Yeah Um you’d actually have to throw in a pretty good asset just to get another team to take Jake off your hands now. He pretty much has negative value at the moment

Um, you could just put him on waivers couldn't you?

I dont think he can get a visa to travel to usa and work with a serious charge like rape very easily so his NHL career might be on hold til he is sentenced. The KHL will be where he ends up i think

He hasn't actually been charged with a crime yet, has he?

Nope. At least not publicly yet. Canucks have taken a complete step away as they should. Under the current circumstances, Virtanen is not an asset that can be traded. I have 0 clue how this will turn out.

No that lady just filed a civil suit, didn't press charges, typically this usually just ends up settled out of court with a monetary settlement, unless Jake wants to bring this to a civil trial.
Can the Canucks just win a Cup within the next 5 years.

He probably has a defamation suit ready for when it fizzles

Nah, she'll have no assets, Jake will pay to make it go away, and he'll have to live with the stigma even though he's never charged.

Media has impunity in this regard. It is almost impossible to hold them to account for their biased reporting. It is not about truth, it is about advertising.

Worst kept secret is the Canucks hiring Daniel and Henrik Sedin in front office roles. Believe the team makes an official announcement at some point this week.

I don't know about y'all, but this rape accusation could be just the thing Jake needs. It's all been fun and games for him so far but I bet he's taking life a hell of a lot more seriously now. Probably feels like a fool and might just refocus on hockey as an outlet. Trading him now could be a mistake.

Terminating Jake's contract is still the best case scenario for the Canucks imo.

Even if he doesn't lose the civil suit there could still be enough proof of questionable behavior there to violate the terms of his contract.
