Burrows back to the Sedim line?

Do you go with the hot hand and play Miller tonight, save him for tomorrow or play him both games and give him a break after?

The #LAKings will only have five defencemen vs. #canucks tomorrow because they are short $160 in cap space to call someone up. What a world.

I'd be curious to see if they can get something going again, Sedins/Burrows. Play Vrbata 2nd line when he returns and 1st unit pp. Or just trade Burrows at tdl.

Really like Burrows but not necessarily his cap hit.

Give Miller the night off to spend with his wife, but no pookie before Sunday's game.

Then the next negotiations the agent says Burrows gets paid 4.5 and he scored 5 goals , Zack had 16 he should be paid 6 mil.

If contracts go to mediation , the mediator takes comparable players to set the standard of the salary.

They're comparable players? Perhaps his agent would like to compare him to the Sedins as well. And perhaps Benning can compare him to Sestito.

Agents will always try to get the best (most) deal for their client, do you think they only compare to players on the same team? I bet we could find a $7m comparison for Bonino but do you think that's what he will earn his next contract? What burrows makes, his cap hit, and his production are mutually exclusive so long as the Canucks spend less than the cap or have players they would like to bring in that would put them over. If there is another player that legitimately pushes Burrows for a roster spot then I'm all for moving him, but I haven't seen anyone that will replace what he brings so pushing him out would be a bad move IMO.

Good question on 1040 today:



Would you trade Bonino for Kesler straight up right now?

- hankthetank

not - i'm glad he is gone. It was all about Kesler. Whining and diving prima donna.

Yeah, we have a little breathing room.

I really should lay off Burr a bit and let him play his game and see if his scoring returns even if he isn't playing with the Sedins. And I guess if the 2nd line is doing well, scoring and not a minus, with him on it then maybe he is part of the formula, making space for his line mates.

I was talking 'lower body' in kindergarten. It might explain why I went to 4 different kindergartens in one year.

Unless you attended kindergarten on a porno set, that is unacceptable language.
