Paid - and we've got a long road ahead of us unless we draft really really well.

Thanks for the correction, I'm tired man long day of work and class, spell check has ruined me.

good game, you've got what looks to be a very good up and coming team.

Im speaking of forwards, Burrows is NOT a core player. Like I said, despite what management may think.
- LeftCoaster

Management doesn't think of him as a core player IMO. I fully believe the rumours that he was asked to waive.

Two management groups considered them core , so I am going to turn your comment around and say no matter what you call them Management do call them core.

Well then... So we're not the world beaters the Alberta teams made us look like.

Same core same results.

Garrison, Kesler out.
Miller, Vrbata in.

Then why does the coach fly to meet a secondary player

Not so sure this group considers him core - see Nucker's post

Not enough they needed to go deeper

Then why did WD fly to meet him? Why didn't they waive him and get cap space

I have heard at least two interviews with JB and Trevor saying how it is very important for him and Edler to get back to when they were two years ago

If they truly believe that after 20 games they're in for a long year!! This team needs a serious injection of youth and speed.

Fair point, but Willie probably realized he had to count on Burrows due to lack of depth up front.

Because he'd yet to have seen Burrows play and he likes the European flavour of Montreal

Well he obviously didn't waive so unless he does there isn't much use in calling him a washed up piece of poop In the past he has been a successful player so they wanted to recover some of what was lost but I dont think for a second that they would hesitate to trade him if a deal is in place and he is willing to leave

Willie wanted a little french vanilla.

Easier said than done when he took over a team full of NTC's. Not sure what you realistically expected.

Yup - that's on Gillis for handing him that contract, I don't mind him as a bottom six forward, but not a top six guy at 4.5 million from what I've seen of him in five games. I said last year he looks to have lost a step.
