Gaudette Celly Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 1 minute ago, hammertime said: 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. 1. Waivers don't work that way -- Ottawa could just reclaim him. 2. He has another year on his contract. 3. We'd have another $1.5mil of cap used even if in Utica. I don't get it, aren't we trying to rebuild and move this team FORWARD? Haven't fans been wailing and crying for a rebuild, now it's come to this?

His mess ups are really bad to watch but overall I like his compete level, he is trying out there. I still think there will be a decent trade market for him next year if we are out of play off contention. Hell, if Brandon Davidson can get Edmonton a 3rd round pick MDZ can get us that at the very least. Good contract with good term. Very tradable. But I don't think Green wants him traded, so I doubt he goes this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redhdlois Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Too bad he has another year on his contract..........we could have signed him to a one day contract so he could retire a Canuck. As for mentoring the youth........after that knee to the head and suspension, I lost some respect for him. Fiery French Canadian blood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only way I’d be down for Burrows back is if we got a draft pick or prospect coming back. Boston just gave up more to move Beleskey. Like maybe once Burrows clears make a trade of Burrows and a 2nd for a 5th rounder. Obviously that might not be the perfect value but something along those lines. It’s not very often you can take on a cap dump that’s already treasured in the organization. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweathog Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Makes no sense to claim Burrows. Let a playoff team claim him so he has a chance at a cup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't fans been wailing and crying for a rebuild, now it's come to this? I don't think Burr would be a cap issue tho. They could swallow it if they got some decent picks in return. I know what you're saying about re-entry waivers tho, if we called him up he would have to go through them again. I'd rather keep him in Utica this year to help with the playoff push. Next year i'd keep him down there in a mentorship role. I still remember how important Mike Keane was to Manitoba and it's players back then. He was an ex stanly cup champ from Dallas, he was I think 38 when he joined them and played till 42ish I think, a good 4-5 years of mentoring our guys down there. He mentored guys like Burr, Kes, Bieksa, Schnieder, Edler...on and on. Burrows can be like this for us in Utica. He would be instrumental in seasoning our new influx of youth coming in next year and prepping them for the big time. Then at the end of next season, call him up for a few scratch games and retire him properly. Unviel the bronze stature of him firing the arrow at the front entrance of Rogers arena. Everyone crys and hugs, then moves on to the NEW CANUCKS ERA! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rush17 Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Claim him Jim!! Bring him back baby! Then flip him with a 7th rounder to a contender for a worthless asset. Get him on a good team! I'd love to have him back here too. Omg bring him back. Future Canucks captain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilentSam Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Ottawa is on the Tank.. seems they don’t have a plan.. melting it down .. that dressing room must be awfully gloomy. Get the sense that the players have realized this at the half season mark.. perhaps some good reclamation projects there. Excluding Burrows. Didnt they give away a ton of picks last season.? if so, that’s stinky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Per CapFriendly, Canucks deadline cap space expressed in full salary is 2.26M. your info differs from mine canucks have 5.8 million in available cap space which is why many were arguing they have room to take on a bad contract http://www.spotrac.com/nhl/vancouver-canucks/cap/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't fans been wailing and crying for a rebuild, now it's come to this? Yes I'm aware of all this I'm saying if he clears! Since the Sedins are coming back next year will be another tank job anyway. Squeeze Dorian for say a 4th to take him off their hands. Leave Burr in Utica mentoring the yute and call him up at the end of next season for a waive off. The aquatic hombres would make their money back in Burrchendise alone.

If Ottawa traded him to us with a decent pick for Hutton I'd consider it but I can't see Ottawa moving picks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
