Luke Fox of Sportsnet: The Vancouver Canucks have expected more from pending restricted free agent Jake Virtanen. The 24-year still does have some trade value for someone willing to give him a change of scenery.
“We’ve been patient with him and his development but he’s a guy who I was expecting to produce more for us,” Benning said on Sportsnet 650.
“I was expecting more from Jake in the playoffs. He can skate, he’s strong, he can get to the net, and he’s a guy that we’re going to have to talk about here moving forward.
