caps may think about it if 50% is retained otherwise it just wont work

No way we trade a top 6 winger, very solid D prospect, and very promising goalie prospect for a backup and a cap dump contract. No interest in Burns and not really interested in Kahkonen

Also no chance Roy signs that, he's worth 3.5-4.5 mil for that amount of term.

Then that pick jumps to Winnipeg's 2nd in 2022

And that 1st trade is horrible

yeah at that point we decline thats too much dadonov and we caps fans do love eller. maybe its just me idk

Cool were in the same boat! sharks don't consider either. Kahkonen is our starter next year and burns is our best D by a mile.

With the direction San Jose should be going (rebuild), they would be pretty dumb to pass on dumping Burns at 8 mil and gaining some really solid pieces to build a team on

why on earth are we trading for burns

But our management is set on competing now so again why?
Karlsson yes Burns no

Yes it is unfortunate that they want to still be "competitive." Too many albatross contracts imo to be anything but a fringe playoff team, may as well just cut the losses and rebuild the team around guys like Eklund, Bordeleau, Coe, Ferraro and whoever you get in the 1st round of 2022 (I'm thinking one of the high offense LHD like Mintyukov, Korchinski, or Mateychuk)
