Proposal: Derrick Pouliot for Jake Virtanen

[Epic Neal Time]

Thoughts? Two prospects on the verge of the NHL, but struggling to crack their respective lineups.

I think we'd be better served keeping the young PMD.

We have so many good young forwards that we can't find room for all of them in the line-up, but we're icing Warsofsky.

 

[EP to Kuzmenko]

Same from Vancouver. Pouliot has no use to us. With Juolevi,Hutton, Guddy, etc our future on D doesn't look as bleak as our future top 6.

Why do the Pens need another RWer? They traded a young RWer this summer because they didn't have a spot for him.

A team wih Alex Edler, Ben Hutton and Luca Sbisa signed through next season at a minimum, Ju coming up on the left side. Why do the Canucks need another left side defender?

Don't act like this is a good proposal for Vancouver, it's about as bad for us as you guys. We need what Jake brings to the table, especially when Ben Hutton and Troy Stecher have the Canucks fans quite happy with the direction of their young defensive squad.

If we still had Shinky I'd offer him for DP. As it stands we don't have a LW available for him.

Could you kindly point out where he acted like that?

Yeah what this guy said. I said it was bad for Pittsburgh, I never commented on whether it was bad for the Canucks because I don't really care.

Id rather see what Virtanen could do with some development time. Power Forwards can often take some time to develop their games...

That and the Canucks have enough young fringe Dmen in the system. Van needs top 6 forwards.

 

[Maurice of Orange]

I would make a proposal from the Flyers for Jake Virtanen, but we don't have anything that would interest Vancouver.

Vancouver seems like they're set on defense for the future so they wouldn't need any Flyers defensive prospects, and I'd offer an offensive prospect but it would be a downgrade for Virtanen, so I won't make an offer that would be disrespectful to Vancouver.

As much as I dislike Virtanen, I'd rather have the forward than the D right now.. If you can find me a decent forward to swap Virtanen for, I'd be all over it.
