If you really believe that Trotz is playing Burakovsky because this is what Ted and Dick want I don’t know what to say.  There is no point in discussing it further.  I believe Trotz desperately wants to win a Stanley Cup and he is playing the players he believes gives him the best chance to reach that goal.

Theres really no other reason as to why he would play an under performing defensive liability who has shown effort issues, and has been in Trotzs doghouse over the years, over two or three players that are less mistake prone, more energy, and less risky.


needing offense sans Nick is the only reason, but even without Nick we did far better without Bura.

So who's it gonna be? Chaisson, DSP, or Burt.. That's really the only 3 I can see in the discussion.. Probably could remove DSP as well.. Vrana's not getting scratched.. So, who? My guess is Chaisson..

If it’s Chiasson or DSP  that’s benched, we’re screwed
