Carol Schram: Contract possibilities for Vancouver Canucks' remaining RFA, Jake Virtanen After the Vancouver Canucks avoided salary arbitration by signing Troy Stecher, the team has just one RFA left to bring under contract—forward Jake Virtanen.

Thanks Carol

I would be okay with Jake at 2x1.5 . I would prefer 3x2

4 years ago, if I told you that our 6th overall pick would be signing for barely over $1m after his entry-level contract expired, you'd have called me crazy.

We would call you crazy regardless.

Enjoying the summer?

Crazy is as crazy does.

Thanks Carol

#NHLJets will have $66.5 million in salary for 18 signed players including Trouba. Leaves $13 million in cap space, but more like $9.3 million once $3.7 million in possible performance bonuses factored in. Morrissey, Poolman, Tanev, Dano and Petan all RFAs needing new deals. #wfp

@Vantel - I would prefer JV get league minimum... I don't think he's done bupkis in the NHL and doesn't deserve more than the minimum until he proves himself.

He should also have to renounce justin beaver....

@kaptaan
unless we didnt qualify him he has to get well over 900k. His QO was his salary + 10% i believe. 2 years 1.5 is good, so is 3 years 2m

Jake Bustanen!

Right up there with 18 year old rookie sensation Sam Bennett who was recently fired from his summer job

I'd still call him at least a little negative.

guess he didn't like the pick. as you say, what can you do?


still hoping JV can keep improving.

Can we get back to talking about how bad the Flames will be?

#Canucks prospect Toni Utunen has been named to Finland's World Junior summer showcase team.

#NHLJets settle with Brandon Tanev and sign the RFA to a 1 year deal at an AAV of $1.15M.

21 year ol Sam Bennett!!!!

In all seriousness, I think the Neal signing will be a disaster. A complete waste of cap space

And Lindholm they will sign him to big money and he is Granlund 2.0 and not the good one

I think he will do great ...he will score 20+ no matter where he plays and if he clicks on the top line he could score 30+
