He turns 20, 11 days before his eligibility expires to join the AHL next year so he's a plug n play kid for the farm this year which is a MASSIVE plus as it speeds up the rebuild. 

This doesn't mean anything. He wasn't drafted out of the CHL, therefore, he could play in the AHL at any time.

Thank you Burrows for the great memories you gave us, will definitely tune into Sens games to watch you play, was there to see you slay the dragon, now hopefully you can continue to do so in the East, the Sens are heating up. 

 

Benning what a shrewd move, for awhile there you lost some of us, but oh man, you brought some excitement to an otherwise dreary Canucks day.

Wonder how this changes our draft strategy.

 

Will we take a smaller skilled center now or go for the big winger?

There are some nice centres from the 3rd to 12th positions this year. We should be able to snatch one of them.

Yeah I would go with a centre. Size is not that huge a factor right now.

While it's a good trade, some perspective here.

 

Button doesn't even have him on his Top 50 outside the NHL list, meaning he considers him below Boeser, Juolevi and Gaudette. Also he has him as Ottawa's 5th best prospect outside the NHL. This could end up being a great trade but maybe need to temper expectations and not expect the next Naslund or something.

Burrows will be 36 in a month.

 

He'll be 38 at the end of the contract with Ottawa.

 

 

I'd say he did OK for an undrafted ECHL callup. Good on him, good for him, good for us in the return.

 

Go Ottawa Go.

 

 

Damn rights he did well. Goes to show if you have the heart and drive to make it to the show. Good things will happen. Gonna miss my fav player. So much respect for my man Burr. He knows what this team means to him and he knows he can help get them back to where they want to be by trading him. He just made my decision on what is a must game to attend next year.

I'd have been thrilled with a second, which most likely would have been a late one,  so this is both a trade forward of a year and a trade up to a higher pick than could be expected from a playoff team.

Great deal really for a player that fits nicely and is a year closer to ready.

Couldn't have asked more.

 

Burrows delivers in the clutch yet again

 

This!

 

Hopefully we will be thanking Burrows for years to come.

Burrows was arguably one game 7 away from being a Conn Smyth winner.   Teams remember that.   If Ottawa can get 3 playoff performances out of Burrows this trade will look better for them (or even 1 good playoff push). 

Burrows has a proven history of being a playoff performer,  Hansen does not.   Don't be too surprised if Hansen doesn't get back a better return than a 2nd rounder.

 

And lets acknowledge that this is what Dahlen is - a 2nd round pick.  Its not the giant robbery that everybody thinks it is.   Heck 24 hours ago I bet 95% of the people on this board didn't even know who Dahlen was.   Now all the sudden he's the next greatest thing since sliced bread.  Typical overhype of prospects here in Vancouver. 

 

Don't miss read me. I like this trade.  But lets just see it as a 2nd round pick for now, and expect something similar for Hansen.   

Except that was almost 6 years ago.

 

Love Burrows but he has been trending downwards for some time. I don't think he has that kind of performance left in him.

Ottawa didn't have a second round pick this year to give, so this is as close it gets (Dahlen was a 2nd round pick for them last year).

 

I like to think this is Burrows last gift for us Canucks fans.
