St. Louis just got a 2017 1st, + further additional picks, plus Zach Sanford, plus Brad Malone Washington gets Shattenkirk That is a SHYT TONNE to give up for a rental Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's average .6 PPG so he's an offensive guy but man..... that's a helluva lot to give up. He already turned down $7Mill / year I think I read. If he's not lights out for Washington this playoff then they'll likely let him go to free agency .... just wow I'm going to bed soon and hope I wake up to a trade involving some more juicy returns for us.

There's 2 sides to this really. 1) You have the short term: each team's current situation and whether or not the team making "smart" decisions in terms of trades. Any trade from this perspective can turn out good or bad in the long term, but that doesn't matter as it's all about "potential". Dahlen may not be in the NHL right now but he has good potential to be in the NHL and that's all that matters with the short term. 2) You have the long term as you're talking about. Will Dahlen make it into the NHL and stick around? That's where we can look at things from a hindsight perspective later on and see if long term is was a good deal. So, to say we "won't know who won the trade", it really depends on how you're looking at the trade. Neither perspective is wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salacious Crumb Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 55 minutes ago, LaBamba said: There should be Zero debate about acquiring this prospect. You see people talk about his size, skating, ect like it's this burden or something. The fact that we have something tangible in return for a player who many though would fetch a 3rd is astonishing. Skating is the least of my worries. It is by far the most correctable deficiency in a player. remember how painfully slow Gaunce was?! Even Horvat sucked at skating and now they fly. I am so pleased with this trade that I don't even care if we do nothing else. It's one of the most refreshing things to happen to this franchise in a while. Benning can stay now. @LaBamba. @kingofsurrey and @CanadianRugby all positive on the same day. I am drinking vodka to smooth Burrs loss but if @combover says something good about JB today I might be convinced that doing all those psychedelics back in the '80's finally produced a flashback.

BenDrinkin Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 Burrows was an awesome Canuck and I hope he continues to do well over there. As someone pointed out, it'll be fun to watch him mess with the Leafs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hearditall Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 Burrows filled a big role & not saying Lebate is Burrows but I'm guessing Lebate should be a regular now. He does bring something that no other player on our current Roster brings... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Naslund Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 From the perspective that Burrows should have fetched nothing more than a 3rd round pick at best, getting Dahlin for him is nothing short of a MAJOR win for us, regardless of if he makes it to the NHL. Simply because, at this time we turned an asset which should have very little value (Burrows), into a 19 year old sniper prospect with top 6 potential. The younger kid is more valuable of an asset at the moment. Going to miss Burrows though, go Sens! It shows how much Burrows cares about the Canucks though that he was willing to waive his NTC so the Canucks could get a piece for the future.
