A bubble team with $39m tied up in 5 burnt out players.

Seabrook scratched
Keith 0 goals
Bowman coattail ride of Tallon is over

- Nighthawk

If Seabrook was scratched tonight, how did he score a goal?

Please trade Virtanen to Boston so he can be the next Cam Neely, lol The fourth line is not where this guy belongs and with the playoffs pretty much out of the question I would play him in the top six and see how he does.
- joegreif17

He's learning the smaller details of the game, Green is developing him well.


Can't just gift guys top 6 minutes because their young and high draft picks, that's how you become the Oilers.

Any thoughts on Virtanen from the Canucks diehards on here?? Would really appreciate some opinions.

He's always flying all over the ice. Offensive numbers are down to limited minutes and grinder linemates. Green wants him to learn the smaller details because he knows the offense will come naturally once he does the little things well.

Thank you, personally I see some shifts that are eye opening but he certainly lacks consistency, but I think if he puts it all together one day he can be a sniper. Not going to get a lot of points but could score 25 goals or more if he evolves.

Agreed


His pro hockey career path has been eerily similar to Chris Kreider's.

If Tree came back for the 2019-20 seasons that would be great timing for us. Sure look good with our prospects being ready.

No
- Nucker101


Yes

We have to many young skilled forwards like Virtanen, he's taking minutes away from foundational veteran like Sutter and Eriksson.

Addition by subtraction really, get rid of him now for what we can and open up some space for higher end forwards like dahlin, Peterson, dowd and guadette. Get another 1st in this deep draft.

Win win really.

No thanks. JB believes in him and so do I. He's one of those guys that's value goes beyond just goals/points. He's gonna be crucial to our long-term success since our high end young skill forwards need some sandpaper to balance our our lineup. Otherwise we become the soft serve Leaves
