He won't ever be a set up man, but pair him with the right center and you may have an elite winger. Corey Perry and Jeff Carter both came to mind for me after watching that video.
Based on what I've heard and their style of play I think I actually would prefer Virtanen to Dal Colle if the top 4 are gone (Ekblad, Bennett, Reinhart, Draisatl). I have a feeling Dal Colle is being propped up a bit since he already plays with an elite center at the junior level (Scott Laughton).

Dal Colle doesn't even play with Laughton a lot from what i have heard so far this year. 6 points so far in the playoffs and the only one Laughton is in on is a powerplay point. Dal Colle is on another level than Virtanen
[Edit] To add to this Laughton has been on 31.5% of Dal Colle's offense 19 pp and 11 es not much of a bump. Just from the stats it looks like he plays mostly with H. Smith and Sterk two less than ppg forwards while getting first unit pp with Laughton.
