Let's play a game... I've made my dark horse pick in Cederholm whose on no ones radar, who would yours be?

Can't choose a prospect currently rated in the top 10...

I'd be curious to know who you'd take and who other Canuck fans would take?

Take care...

If that doesn't count as an eligible guess, then I pick Alexandre Grenier.

Oct 2016 - When Jake Virtanen was rocked along the boards by a high Lance Bouma hit in the first period Saturday — the winger got up slowly — it set into process the league’s new concussion protocol. Four spotters watching all league games in Toronto and New York have the authority to remove players from games if they exhibit obvious concussion-like symptoms.

They also work in concert with arena spotters to ensure that a player absorbing a hit that may contact the head is also examined. He may not look concussed, but needs to be cleared and that occurred with Virtanen.

“Jake came back and played, so I don’t think there was anything,” Canucks coach Willie Desjardins said of the winger’s 8:24 of ice time and two good scoring chances.

“There are times when you think a guy may not need to go (for examination), but it’s important that we’re on the right side. We’ve gone through the videos and we know what to look for and it’s good to have an independent person (decide) because we all get so competitive. It’s a good thing.”

Indication on Jake Virtanen is bruised shoulder. Should miss only a few days.

Still, even missing just a few days, and therefore a few games, sucks for Virtanen. He needs every chance to prove himself, and you can’t really do that with an injured shoulder.

May 2014 - The Calgary Hitmen announced on Thursday that forward Jake Virtanen underwent successful shoulder surgery and is expected to be out of action for four to six months.
