Thread: Brekel's Mock Draft 2.0
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GuyWithATry</b></div><div>I very generously gave you a 3 star rating. #1 problem is that Vancouver already has 3 C's in Sedin, Horvat and Sutter, so Spooner doesn't meet their needs at all. #2 you traded for a guy who's not only had zero NHL success, but also zero AHL success and you put him on your first line. That's basically obviously insane and a lack of pure logic. Even if you're trying to balance the lines, this guy won't keep up and will be back in the AHL before you know it. This would be better if you just added a mid priced UFA to play on the first line. Maybe Justin Williams for like 3Mil x2years? I don't know.... just a suggestion, I don't wanna take over your mock.... just think theres gotta be a better option than Virtanen on line 1. Lets see him prove himself at the AHL level before we go to crazy with him.</div></div>

THN reported that Vancouver is interested in making an offer for Spooner.

Thread: Brekel's Mock Draft 2.0
The Virtanen trade is an interesting idea. At first glance, I was 90% for it, but after looking at his performance in Vancouver I have some doubts. Granted, its pretty difficult for a young player to reach his full potential on a dumpster fire that is the Canucks, but he wasn't even performing at the AHL level. Vancouver would have to add a pick (maybe a 3rd or 4th) for me to get on board with this.

But on the other hand this could be a low risk/high reward scenario. Spooner isn't playing another game in Boston, so we need to get at least something of value in return for him. If Virtanen can come into Boston and perform well with Bergy and Marchand, it could really help out our lines (i.e. no need to look for a LW as you mentioned). It would also provide a veteran presence on the third line w/Backes helping out JFK and Vatrano.

Okay im done rambling. Good mock.
