^nothing else is new on this! Look what they did with kassian.....any young guy on this roster will get fucked! Even with Bo they are hindering his development. Guy starts the season on the 4th line and expect him to produce. He has moved up the line up but still not getting the OZ starts that he should.

Talk on TSN this morning is a trade.
Virtanen for EKane9
Kane will be going to court on monday for; Quote: |
He was arrested in July, a month after allegedly grabbing three women by the hair and neck in separate instances during an altercation at a downtown Buffalo bar. Kane, who was forcibly removed from the bar by security staff, has pleaded not guilty to four counts of noncriminal harassment, one count of disorderly conduct and one count of misdemeanour trespass.
| Evander Kane blames legal issues on being targeted as athlete - NHL on CBC Sports - Hockey news, opinion, scores, stats, standings
He is troubled, but also skilled. Not to mention in the interview he seemed a lot more mature than in the past. Could he be the next Seguin? Or Hall? and actually become that leader in the room? Quote:

It's not peewee hockey out there. Those guys have such great ice vision that the chances of them getting a "too many men" penalty is small enough that they don't need to sprint to the gate after a shift.

I might actually consider Kane for Virtanen swap.
I wouldn't have last year...but if what he's saying is true, and he's not actually injured, then his current run of play is scary and amounts to be the weakest, softest 9-11 minutes from a supposed physical player. For his sake I hope he's nursing some shoulder ailment.
And tbh, i don't hold high hopes for Virtanen at this point. His development might already have been fucked up thanks to Willie so swapping him for an established skill in Kane might not be a bad idea.

When the media convoy finally pulled away from Jake Virtanen’s dressing room stall Thursday afternoon, Henrik Sedin slid over, gave him a pat on the shoulder and chuckled something along the lines of “look at all those people.”
| This was after his comments about lack of playing time. If the Sedins don't even like him, Canucks should trade this kid ASAP.
Another draft failure.

If Evander is traded from Buffalo to Vancouver, all the bouncers and ladies in clubs in the Lower Mainland need to be on high alert.
Put a Budweiser Red Light in a club as an early warning system of a HurriKane.

^ lol hurrikane...maybe it's the coffee kicking in but I had a good laugh.
Kane for Virtanen is stupid. Unless buffalo is taking baggage for baggage no way.

If canucks were to repick him back up and ship him off to Utica, kinda crappy situation for Etem and honestly he doesntly really offer much that you can't easily find elsewhere in the league. At least 29 other NHL GM's agree too. Letting him go was the right hockey and human move.
Having said that not that long ago that Markstrom cleared waivers too... Quote:

Remember that Kassian was a project already when we got him from Buffalo. Remember that we gifted him to the Canadiens because NObody wanted him. Remember that he was shipped off to the Oilers after he still couldn't get his off ice act together with the Habs. It looks like Kassian has finally heard at least part of the message, but make no mistake this is not one you can pin on the Canucks.

Maybe I misread that entirely lol, but it is known he is not a dressing room favourite. Burrows has made comments about his drive in the past.

It's hard to get a read on the comments without context, but it seems more likely to me that he was referring to the media swarm than teammates.

expect virtanen to get benched/less minutes after this
"The lines have been changed pretty much every day so you’re not sure who you’re playing with,” he told the Vancouver media this week. “If you’re in the lineup, you like being able to get chemistry with your teammates and your linemates especially. And with Bo [Horvat] and Baertsch [Sven Baertschi], we do have chemistry. But when we’re switched around a lot it’s kind of hard to get that line going all the time. I have to play my game each and every night, but it’s hard to keep it going."
should of been sent to the ahl

He probably should keep quiet, but he's speaking the truth. Willie has been like that since he came to the Canucks. Keeps throwing shit at the wall with no rhyme or reason until it sticks.
