You don't think Hutton is top 4? I would have to disagree with that.
- docmorgan


I don't think he's top-4 for at least another year or so. He makes a lot of defensive mistakes. Definitely got top 4 upside though

Tallon has stated he will not pursue any rentals or pending UFA's

How about Higgins and Burrows? Both have another year after this?

I think Higgins stays in Utica for the rest of his contract, and Burrows unfortunately plays out his last year.

Higgins will be bought out

Burrows whether they play him or buy him out will cost the Canucks 3 mil. It will come down to whether they try to land a big fish and need his cap space

I was being sarcastic buddy. I know Higgins is done. The only way we can see him move is at draft. That is if JB wants to move up a few spots in the later rounds he can send the pick and Higgins for a few spots earlier pick.
Burrows, unfortunately has no value to any other team but ours. He cant score, his speed is off and his cap hit is brutal. The only team that would be interested are teams that are trying to get to the cap floor and I don't see that being and issue this off season. With the shrinking CAD and cap not rising a lot, there will be a lot of better players available for dirt cheap as a cap dump.
I personally would like Burr to be in Utica. He has the feel good story and can inspire the youngens to work harder. Undrafted player working his ass off to get a contract and then playing with arguably the best duo top line teammates is an inspiring story to any kid trying to make it. His work ethic and passion is still there. Too bad his body is not.
As for D movement to make space, I am not sure on this but I think Hutton and Biega would both need to clear waivers to be sent down. At this point the best bet would be to send either JM or JV to Jr or Cracknel to Utica and expose him.
In the good old days of Gilman, there was always someone waiting to go on LTIR when a players was coming back. Raymnod, Ballard, Manny...

Maybe it's time for Burrows to sit out and get some season ending surgery.

I'm hoping Chia re-signs him. Been pleasantly suprised by the quality of his play.

How about Hank taking one for the team and shutting it down for the rest of the season? Top 5 pick Cap issues resolved Chance to see different scenerios with Bo and JM Miller gets no offensive help and gets frustrated with all the rain and asks for a trade to Phoenix Takes his buddy Vrabata to Phoenix Hamius does not like that he is paired with Weber every game and wants out to play with real NHL defenders.

to be fair, if it was marchand it would be 50 too. Multiple offenders/pests get the short stick

Benning said they are going all in to make the playoffs. When I see him taking on players instead of dumping them, then I might believe him.
