Former 4th Overall Pick Threatens His Teams Management After a Heated Altercation
A former, and controversial NHL player by the name of Jake Virtanen has now trended once again for interesting antics.
According to reports former 4th overall pick Jake Virtanen is about to be done with his team Visp EHC in the Swiss-SW league, but troubling reasoning is surrounding the report.
Virtanen has actually been suspended and now put onto the trade block by his team, as reported.
According to Swiss Hockey News, «it was his selfish attitude that irritated his teammates and forced the management to make him available on the market a week before the start of the playoffs.»
Adding to the report, Le Nouvelliste's Christophe Spahr wrote that it stems from a «heated altercation with Daniel Eigenmann.» Here's more of Spahr's report:
The defender (Eigenmann) allegedly criticized him for not putting himself at the service of the team. From there, coach Marco Schüpbach suspended him internally. Jake Virtanen has not played the last two meetings that Visp, moreover, has won.
Despite his 25 points in 21 games, Jake Virtanen had not shown until then an irreproachable commitment on the ice, nor an exceptional motivation for the Swiss League.
Le Martin reported that Egenmann went, on behalf of his teammates, to management saying «it's him or us.» Said Zach Lain of Oilersnation, referencing the teams own quotes.
Virtanen was blacklisted by the NHL years ago for being charged with alleged *SA*, the court case went on for years and just last year he was found not guilty, where he then decided to take his talents to the Swiss League after finding no teams found interest in Viratanen in the NHL.
