Virtanen intrigues me, but I have no idea how much he signs for. He is Rene Bourque-ish to me - probably going to be a great 2nd liner for a few years, but mostly a third line guy for most of his career - IF he commits. If he doesn't, well... he will float around as a 4th liner for a while. If he REALLY commits and has fantastic on and off ice support - I bet he could really impress some people, even myself.
How much is that worth? I have no idea. Probably too much to make me feel good about him signing with the Flames.
