He’s gonna be a stud

As long as he doesn't develop any bad habits due to the calibre of competition.

He's gonna be a load to handle in the OHL, though.

Yeah hopefully we don’t have a Jake Virtanen repeat.

Fortunately he isn’t related. Papa Virtanen won’t have any influence.

Is it me, or did his neck get thicker??? Sign of some gains in the weight room?

He’s apparently slotting in Boston’s top-six, so we’ll see how his summer paid off.

This could be one of the more intriguing WJC tourneys this Christmas with a handful of Canuck prospects taking part.

Agreed.

Might be the best part of a Canuck fans season in 26/27.

Followed by a positive lottery result

Proof the kid has the hands. Now it’s getting him ready and confident to pull that off against NHLers.

Will look forward to seeing him in Kingston this season. Him and Rogowski.

You could see the rightful Canadian theme forming almost from the moment these new guys took over. Some anti Rutherford juju underway.
