Replying in order: I'm sending Bura away because in my watching him, he hasn't really improved all that much over the last 2 seasons. His value in my opinion is at the highest it will be and we were playing him on the 3rd or 4th line.
I could see that people may not think Burakovsky and Connolly are together worth the 10th overall, but Connolly just had a very good year, Burakovsky has played and meshed well with McDavid before, so Edmonton's GM may think that it it worth that shot considering they desperately need to retool their offense AND defense.
I don't know if you were watching the playoffs but Orpik was used sparingly the entire playoffs. He played well, but at 37, he's not going to be getting better or faster. He was a human pylon for most of the season. It is time to let go in any way possible.
I agree with keep Vrana! He was outstanding and has only gotten better over the course of the season. He should have a permanent place in the top 6.
