Burakovsky having surgery
OnlyCaps2:
Trotz says he is done for this series. Will need 'minor' surgery. I fear he is done for the season.

DC would probably claim it's addition by subtraction, especially since Stephenson is the latest fit in his spot.
Unless/until Burakovsky breaks out offensively in a significant way he doesn't add as much value as his puck handling and shooting skills says he should. I understand why the Caps want to hold onto him, though. He has the feel of someone that you give up on and sell for peanuts who subsequently breaks out for his next team.
Maacoshark:
Unfortunate for Burakovsky. Hate to see anyone get injured.
In my opinion it isn't a big deal for the Caps to be without Burakovsky unless we get more injuries.

There's an article today that says that TJ Oshie is obviously playing hurt, but is soldiering through.
If at some point he can't go, then we will need Burakovsky. I don't think Vrana in the top 6 is going to cut it in the playoffs -- not this year.
