Burmistrov would be a better option on the 1st line with the Sedins than megna

 

How so?

 

Megna has everything Burmistrov has imo, and is a right handed shot in addition.

Speed, responsible two way play, decent upside - what makes Burmistrov a better fit?

you are truly misguided

he is being cut by the jets

he will go back to russia

he is the classic russian player all teams now worry about

cannot play the nhl game

but will not go to the ahl to develop so he can

and you think he is better than megna

shows the level of your hockey iq

 

Yes I think he is better than megna 

megna hasn't done anything since he's played on the top line and received pp time 

 

megna 3 points in 21 games

chaput 3 points in 26 games 0 goals 

Gaunce 4 points in 33 games 0 goals 

 

so yes i think a free asset is worth a shot considering that we can send anyone of these three down to help Utica. Non of them are producing at an NHL level

Funny we lose Corrado on waivers folks freak out over asset management. Winnipeg puts a #8 pick on waivers and not a peep from Benning haters. 

 

This is the first thing I thought about as well. People here are STILL angry about Corrado. Winnipeg fans couldn't give two sharts if they lose Burmistrov on waivers.

It isn't like we have anything to lose...

 

Gaunce has been ridiculously underwhelming since pre-season.  We need more speed and skill.

 

I would have no issue with picking him up and giving it a couple months... I also have no issue with not picking him up.

we will also lose an nhl roster spot

which means that another current prospect has to be cut to accommodate this marginal asset

and we'd have to pay his contract of $1.6 million

he is not worth all that
