How does a person being paid 2 nd line salary putting up probably 10 goals this year be called useful. I am sure you can find a 20 goal scorer for that price.

I'm actually not sure four and a half mil is 20 goal money anymore

Forget about sentiment , how much different is Dorsetts game from Borrows this year up to now. Now look at the stats and the salary.

I'm not disagreeing with your point, just don't think you can get that kind of player for that price anymore
Edit: and by "that type of player" i mean a top 6 20 goal guy not Burrows

Watch Bonino this yer I bet he gets 20.


I am sure a kid like Jensen might be close to 20 at 1 mil per year but we keep hanging on to these past their prime players like Burr .

Not directed at you, just stating we need to move forward and let go of the past.

Burrows has Assets that no one else on our team posses. If we remove a pest we better bring another one in. I firmly believe every team needs a fukking weasle to be successful.

If Bonino gets 20 then Higgins and Burrows will benefit. None of those three are superstars so they got to play as a unit to succeed. I just hope that Higgins and Burrows don't start breaking down late in the season bringing Bonino down with them.

Yea, the value is right around that ELC/first RFA contract range. Bonino will likely be due for a healthy raise.

With respect to Burr and our other players I think by the TDL we will see whether there are any AHL guys knocking at the door. I don't know what this year's FA class looks like, any notables?

Dorsett can be that guy and a lot cheaper. Burrows was great two years ago but is now 33 and has stopped scoring.

Agreed. Burrows is a great weasle. He's good at it.

Bo is proving maybe he belongs . You need to open roster spots to give them a chance.

Sure, we will see how he does by the end of game 9. Benning should be prepared to pull the trigger the second the moment is right, but until that moment I don't think it helps us to A. move an asset at their lowest value and B. open a hole in our roster without solid reason to believe that someone can fill it

Ode to the Kings

The Stanley Cup Final, where was my rhyme?
So busy celebrating, lost track of all time!
Celebrating..wait? I was troubled, and hexed!
I was hoodwinked, hornswoggled, disillusioned and vexed!
We foundered on the bubble, as the Kings were then seeded!
Well, it was them, or the Hawks all along, we conceded,
The Canucks with their bench boss, were slowly impeded,
82 games worth of anti-depressants were needed!
But, back to the winners, & then the media scoop!
‘Just exactly who was, this Cup winning group?’
“Hello, Justin Brown? Or Dustin? Or Someone? Eh, screw it”
“Dustin, when you scored the touchdown, just how did you do it?”
“At a point in the series, the team was in peril!”
“San Jos.. hey look! Camera pan left to Will Farrell!”
“The Sacremento..er, um, LA Kings left their mark!”
“We should give them a stadium series, near
some grass, in a park!”
“And , Mr Muzzie? Muzzin? Muzzle?..Like muzzle a dog?”
“Let’s pan to a shot, without traffic & smog!”
And ‘Hey get the cameras, when the Cup they do lift!’
While NBC gets their interview! With Jonathan Swift!
The cup runneth over, I’m glad their runs done with,
Our team made some trades, and ones we can run with!
And this rhyme, took some time, the length of my dinner.
So, Let’s swing for the fences, on this Stanley Cup winner
F**k LA, F**k the Kings, F**k the Sharks, & the Ducks!
As I shout a little louder, “Come on! Let’s Go Canucks!”

Love, RH

We said the same thing about moving Burrows last year. We couldn't move hi because his value was too low and we are saying again this year.Some times you need to cut your loses.

I think Burrows has value right now . GMs are not stupid. I don't expect Kopitar back for Burrows but I could see a decent return for Burrows HANSEN to NYR or MTL ?

Sure, move him if there's value (and as GM you think Bo can stick full time)
I think if those circumstances come to pass Benning will act

Nucker said it best today why screw up something that is not broken , BUT , I don't have a problem with leaving Burr on the bench and taking Bo for a test drive.

If no one is playing horrible this year you can sub in Mathias Burr HANSEN Bo Richardson giving them all a game off every 5 or 6 games .

How the hell do you establish chemistry with your line mates when you have different ones every night?

No thanks.

VanCherry just wants to get rid of Burrows and Hansen because they are french and european respectively.

I agree with him when it comes to Hansen. Im fed up with his crap. Burr on the other hand. I think he should stick around.

Wow, Marksrtom with another shutout tonight.

Burrows and Markstrom for....

Jensen scored as well. He seems to be producing fairly regular. Unless we lose a couple of forwards I dont see him getting a shot in the line up any time soon. Not if we are still trying guess who sits when Burrows comes back. Im getting the feeling that will be Horvat.
