I would rather have the Canucks keep Virtanen than add Burakovsky.

Interesting. Burakovsky's tied with Drouin for 7th in his draft class in goals. Virtanen's one year younger, in soul posession of 19th place in goal scoring the class of 2014.

I would rather see Washington keep Bowey than add Pouliot, for whatever it's worth.

Here are replays of Burakovsky's two goals from game seven of the Eastern Conference Finals, playing with the broken wrist that I think explained his slow start to this season: https://www.nbcsports.com/washington/video/burakovsky-bounces-back-huge-two-goal-performance-game-7

He followed that up with four assists in under an hour of ice time in the Stanley Cup FInals, joining a big tie for sixth in points on either side, in the series. But I guess Virtanen came in sixth in draft position, like Sam Gagner before him, so there's that.

I hope they do, and as bad as this season is going, their motivation to trade him for someone not as good who's not slumping right now is probably disappearing by the day.

Edit: I do think this is a win-win trade, though, because the Caps need a bottom six stalwart, and Virtanen hits a lot, with some upside. The Canucks reportedly inquired about Burakovsky to add a top line wing and help fellow-Swede Pettersson make a push for rookie of the year.

Burakovsky is outscoring Virtanen in their last fifteen games, four points to two. Virtanen's current stretch of just two points in fifteen games is tied with the awful start to this season that made Burakovsky the laughingstock of this web site.

I wouldn't think either team would want to value either player based on a weak month, but instead I think each team should look at its own puzzle of how to be a successful team and see who fits better, where. If Vancouver is better off with Burakovsky, but needs to make up the lost hits, I wonder if the Caps could add in a tough checking forward prospect like O'Brien, to balance out the difference.
