Gotta play for it, I am thinking long term as well, The thing is that Vey does not look like a future anything right now, didn't work out as a King and invisible in most games as a Canucks. Dorsett does not have the virsitility Burrows has and now with Tryamkin, Pedan, and Virtanen in the line up, Dorsett's grit is not as important as last year. Kenins, and Grenier haven't been called up most of the year even when the Canucks went through an injury riddled season so it tells you how much of thiese guys the brass actually think of them.
As for McCann and Gaunce, these two players have a better potential to get us a return that can help the team right away than a 35 year old vet with a 4.5 million dollar cap hit. So McCann and Gaunce make for better barganing chips at the trade table. If not traded McCann needs a yeat in Utica for better developement. There is absolutely room for Burrows.
