Burrows should only have 4 more games as a canuck in his career 4th line plugs are not needed at his age or contract

I am so tired of hearing we need this player and that player because they are good dressing room guys.... good mentors etc.... We don't need a team full of dressing room guys.... WE need a team full of guys that contribute on the ice. See you Burrows. Nothing personal . Its business. Trump style - YOUR FIRED >

Best player to ever having come out of the ECHL ? Wow, amazing career. Too bad it has to end like this.... Not many NHL players get to choose how they end their careers....

I have 4.5 million reasons Burrows should not be on the CANUCKS next year. Nothing personal. Just a business move. Contract buyout this summer.

Maybe it was also something to do with you calling other posters unintelligent - because they had a different opinion than you.. Or maybe when you called others posters - Dumb.

Big spender LOL. I would prefer to get value from all our players contracts. My scottish background i guess LOL>

Not sure. I thought the buyout window was June 15th to June 30th.....

Burrows is getting 4th line pts this year. At 4.5 mil per he is ready for salary buyout.

Thanks, i appreciate your support. I don't even agree with everything i post...... LOL I also support free speech and allowing posters to express diverse opinions....

How about just locking danjr out from the thread...... /

Do you really think 16 pts is acceptable for a 4.5 mil second line forward. Wow. Good thing you aren't coaching our team.

I hope you are not correct. But you may be right. I am hoping we could trade him but pay 50 % of his salary.... Just to clear up space for our new young players...

Maybe the issue is Burrows putting up 3rd line points while being paid a first line salary of 4.5 mil. Burrows had a great career with the Canucks. HIs locker gets cleaned out this summer and reassigned to Gaunce.

Players earn the right for more icetime and top line. If Burrows is on the turd line it is because the coach feels that is the icetime / linemates he deserves.... If Burrows is pissed about it , he can always go for coffee with Vrbata and they can have a bitch fest about willie and his favourites.. LOL Bottom line. Burrows is AHL material now. He is about to get HIgginized, Prusturated..

I don't want a 4.5 mil guy on my 3rd or 4th line period. I think the real question would be Burrows ? Does Utica really need him ?

Heh, buddy. You must have some pretty low self esteem. All you ever seem to do is personally insult other posters. Do you really feel so insecure that you have to call others " Idiots" because they have an opinion you don't agree with. When a 4.5 million dollar player gets an assist every 5th gam on average - do you consider that a major accomplishment ? Burrows is a washed up veteran player ( 15 pts this year ) , likely out of the NHL either this summer or next Sept. The trend lately is for teams to ice lineups with lower paid new players, not 4.5 million dollar salary plugs.

Burrows should be in Utica but i am don't think he could crack their lineup.... Would be great on the AHL roadtrips. 4.5 mil should buy the boys a few rounds for on the bus trips.

Are you kidding ? Canucks have paid Burrows close to 30 million dollars..... U think our club owes Burrows anything ? 30 MILLION DOLLARS for playing hockey. I know guys that have played rugby for 20 years and done it for free. Banged up their bodies... Life long injuries as a result... All fo the Love of the game. Wow, Burrows owes us 4.5 million for this season. He needs to produce like a 4.5 mil dollar player or else he will be shown the door. 10 goals is not enough. Not nearly enough.

Burrows would even probably admit that this season has been a disaster for him. 10 goal - 20 point season is not what he was aiming for. 4.5 mil per season is a waste of cap space for a 10 goal scorer.. I think Burrows owes the canucks about 4.5 mil this year. He hasn't really earned it.

Agreed. There is zero loyalty in pro sports. The minute there is a better or cheaper option, that player will be shown the door. Hell, its even that way in Jr A and WHL. Players are commodities / piece of meat. Teams owe players nothing. So your having a bad month, down in dumps, sick, injured, GF problems.... Too bad so sad, Your fired. Canucks owe Burrows ZERO. Burrows owes his personal wealth and his whole career to the CANUCKS. The fact that Burrows has been a great canuck can be appreciated and respected.... but at the end of day pro spots is always what have you done for us today.... If Burrows can't find his game asap, he will be Higginized. Prusturated , WEBercized......

My team for next year is actually geared to win in the 2020 season. My team for next year is all about developing a young core. We don't need Burrows and his 4 mil per year . He can't look after our younger players and he does not give us anything that the young guns can't provide.

Canucks are now funding a well paid retirement home in NY state. . I think its called Utica. We send all our seniors there now. They have a hockey team full of young kids and older seniors. Sounds like fun. Our seniors still get paid and they are paid extremely well so don't worry about them. Burrows will be sent their quick and another guy Cracknell is also on the way.

Tanking will not be easy for some Canuck fans...

True Canuck fans care more about our club than any one player on it. Do you not think that Iginla was loved in Calgary ? Do you think fans really wanted him to be traded ? It had to happen. Its a business. Hank and Danny may not agree to a move with their current contract. They earned that contract. After the contract expires, anything is possible though. Retirement is a real possibility.
