Canucks' Virtanen on trade market as team looks to

"Here's an apple and a roadmap kid....."

Having had a dismal start to the season thus far, the Vancouver Canucks need a move or two to shake themselves from their stupor almost as much as Jake Virtanen clearly needs a fresh start for another team and another coach.

Canucks confident Jacob Markstrom will return to form in playoff debut
