    Actually less than what most expected...time for shotgun Jake to prove he has what it takes and that he can actually adapt his game to what the team needs.

    Man, I fully expected Virtanen to be traded based on JB's end of year comments.. coupled with the MacEwen comments

    Is this because Van wants him or is it another example of JB's seemingly inept ability to make this type of deal? Eriksson, Beagle, Sutter... the list kinda goes on.

    What I'm excited to see now is a Virtanen - Gaudette - Hawryluk line.

    I doubt it's got a NMC or NTC so a trade is still quite possible. It's certainly an attractive contract.

    It's better than I expected as well. Not by much, but still better. I figured he'd be in the $2.7-$3M range.

    Hmmm. Going to have to watch Virtanen closer I guess.
    This seems a little rich to me. I thought he should have come in under Mangiapane's deal.

    He was on pace for 21G - 21 A , 43 pts , 180 shots and 120 hits playing 13 Mins a game...

    He's improved each season and if we wash his 1st season ( because he was rushed) then the next season could be considered his 4th yr breakout and with 15 mins a gme he could pyentially have a : 25-25 -50 , 200 shots , 150 hits!!

    Virtanen has the skills and ability to be better than Toffoli.
    the problem with him has always been between his ears & his level of commitment.

    he doesn't seem to have that laser like focus that Brad Marchand like never turn off compete level he needs to have.

    If he has 20 shifts in a game. 2-3 are really good, one will be great. He'll disappear for 10 and then have 4-5 that gets him benched for the final 5 min of a game or even get healthy scratched.

    Greene has been so damn patient with him. coached in him Utica for an eternity trying to remove head from @ss there as well.

    At least this past season Virtanen came to camp in the best shape of his life - he was still above the expected weight he was given.
    you see signs of life in him. When play resumed before the playoffs. Virtanen had a horrible scrimmage. Greene couldn't even gloss over it in the post-interview.
    Virtanen knew he played like crap. This is where we're seeing his mentality change... molasses like slow.

    Greene was not happy with the effort of a lot of players so he bag skated them afterward.
    Virtanen went out and buried everyone to a player on that bag skate. he was holding himself accountable. Two years ago, he lumbers in the bottom half of that pack pissed about the skate and not fully aware of his on-ice performance.

    There is 30-30 potential there. This 2yr deal gives him a chance to get there.
    he hasn't done enough, consistently enough to stay in the top 6. With Toffoli gone, the opening is there. he needs to step up and grab it before they bring in someone else and it's gone for good... and likely so is he.
    This could turn into a hugely value deal for Van if he can correct the above issues.

    Agreed , word is he's all ready training with Myers away from Van and distractions... \He said J.T Miller really woke him up and inspired him... fingers toes and eyes crossed.

    I said he was rushed , next year could be 4th year break out if u wash 1st season 25 - 25 - 50 , 200 shots , 150 hits with 15 mins a game

    Danton Heinen gets 2.8 M and scores 10 goals , dosntr shoot , not physical... Great Deal for Jake and his potential
