If you want to pay CHI to take his contract as a pure dump, I think CHI could be interested in him as a "rehab project". But, if you are looking for a team to pay for him, it is highly unlikely it's gonna be CHI. Think along the lines of when Calgary dumped Monahan on Montreal. You pay us a 1st to assume responsibility for his contract, and if we can replace a few parts and get him running nicely again, we get to turn around and make a profit, and if we can't, at least we were compensated for the bad contract. If Seattle needs the cap space, that is how it's gonna go... unless they can dupe some poor GM into paying for damaged goods.
At his best, I love Burky and think he would be a great top 6 add. But that is a long shot at this point, and is a lot of cash to pay for nothing, if he continues being hurt constantly and playing poorly.
