Former 4th Overall Draft Pick Has Threatened His Teams Management After Heated Altercation
Jake Virtanen, a controversial former NHL player, is currently trending once more for his interesting antics.
Tormer fourth-overall�pick�is reportedly close to parting ways with his Swiss-SW league team Visp EHC. However, there are troubling circumstances behind the news.
According to what was previously thought, Virtanen's team has suspended him and placed him on the trade market.
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.

After being accused of alleged *SA* and facing years of legal hearings, Virtanen was only recently proven not guilty. He then made the decision to take his talents to the Swiss League after discovering that no NHL teams were interested in signing him, and that's not going well also..
