They still haven't fired their coach. It's insane.

I wish Van would fire their coach

I do like Carrera. Makes things happen and seems to do something no one else in the organization does (from management down). He adjusts to the situation.

Im hoping he takes another step forward this year.

So why wasn't he drafted higher?

No idea. Does it really matter? Look at other forwards taken after Virtanen in that draft.. and I'm not talking Nylander Ehlers Larkin Pastrank.. Fiala Perlini Vrana Kapanen so on all producing pretty decent in AHL. Virtanen should be doing alot better then these guys considering draft spot.. doesn't worry you a little bit? He could defiantly turn it around but I'd be a bit disappointed at this point.

It's his first year in the AHL. Honestly when he is 22 i'll start to be a bit worried. Don't drink the Craig Button Kool-aid. Kids don't rule the league. The exceptions might but few and far between.

Ugly contract to Clutterbuck. Good for him..

I sind he could turn it around but compared to other forwards from the first round that draft I'd be worried. Also looks like he has be managed a little odd too.

This is his first AHL season. He should not have played in the NHL last year....that was managements fault.
But I hear what you are saying.

He's coming to Van.

That's where leftovers go?

Yeah. I feel like his agent went into those meetings with a printout of Matt Martin's face, and just kept sliding it forward everytime that Garth spoke

Wonder why Nikolas Brouillard is playing in the ECHL instead of AHL.. he would probably do better than Justin Holl and other Ds...
