Vancouver Canucks fan favourite Jake Virtanen has been swirling in trade rumours all season long, which is a shock to me since that’s never happened before.
So far this season, the 24-year-old has a lone goal in 19 games and has been healthy scratched on multiple occasions due to his lacklustre play, and it’s now a matter of when, not if, he’ll get traded.
