He passes better than your average NHLer. Those guys are on our top six because they are better at other areas of the game, not passing. This season alone you could compile a list of very nice passes he's made.
Virtanen would be the single worst passer on our entire roster, bar none. Worse than Jankowski or Hathaway even.
I can't believe you think Virtanen and Bennett are in the same stratusphere as passers.

Over the last 3 years he averages out to be a 3rd liner based on assists (216th, based on a 31 team league). I wouldn't call that above average.
