Gurn Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Quicker to do this in a different way Burrows is the 8 th leading scorer playing 3 rd and 4th line minutes and PK What do you want from a guy playing those types of minutes? 10 points behind Hansen, who by the way, is on the top line. People gotta complain . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingofsurrey Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 I don't want a 4.5 mil guy on my 3rd or 4th line period. I think the real question would be Burrows ? Does Utica really need him ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gurn Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Talk to Wilie, maybe he can put the $4.5 mill guy back with the twins and Hansen back to the third line. More to the point, you are crapping on the player even though the coach decides who plays with who. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Burrows is on the turd line it is because the coach feels that is the icetime / linemates he deserves.... If Burrows is pissed about it , he can always go for coffee with Vrbata and they can have a bitch fest about willie and his favourites.. LOL Bottom line. Burrows is AHL material now. He is about to get HIgginized, Prusturated.. Edited February 10, 2016 by kingofsurrey 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which makes perfect sense considering he's 8th in scoring. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or just insert the middle line of your post and your foot into your mouth. You are aware that coaches play players where they think it is best for the team overall? Maybe Willie figures 3rd line ice time will keep Bur fresh so he can continue to be an excellent pk'er? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you expect him to lead the team in scoring, while playing 3rd line minutes and first line pk? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me it sounds like you're saying 8th in scoring is an accomplishment to be hold when it isn't really considering 8th is numerically on the the third line where he is playing. imo he isn't capable of playing in the top six on a consistent basis anymore.

Theres a reason he's on the third line and he should be a line lower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I don't think he is first line stuff anymore, but I'm not booting him off the team or jumping up and down and lighting my hair on fire because the guy is on the 3rd line putting up, gasp, 3rd line points, while being a leading penalty killer.

kingofsurrey Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Maybe the issue is Burrows putting up 3rd line points while being paid a first line salary of 4.5 mil. Burrows had a great career with the Canucks. HIs locker gets cleaned out this summer and reassigned to Gaunce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming that you think he can't be traded, Burr would have to be bought out or waived to Utica. If he goes to Utica, very little of his salary comes off the Canuck salary cap which is a big problem for next season. I doubt the owner will want to buy out Bur, as he already has to buy out Higgy. That's 7M thrown away and then fans will want him to spend another 7M on UFAs. He only has a year left on his contract, so I think they keep him with the Canucks.

But you may be right. I am hoping we could trade him but pay 50 % of his salary.... Just to clear up space for our new young players... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure he has something to contribute to the right team and at the right price if he is willing to be traded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burrows had a great career with the Canucks. HIs locker gets cleaned out this summer and reassigned to Gaunce. His salary puts him on the second line of 20 teams. He would be putting up second line points if he was played there, and for short periods could relieve up with the twins. Willie though has decided it is better for the team to play Burrows down the line up and use him as a penalty killer. Willie is most likely right to do that, otherwise one of the young folk has to eat hard pk time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danjr Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Gah some of you are so unintelligent. You can't count D-men as forward scoring depth, how dumb can you get. So that makes Burrows 7th, just a few points short of 6th. And if you can do the math.....oooops yea let me do it for you. That is almost top two lines material. Now if you could extrapolate how many of his minutes are lost due to being on the ice and killing penalties. Well dosh garn he would probably be firmly in second line territory. Can we close this thread until the start of next season? Some of the responses just need to be thought on a little longer before posting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
