. . . I would say better late than never, but one or two years ago we’d of got a hell of a lot more.
Hell Im surprised they even traded him
zerofox:
GOOD FUCKING RIDDANCE. I wouldn't be surprised if Bura has a solid career elsewhere but he was hot garbage with us. Got tiring waiting for him to show up. The one time he did show up was when he scored 2 goals vs TB in the playoffs last year. One game he showed up.
Guys like Dowd and Boyd, who played 4th line minutes, actually scored at a higher rate than 3rd line and occasional top 6 Bura.
Bura = 25 points in 76 games
Dowd = 22 points in 64 games
Boyd = 20 points in 53 games
That is not a good sign for a 1st round pick who supposedly has a high ceiling. That plus Vrana soared to higher heights than Bura ever did, in a fraction of the time. Good riddance.

Oh thank God. WAYYYYYYY overdue, but glad to see him go. I don't wish ill on the kid, but definitely glad to be rid of him. I was terrified Caps would WAY OVERPAY him and be stuck with his horrible contract for years. Bad enough to suffer with his play at a reasonable price. Can only imagine how I'd feel paying him more.
(talking about Burka, BTW)
I'd have taken a bag of used pucks for him, so getting a pick, ANY pick, is better than signing him again. I'm sure if we had the cap space he'd still be haunting our bench/ice/locker room for years to come.
Way to Go GMBM
Now sign Vranna
and find a decent dman to fill Orpik's shoes (good luck there)
Go Caps
Mickstix:
Yea, I wish no ill will on the kid.. He needs to get with a coach who doesn't allow him to play soft.. He's got the size and skill, just needs the balls.
