0 points in his last 14 playoff games
His career numbers in the playoffs aren't great either. I wouldn't bank on him performing like a top 6 player in the playoffs.
no, not everyone. It was a huge risk acquiring booth given his concussion history. Oddly enough his injuries with us are not concussion related. It was a cap dump for Florida, they even threw in a 4th rounder and we got stuck with contact
If we can sign him for 1-1.5 mill, I wouldn't mind since he is capable of playing any forward position. But we should get rid booth and either one of Higgins or Hansen. That way we can save some cap space and possibly use that on a top 6 forward.
But I agree that we need to allow some of our prospects to make the team. This team is in need of a youth injection
Yeah, Burke has made alot of crazy moves but he has also made alot of good moves.
Phaneuf + Aulie for basically Ian white
Good package for Kaberle
Lupul and Gardiner for Beauchemin
JVR for Schenn
He also takes alot of heat for the Kessel trade because of what the picks turned out to be. But Kessel is a legit first line winger.
One thing with Burke is that he is not afraid to make a move
lol Luongo was not going to win the conn smythe even if we won. Thomas would need to completely crap the bed in game 7 for that to even have a slim chance of happening. Maybe like 8 goals against.
