Paying a guy worth a 5x5 a 7x7 is a recipe for disaster.

Burakovsky is a lot better than 5×5 imo

I think he’s a 6 x 5.9 type of guy

Maybe 7 is high, but be shocked if he's under 6

Hes been healthy scratched in the playoffs, he hasn't been good in either rounds so far. Hes a 2nd line guy. Buchnevich signed for 5.8m and he is better than Bura
You should be able to get him under 6. Dont see the avs brining him back

We're not really in the market for a goalie prospect, and we certainly don't need second-round draft picks, so we won't be trading our best young RD for that package. We'd move Sean Walker, Jordan Spence and Helge Grans before trading Matt Roy or even Sean Durzi.

Echo @csick and @coga16 on Burakovsky value. Imo if you are going to sign Burakovsky you need to put him with a pass first center and feed him, I think a team like NJ is a better fit.

Stutzle is a pass first centre

OTT should not even pick up the phone if his agent calls, he is Dadonov 2.0 easy pass on Burakovsky, André

Think Burakovsky is being overpaid by just 500K per year, I think he'll get a 6.5x6 this year

I literally framed this trade off of your comments on my last post, where you said you'd ask for two 2nds.

Close, but what I said was "your next two seconds." There's a huge difference between pick #39 and picks #62, #63 or #64.

Well sure, that's an easy swap to make. I just sort of fat thumb the picks. I don't really worry much about which one is which
