Proposal: Van Car

[fmrdh]

Not a fan of either team but I like these players and they both may benefit from a change of scenery.


Jake Virtanen


Elias Lindholm

Who adds?

As much as I really don't want to give up on Virtanen yet I wouldn't be opposed to this. Gonna say it's a little unrealtistic and Vancouver needs an add.

 

[DJN21]

Equal value.

 

[Carolinas Identity*]

when i first clicked on this thread i thought it was about automobiles

van prolly needs to a a pick but i like it

 

[mariolemieux66]

I thought Virtanen was part of the core in Vancouver going forward??????

 

[wonton15]

Lindholm has gotten 0.5 points per game in the past 2 seasons but has been -23 in each of those years. Is he that bad to be traded for Virtanen? (haven't watched Lindholm play outside of games against Canucks)

 

[StroShow]

Deal from Vancouver perspective

 

[Addison Rae]

yeah this seems like a fantastic deal for vancouver, would absolutely add anything realistic to get it done.

 

[clunk]

Good deal. I'd do it.

 

[GoldiFox]

Pass from Carolina. Lindholm has been a bit disappointing, but at least he has been somewhat effective. Virtanen has shown nothing at the AHL or NHL level.

 

[fmrdh]

If anybody adds it would be VAN IMO.

Yep in exactly 4 AHL games.........

 

[WhiskeyYerTheDevils]

Why does Carolina do this? Awful.

 

[Canadian Canuck]

Very fair deal great job OP. Still tough to trade Vietnam though.

 

[GoldiFox]

Yep in exactly 4 AHL games.........

Plus an AHL Playoff run where it looks like he did nothing (1 point in 10 games). I didn't watch it so I can only speculate due to lack of production.

 

[Murzu]

I would not do this if I was Carolinas GM.

 

[fmrdh]

Why would Carolina do this? Lindholm has 3 points this season.

Both players would benefit from a change of scenery, especially Lindholm. So amazing as a 17-year old, such an underwhelming development.

http://thehockeywriters.com/elias-lindholm-where-are-you/

Its been 14 games lol. And has 3 points with 29 SOG. He just hasn't gotten any bounces. He's put up back to back seasons of 39 points on a putrid Carolina offense.

Compared to Jake Virtanen, with an entire 1 point in 14 career AHL games and 14 points in 65 career NHL games.

Elias Lindholm is WAAAAAAY better than Jake Virtanen, hence my question, why would Carolina do this? Even in his current slump he is significantly outperforming Virtanen lol. This proposal is a joke.

 

[Love]

Easy yes for the Canucks

 

[GoldiFox]

While I wouldn't give up Lindholm, I think the Canes would be interested if Vancouver were to move Virtanen. They are weak at RW and their top-9 is small. Skinner, Aho, or Teravainen's strengths might mask Virtanen's weaknesses and vice-versa.

LOL so you haven't watched him, but feel you that stat watching gives you a good enough indication of what kind of player he is?

Yah context isn't important or anything right?

 

[iFan]

I'd hope the Canucks would pass on this, work with Jake, we could really use his grit even if it's on the 3rd line. We need to send him to the AHL and let him develop, that's what the problem has been we have a GM that wants him here and a coach that doesn't.

 

[WhiskeyYerTheDevils]

Please, explain where Virtanen has shown the potential to be anything close to what Lindholm has shown. What context am I missing?

Lindholm is the far better player and plays the more important position.
