You also neglected to list GM's you believe would trade for Alex Burrows rather than wait for him to be bought out if they want him so bad. His NTC is only limited, meaning he'll have to give a list of teams he will/will not accept a trade to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meaning: Hansen has veto power. Armchair CDC GM's sure do love trading players with a NTC. Particularly those who've shown zero indication they've even considered waiving it.

Qwags Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 I don't know about you guys, but I would rather have Burrows play out his final year. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless JB picks up a lot of salary via trade or June 1st it looks like he very well will. One more year of the dragon-slayer - we could do a lot worse on the pk and 4th line. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubbaCHUCK Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 i don't think we should buy him out... still a reliable penalty killer and with sutter on it and the defence we're gonna have, im gonna say canucks will be a top pk team in the league next year.

kenhodgejr Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 It doesn't look like Benning can find a big second line LW'er via trade so it probably makes sense to put Burrows there and let Beartchi develop with less pressure on the third line.

This makes perfect sense as well as lets all the kids ease back into the season and if need be move em up or into the line up (jake. V) it also give burrows the much deserved chance to have at least 1 more shot at high minute opertunities. Who knows for sure what will happen! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MickVega Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 I know it's sacrilege even writing this but after the first few preseason games does anyone else feels like there's just better options than Burr at this moment? Ugh, I feel dirty now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saucypass Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Great guy, great leader, once a great player. Probably going to sit in the press for his last season and use his cap space for salary raised for our RFA's. Just the sad truth for the end of an era.

Fred65 Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Interesting enough Burrows said recently he's healthier than he's been for a long while. Let's see him play a couple of games before we pull the trigger 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kloubek Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 He's older, so perhaps he just needs to shake the rust off a bit longer. I know his stats have been decreasing rapidly, but I still always felt he found ways to get scoring chances. This season, however, he's looked almost invisible. You look at the chances and energy that someone like Gaunce or even Labate or Rendulic bring, and it's hard to understand what place Burrows would have if he doesn't pick it up.

Hairy Kneel Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 One short handed goal in his last four seasons before that he had 16 SH goals definitely lost a step or two.. Not really a body checker and others have taken up with the twins and on the pk. Gaunce is better for the 3rd or 4th line and pk .LaBate hits, Ruutu is playing tougher and can still score. Refs still hate him. Heck Jackman hung em up. Maybe player coach in Utica. Burr would be good for our young guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reyezone Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Burr's lack of foot speed is a bit troubling. Dorsett's saving grace is he can wheel. I see these guys as occupying a similar space- other than the fact that Dorsett appears to enjoy having his face used for a punching bag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems Burr is getting a walk-in judging from Willies post game. He says "Burrows doesn't need to play every night" I read that as saying he is not being assessed. Given how Dorsett plays (whole hearted in yer face gritty) so often I find it a bit rich that Burr who did not perform as well as Dorsett last season gets a free pass yet Dorsett appears to be playing for his place. Willie also seemed to suggest that Stecher, Ruutu, Rodin, Rendulic, LaBate, Gaunce were all well in the running. Where are they all going to fit in?They can't all take Etem's spot.

Isn't that one of the issues with WD - playing (or not playing in this case) favorites? I wonder how the guys in the locker room see WD? Not what they say publicly, but their honest feelings about things. Maybe, we got a peak into how some feel when the Twins spoke out about the rookies last season? Rookies were playing, and maybe they (in the minds of the other players) they didn't deserve it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
