Do we need him? Only if we need players that play with the passion and determination that he gives on every shift, so in short YES we do need him! The work ethic that Burrows brings game after game cannot be replaced cheaply or easily without taking a chance of undermining the team chemistry that we have right now. If Burrows had of slipped into ufa status he would have been offered far more money from any of the other 29 teams that would give their left testicle to steal a player like him from us. Some CDC posters undervalue our own players, then moan when they sign somewhere else and come back to bite us in the butt. Gillis did a great job extending Burrows before the off-season ufa feeding frenzy priced him out of our reach! Nice to see our own players getting recognized by management for their work ethic and contribution to the team over the years.

This post is the perfect example on why the broadcasting of games should be done in BRAILLE for the blind! It is obvious that this poster is visually impaired and is getting the wrong interpretation of the games that they are listening too! Imagine wanting to cut a player that plays a critical role on one of the better shut down lines in the NHL, while at the same time playing with passion, heart and determination! Oh yeah he hits too! Lets not forget that he can put the puck in the net, as the two goals tonight demonstrate! So please CDC'ers don't roast this person too badly, it is really the fault of the broadcasters for 1. Not broadcasting in Braille ! 2. For sending a different video feed to the poster then the rest of us obviously receive , 3. This is a troll from Toronna, wanting to drum up some trades to help improve the Laffs!! Pardon the sarcasm, but it must have been what this poster was attempting to do, but failed at it big time!!

Only thing subpar about Dave Nonis is that he was not hired by this ownership group. Therefore they had no loyalty towards him, and made him a public whipingboy when the injuries proved to be too much for this team to overcome. How much would anyone bet that even if Nonis had of made a season saving trade at deadline time, but this team bowed out in round 1 due to lack of depth that ownership would have fired him? This time due to lack of foresight re: injuries and lack of depth in the system to cover for said injuries!! My opinion is that whatever Dave Nonis did this year, short of winning the Holy Grail that tey would find some reason to fire him. I fear that the Vancouver Canucks have been taken over by the Vancouver version of the Harold Ballard family, and this club will slink back into mediocrity from where it was being rescued from. Maybe the ownership should look at how real owners run stable organizations, Like Detroit & Montreal to name a couple and resist imitating the Torontos and Chicagos of the NHL... The next GM whoever that may be will be stepping into a far healthier team than Dave Nonis did when he assumed the GM chair, but will be made to look like a genius and therefore the Aquilinis will be geniuses, but all due to the solid foundation that has been laid by a man that was not given his full term to do as he said he would do. And that would be Mr. Nonis. Thanks for all your efforts in building this team properly Dave, best of luck to you and your family in the future. And may you go on to another fortunate NHL team and truly show this short sighted, panic stricken ownership family that they truly Screwed up by not allowing you to finish what you started.. ps: if the next GM in some cheap imitation I hope fans stay away in droves, to protest this rotten treatment of a good man that has done everything he has said he would do. Unfortunately maybe it wasn't in Italian!lol (sarc) Respects
