Jake Virtanen, our 68th ranked left wing, is best suited to be a depth backup. We project he will end up with the Columbus Blue Jackets because they could use a player of this quality to play left wing. The Blue Jackets currently have only 0 healthy left wings, and none are rated better than Virtanen.
The Blue Jackets currently have no left wings under contract beyond the 2027 season, so Virtanen could see a potential long term contract with the team.
