Peter Tessier: Is Burmistov on the Move? The latest news out of Winnipeg suggests that Alexander Burmistrov does not want to stay a Jet.

I'd like the Oilers to take a chance on this kid. We have so many open spots that he could go anywhere from 1 line center to 4th line RW.

Keep your paws off, you guys can have Miller, we would like this guy!
That being said I also heard the asking price was very high and therefore he stayed...

Maybe it comes down significantly this year

It's going to be an interesting scenario and I would imagine a few suitors but the price will have to come down.

At the draft there could be quite a few teams that miss out on their player that decide to trade for him instead. Would WPG take picks straight up?

Can they just Can Noel and get on with it?? Guy is a horrible coach IMO.

I wonder if the obvious smart move is call up Snow and make a Burmistov for Nino swap.

Fire Noel. Hire AV

could he go to the sabres?

Burmi for Erat.

Burmistrov, Bogosian, and a 1st for Ovechkin and (Schultz, Erskine, or Hillen). The Caps need a culture change.

trade him to edmonton and we'll see if he can find anything with yakupov.

Why would the Oilers want him, hes not the type that they need...Wings should take a shot at him

Not what the Oilers need at all.

We don't want Miller....for the millionth time!

he's not at the level where he can request a trade, so he's tarnishing his name that being said, and hate to say it, but i can see why young players would get bored in Winnipeg, Kane would have left too, but he was wise enough to realize that would have been a tough stain to erase on his resume, is it a shock that Buff wants out too?

even though Phoenix is a terrible hockey market, its still PHOENIX! (stuff to do), same goes for the Isles before this season even when things were terrible its still N.Y.C., the southern teams with no fanbases have at least nice weather going for em...etc..

comparatively Winnipeg doesnt have much going for it if the team isnt winning....i'm not saying this to hate, but this kind of stuff shouldnt shock fans too much is all....its a case of 'sad but true'

this is likely gonna keep happening with non-canadian players......sad but true

Burmistrov will get his trade but he'll only have one more chance to prove himself, after that he'll have the KHL

I don't understand why we don't need a bigger forward that plays wing and center, hits, plays PK and has a decent FO% for a young player. We have about 8 potential open spots on this club up front and he doesn't fit in one?

To Burmi's credit he hasn't come out and said anything. The report is simply hearsay or sources. He is a 21 yr old who was rushed to early into the NHL by Atlanta. He should have had further seasoning in Junior or the AHL.

I have every confidence that Chevy will be looking at the big picture. There are lots of UFA's and RFA's on the Jets and there are also lots of teams looking to make moves with the salary cap in mind. The Jets roster is going to look a lot different next season and I really hope that Burmi is a part of it.

One piece missing from the Lawless column is what Burmi is looking for in a new contract. If he is going to be offered a contract with a lower base and lots of incentive clauses that could be tough to swallow if he isn't going to be given the opportunity to achieve them.

If it was up to me I would rather see Noel go than Burmi, especially now that AV is available and would look real good back behind the bench at the MTS Centre!

I think you are taking things way out of context. Burmistrov is more about playing time. From what I've heard, Buff hasn't said he's wanted out and a few fans are mad at his conditioning and game to game effort.

hmm i hope so....if its playing time they should trade him to say Columbus or Phoenix then

i just think that being a young Russian NHLer he should come out and be clear about his intentions/reasoning early to avoid all these allegations, especially since its been since March that he's been asking for a trade apparently

please tell me you are joking?

Why two players that are/were unhappy. Similar draft pedigree from the same year.


Such a far fetched deal I know.

Jordan Schroeder & David Booth for Burmistrov and a 2nd round pick.
