Awesome Middle-Six

what the **** is this crap? Virtanen is a bottom 6 winger that was a healthy scratch in the playoffs.

Well, the point of this ACGM is to highlight the solid middle-six that this team could have, that's where I spent most of my time. I just put in a top line RW that would work with cap. That being said, I think Virtanen would play a similar role to the one that Hudler played a couple of years ago. Maybe not the best player in the world, but will keep up with Gaudreau and Monahan/be a good complement.

Improving the middle 6 by aborting the top line doesn't make this better

Anyway your core has done nothing in the playoffs for half a decade now, you REALLY need to retool

And swearing/insulting people doesn't make you intelligent nor does it encourage people to see your point of view. People skills clearly isn't your strong suit eh? I'd love to open up one of these threads involving the Flames and not see your ignorant hot taeks in the comments. Sadly, trolling is the only thing you seem to know how to do effectively.



I'm not sure Virtanen has the same skillset as Hudler (lack creativity and vision) but may be a Ferland comparable. I'm not sure you'll have to trade for him though as the Canucks can't afford to qualify him so he may just become a UFA at which point they could acquire him on a "prove it" contract without expending assets. I'd also suggest maybe he stay to the bottom 6 until you see if the reputation of his work ethic is accurate or not. Definitely worth a look though!
