like the Canucks that's a valuable asset.
