apollo Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 I would pick him up. 1 more year at 2.5 is fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rekker Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Hmmm. Need to think on this. First reaction is no to picking him up. But leadership and our PK and forecheck game could use him . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhukini Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 No interest in having him for another year. It would take away a spot from Archibald or healthy scratch Goldy more who Is just starting to get going, and we don't need that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Screw the rebuild, let's re-sign the Sedins too. How much to get Hamhuis and Bieksa back? I bet a few picks could get it done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beni Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 If he didnt have that extension. Sure, maybe he would have retired at the end of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanuckGAME Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 I love Burr as much as the next guy but bringing him back isn't the right move for this team moving forward. That ice time should be going to a young player to help their development. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet a few picks could get it done. Cause Burrows is going to help the team win? lol Not like any of those players would move us away from rebuilding. BUT they would help allow the kids to continue developing for a full year in the AHL, which is a good idea. Guess it depends on what you believe the best coarse for the rebuild is.... IMO a full year in the A for Pettersson, Dahlen, Juolevi, Gaudette, Lind, Gadjovich, and Demko together would be the best thing for galvanizing the next group and thereby actually moving the organization forward. Burr is familiar with the group, organization, and city... and its only a year, which is perfect timing for the above strategy. If you honestly think that throwing these kids to the wolves will help speed up the rebuild then go ahead... As Ferraro says, he's still waiting to see how taking time with player development has ruined anyone. Same cant be said for rushing prospects. That being said, it doesnt have to be Burrows to fill that role. Only that I think he'd be a seamless fit for the current group and community.

Even if you wan't to play the listed in the AHL, Goldobin and Jake are both waiver eligible next year, and if Burrows at his current level is a top 12 let alone 13 forward on this team next September, something has gone horribly wrong.

Provost Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 How about helping teach the kids how to be pro’s... which is something we apparently have a problem with (Virtanen and Hutton). For those folks saying he will hamper the kids development, you do realize we are going to have to go out and sign a couple vets this summer as insurance if not enough kids are ready? If a guy can’t beat Burrows out for a 4th line job, they need to be in Utica. If they do beat him out, he is a good choice for a 13th forward since you can’t keep a kid in that spot anyways, they need regular playing minutes not sitting in the press box until needed.

Can't keep up with the pace of today's game anymore and was just waived by a bottom ranked Ottawa team. The Canucks need to move forwards and plucking the Biter off waivers won't help this team at all. This fan base gets so wrapped around the past sometimes.

If nothing budges just send somebody down after the deadline. As for Burrows when he goes unclaimed I’d gladly take on that contract for a pick or prospect. Exactly this. Having Burr in Utica would be worth the cap just to call him up for the last game of the season and watch him retire along side the Sedins.

Attila Umbrus Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 The only way i'd take Burrows on is if he clears waivers, then we go to the Senators and say ya i'll take burrows on and his cap hit...what are you willing to pay for that? 3rd and 4th round pick? Sure i'd do that. Plus Burrows can then go to Utica and help them with their playoff push. Next year he can be waived, no one will pick him up. Send him to the farm to mentor our new influx of young guys. Then call him up at next seasons end to play his last few games as a canuck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Attila Umbrus Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Also i'd put a claim on Oduya, he's a plus player on a bad minus team in Ottawa. Then frees us up to trade Hutton or another Dman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
