BabychStache Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 Preface: There is really no reason for this thread. It is not well thought out. I am only making it because it would be fun, and hockey should be fun. Also we need a RHD. You've been warned. I want Brent Burns in a Canucks Jersey. That big Sasquatch would be really fun to watch on the Canucks alongside Quinn or OEL. Would you do: Myers for Burns ($2m retained)? Money is a wash, but you've got 1 more year of Burns over Myers. Burns possibly to retire as he will only be earning $5M/season for the last 2 years of the deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NUCKER67 Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 I went to a Canucks-Sharks game last year and Burns was awful, and he's old and very expensive. Best days are behind him, like PK Subban. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NUCKER67 Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 Just now, BabychStache said: My bad Nucker67. oh heck no, all good, Burns definitely has size, he's a RD and can contribute, but he's also 37 and makes $8 for the next 3 years. Maybe if we sent Myers and Dickinson the other way and SJ threw in a good prospect or high pick? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrJockitch Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 If we were planning on tanking and we got a first rounder in 2023 out of taking him, would consider it but that is about the only circumstance. ‘They still have him and 5 more years of EK at $11M. Ouch worse than our $13M second pairing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownUndaCanuck Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 Absolutely not, but would consider it if 2M retained and SJS threw in their 1st. For the sake of it, how about Burns 3M retained for Dickinson + Poolman? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pears Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 I’m not touching that contract with his age unless they attach their next two firsts with it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-AJ- Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 He's pretty old, but honestly, still very good. I personally think he can still be a #1 defenseman in the NHL, but at 37 years old, I'm betting that changes pretty darn soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joe-max Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 No. BB is a career -35 despite having played on some great teams. The Canucks need D who can actually defend more than anything. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odjick29willkillyou Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 I am fortunate to work with Burnsey on our local non-profit here in Dallas-Fort Worth and know for a fact that if he is not a Shark, he would prefer to come to Dallas where he would essentially be the perfect replacement for Klingberg at the right cap hit. His huge ranch is about four hours south of Dallas so it makes complete sense. He is a primary ambassador for us and while we are headquartered up in Minnesota (where he started his career), our chapter here in Dallas is the fastest growing in the US. Here he is signing a sweater for last year's silent auction. Great dude! Here is the link with all of the pro athletes and organizations we partner with including BB https://unitedheroesleague.org/players/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timberz21 Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 Honestly, I would prefer we focus on finding the next Devon Toews, rather than chasing a has-been like we did with Myers and OEL. Not a shot a these two, but i'd rather focus on finding someone that complement Hughes like Toews complemented Makar. Someone young enough that can solidify that top pairs for multiples years. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinky-Winky Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 Burns wouldn't wannna come here anyway ....so we dont have anything to worry about 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammertime Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 This thread needs more "Sick Burns". In fact Babych Burns are burning that you'd even suggest this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure a cap crunch team like Tampa can afford to trade cheap players like that, without unloading cap in the process. Question is do we want to take cap back with Foote?
