DeNiro Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 3 minutes ago, Hutton Wink said: The rumour lines over the past week have reported that they're more interested in prospects. Probably why a team like Minnesota wasn't a fit. Yea, in his interview today he seemed happy with his picks. He noted he was missing his 5th and 6th though. Might ask for a 5th in a return for Hansen just to have more to work with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I'm saying theres a chance. 5goals in 7 games at the WJC sounds like just what the doctor ordered. Dahlen would be nicely nestled in our top 4 prospects Boeser Demko Juolevi Dahlen Virtanen Gaudette the future isn't looking so bad. Dahlen is way way more than I ever would have expected in return for Burr. I would have taken Lazar as ED bait/insurance. I think Brisebois is in that category too.

GM's are now faced with the reality they have to give up more than they wanted to or miss out on improving they're team for the playoffs Key term "HAVE TO" - because they know that if they don't, someone else will. It all means good news for us. Tear this ship down. Hansen, Miller, possibly even Hutton and/or Edler. Get as many forwards as you can and jumpstart what is a woefully inadequate offensive situation here. This was a good start but strike while the iron is hot!

Because people forget about the sophomore slump almost every single defenseman has. I don't want to give him up, he has far too much potential as we saw in his first year. Next year he will be a 20-30 point pick moving D man. Mark my words. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neko Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 I have never seen him play but watched some videos earlier, he seems to have good speed and hands- that's the plus of being a smaller player. Will he be on Utica next year or continue to play in Sweden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kenhodgejr Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 Happy to see Jim Benning get us a 2016 2nd round pick. That was a really deep draft. I would like to see Hansen land us a higher 2016 F prospect. Maybe first round? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammertime Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 Brisbois is in a murky area for me especially with our D depth I like a lot about his game and his story however at this time he is behind Juolevi Biega Mcneney Pedan Subban I unfortunately wouldn't give him much more than an outside chance of becoming a #7D for us in the next 3 years. A lot can change in 3 years though and I do like the kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been bringing down every partner he's been with this season with his poor puck management and decision making. Benning has to at least question whether last season was the anomaly or this season was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad to see I am not the only one wanting to move him - had a great career but we need to move him while he still can garner us assets!! + to you Dark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlwaysACanuckFan Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 Just wishing all the best of luck to Burrows, the dragon slayer and many many thanks for the years of service. Burr will not be forgotten. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Stetcher, Juolevi and even Tryamkin showing some offensive flair, Hutton would be on my "move if the price is right" list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
