Stauffer wouldn't have inside sources with Flames management. Not even the beat writers have that sort of access.

Right, but what is truly sad is that at least there are still people in the Oilers Org. that will still speak to him. Poor David Staples has no one to talk to anywhere.

He doesn't want to lay big hits or engage physically because he's afraid to get hit. He got dummied as a rookie and predominantly became a shrinking violet perimeter player.

He does get info from Katz directly and others in the organization so it's possible he gets info that agents have shared with the Oilers regarding other teams like the Flames.

An agent's job is to drive up the client's asking price. A casual inquiry can be spun into a supposed bidding war.
That said, I'd be braced for the possibility.

I’ll be choked if the Flames sign Virtanen. Oilers can have him.

I hope the Oilers sign him.

Why are some people actually worried? I really doubt the Flames are even interested. It's a tweet, quoting Stauffer of all people. The chance that this is real is quite small in my opinion. This is far more likely to be Stauffer making it look better for the Oilers if they end up signing him.

take all the personal stuff out...could this guy even make the Flames? I highly doubt it.
If he came here on a PTO I really wouldn't care much one way or another, he would have to play remarkably well to make the team or he would just be released

It’s easy to outperform a guy with a leg for an arm, and an arm for a leg.

Stauffer will not report that the Flames are out now too. In fact, he will probably say they were the first ones out.

Virtanen would be too much of a distraction in this town, and maybe even moreso were he with the Wranglers.
Hoping he's headed to an American city that could afford him some degree of anonymity.

seems like that would be the best for all involved
the guy had 5 points in his last NHL season and is trending on twitter in Canada because he is rumored to be signing a PTO

Spec suggests Virtanen will not be an Oiler, but I don't know what he's playing at with his jab at Puljujarvi. Completely unnecessary, and the two players aren't even remotely comparable.

Virtanen is a creep.
Puljujarvi is just a goofball.

Goofball is a perfect description for that guy. Tongue picking his boogers all game long.
