Burns actively makes this team worse.

You don't actively watch hockey if you actually think that is true.

Sharks don't do this deal because Burns at $4 million retained plus Foegele's salary doesn't really do much of anything to alleviate the cap pressure while it also makes the team worse in the immediate future.

Sharks accept!

Im all for trading Burns but not retaining half with our cap situation. Burns still has solid value and we could do better but I don't think he'll be on the block this season.

Are you blind or do you not watch hockey?

Burns is a defensive blackhole who is under contract until he turns 40 and he already has injury issues. You're then just spending 4 mil on dead cap. If I want to see my team spend 4 mil on dead cap, I'd look at Jordan Staal's deal.

That’s just not true, you know that Seth Jones guy? Burns was actually miles ahead of him in offensive and defensive metrics this year. Your thinking of Erik Karlsson

Take out the retention and give us a short term cap dump and I think it’s fair

Jones isn't great either. But this 1 year doesn't exuse the fact he signed until he's 40, he's got MAJOR injury issues and he's got no sense of awareness defensively.

You showed yourself to have literally no clue when you said "injury issues" regarding Burns. Guy has not missed a single game in 7 straight seasons. What injury does he have? Just finished top 5 in the league in TOI this year at over 26 minutes a night while playing only 44% offensive zone starts (i.e. shutdown pairing) and being a positive possession player and generating more chances than he allowed by a decent margin.

Like I said, you showed that you have no clue in the first post and doubled down on it with the second. This is lunacy at its finest.

These people are hilarious
