Burrows? Do We Really Need Him?

The main difference between Burrows and half the current roster is that he is genuinely passionate about playing for this team and is excited when a difference is made, by him or by others. His career was raised here and the memories he's made in this jersey will never be forgotten. He's willing to do the bitch work in order to have this team succeed, but he has regressed due to age. That much is undeniable. He's on top of his game as far as effort is concerned, but we'll never see him in 2011 form again.

I'm not going to 'can it' because you refuse to acknowledge the process of ageing. Block me if you wish, there are plenty of optimists on here to keep you satisfied.

He's a smart player and understands the game very well. In particular, he's willing to do what it takes to win, including going to the net and take a beating if it means a chance to get a goal.

Yes he's lost a step but unfortunately the team doesn't have many guys with his game. 6-8 months ago I would have said he should be moved, but watching the team this season I think we'd be better-served moving a couple others first until we get a replacement that brings what he does.

I said in the summer he'd hit 20 goals and 15 assists. Still definitely believe we should be moving fringe veterans, because 4.5 million for a few more years for a guy who looks most comfortable in a bottom six role is not smart.

If only moving NTC players was that easy.

I'd say we fans all sorta' live vicariously through the amazing Burr.

I mean, the guy wasn't drafted, & he was landscaping(spare bucks) ferGawdsakes! He's the proverbial 6-49 winner who gets to endlessly share his fortune with the most beautiful city in the world.

Now I'm not usually one to hard-sell the hyperbole, but is this the happiest human in the Universe?
