Scorvat Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Now i am guilty of wanting Higgins gone. But after thinking more into it, that will be a terrible move on our part. He is by far the best PKer we have. Burrows is a player we should look at trading. To MTL: Burrows (1M retained salary) To VAN: 2ND/3RD frees 3.5 M in cap space going forward and gives us a pick back. Sedin sedin vrbata Baertschi horvat kassian higgins bonino dorsett Not a bad top 9 Plus we would get a FA with the cap space Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwijibo Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Burrows isn't a player Montreal needs. And they don't have the cap space to take him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winter Soldier Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Why are people assuming that Burrows wants to go to Montreal, or that the Habs even want him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goblix Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Burrows is too valuable IMO... Best penalty killer One of the best playoff performers Plays on any line with no complaints Can plays with the Sedin's and produce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.Plow Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Really started appreciating Burrows a lot more when we didn't have him in the Calgary serious. We really missed his grit and style of play in that serious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KariyaSakicAnderson Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Burrows produces more, can play anywhere, is harder to play against, the better pk-er and is a better mentor to the younger players, he embodies what hard work and dedication can get you. Doesn't matter how much Canuck fans think he is over the hill, washed up, he isn't!!!. Every team wants and needs players like him and if he were available all the teams will be inquiring about his services. He's staying! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BI3KSA- Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 With WD possibly wanting to keep Vrbata on the 2nd line, its important for us to have someone else who can actually play well with the Sedins. Burrows is that guy. Add to that that he is one of the only clutch playoffs performers on the team and, Burrows > Higgins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nuxfanabroad Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 To Pitt: Burrows(retain 1.5 mill), Bonino, Kassian, 2015 1st(about 6.6 mill, total)Van: Sutter, Perron, Pouliot, 2015 2nd(do they have their's?)...(about 8 mill cap hit).We'd have to move another 2~3 mill contract, to do something like this. Yet we'd get the PMD we've long needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gizmo2337 Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Burrows is one of the best of the best on the PK, can score short handed or on the PP. He can play every spot in the line-up, including defence in a pinch. Heck, he can even play goal! He is one of those players that elevates his game at the right moments. He played some monster ice time with Horvat a few times this year and looked deadly dangerous. He may be getting older, but he is now a teacher of how to play the game to the young guys. You don't just trade that for picks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A deal with the New Jersey Devils was done, but Burrows said he didn't want to waive it. Later on, it was said that this never happened t hat Burrows was asked to wavie his NTC, but that's all b.s.

I would like this deal, but I doubt if Pitts would give up Pouliout, they are shedding their older d-man and I think have bigger plans for him. I also think our 1st this year is too valuable to give up right now, this is stacked draft class we can get a great young guy and keep Burrows for his leadership and grit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nuxfanabroad Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 StPat, Similar feelings here..just tired of seeing Burr get shafted by officials. He probably wouldn't take such a league-sanctioned beating, on the team of the 'golden boy'. Heard Pitt's scroungin' for a 1st. Also, they've long had cap issues. Between Letang/Maata..one of them must be back, at least? This is similar to JB's other deals, dealing picks for instant gratification. Haven't seen much of Pouliot, but he sounds like all the rage. Lastly, the other 2 are of the books in 1 year. Re-sign if worthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
