[Trade] Canucks trade Alex Burrows to Senators for Jonathan Dahlen


Recommended Posts

Ottawa is only 2 points behind Montreal for 1st in the Atlantic, with 2 games in hand. (actually have played the least games in the division)

It's conceivable that they could end up winning the division what with all the problems Montreal has had this year.

Burr isn't gonna go in there and pop 20 goals between now and April but a guy like that can give your team a really big boost. Depending on what happens in the next couple days, and going into the playoffs, Burr could find himself in a better position than he maybe thought he would in Ottawa. 

Personally, I hope they go on a run with him. Nobody works harder and deserves it more. All the best Burr!

Knock Toronto out in the first round. :)

The Habs and, to some extent, Leafs have their feet to the fire now, for sure.  Montreal needs to make a significant move, imo.

A little late to the party but man am I every happy with the return that Jim Benning got for Burrows. I was very high on Dahlen before the draft last year and was very impressed with his play at the WJC this year. Good job JB don't let up now you are very quickly building a fantastic group of prospects!! 

  In case anyone missed it the Leafs Nation site is very happy they won't have to face Dahlen in a Senators jersey.

Ya....it was all him huh....

I'm sorry I didn't realize you bought his jersey.

 

Btw....you figure out who Kevin Woodley is yet?

well, he was out for the most of the season last year, and they were one of the worst, he's back and they are near the top.  He takes most of the important draws against the other teams top cmen........seems like a pretty easy equation to put together.

Well they went out and got Benn, but I'm not sure who that helps them. They traded a middling defenceman for another middling defenceman. 

Toronto added Boyle, who has tremendous size, but is slow. And won;t be getting any faster at 32. 

I have always liked Montreal but it's been a gong show there the last while and Ottawa has just kind of flown under the radar and done their thing. Hoping maybe they make another move to address a need so I can cheer on Burr and get behind them as a team - since I'll have to wait till next year again for a Cup in Vancouver, lol

The humourous aspect of this trade is all the chicken littles are now drunk on the idea that JB is going to gut the roster and will get overpayment on every deal.  This could, very well, be the only deal made, regardless of what JB says.

Zoiks, it's a TDL bubble market -- go all in!  Edler for Drouin and a 2nd; Hansen for Sergachev and a 2nd, book it!  Jimmy gon' get payed, y'all!
