Would love to see Burka gone. He is dead weight. Worse than dead weight. He is not just a non factor, he is a negative factor. He is SO SOFT on the puck. Even if his O skills would wake up, he still just a breakaway lone gun kind of asset. He just can't hold on to the puck when ANY pressure is on him. His board battles are ridiculous. I would rather see Hagelin on the 3rd line and Burka gone. We have several guys I would rather see on the 3/4 lines than Burky. Jaskin, hell even DSP is a better 4th line guy than Burky. I'd take any of Jaskin, Dowd, Stepho, Boyd, before Burka. With Hagelin's speed, I'd move him to line 3 (he IS a LW) and have Jaskin/Dowd/Boyd/Stephenson on line four. Or if you want, move Boyd or Stepho up to Line 3 and leave Hagelin on 4th line. but I'd like to see him on the 3rd line. I think Boyd/Dowd/Jaskin is a decent 4th line. Swap Boyd/Dowd at C if you like....or swap out Stepho, but I'm okay with any of them
IF Hagelin was brought in specifically to replace Burky, and we have plans to actually move him, then extra BRAVO to GMBM.
I realize his trade value is nothing, but he is a waste of a roster spot on the 3/4 lines. Total waste.
Ship him off to a team that really needs a sniper and could utilize him, and get a draft pick back or bag of old pucks or something. (small bag of old pucks) :snicker:
My only other thought is the Caps are holding onto Burka just to keep him out of the hands of an opponent for the playoffs.

The main target has been mentioned would be MoJo (who would be a massive upgrade to Bura, like I said before we traded him), The issue is not only his price going up (way more than the 3rd GMBetaMale got for him), but cluster fuck our salary cap is in, (Mojo makes 1 and chance more).
Another is Simmons, but I don’t see Philly taking Bura for him.
McQuaid is the one I’ve wanted for a while, but he isn’t the type of player Monumental likes
DC_1908:
Brassard, (though I’d prefer Shehann), would also be a good move for Bura. He’s awesome on faceoffs and could move Eller or Kuzy out to LW/RW and fortify the PK
Sorry, anyone who thinks we don’t need help at center other than Nick, Dowd, and Boyd. . . We’re last in the NHL in faceoffs, a pathetic PK, and TJ Oshie is taking faceoffs too. Whatever stats Kuzy and Keller get, it ain’t enough to make up for that
DC_1908:
Will scratch Brassard, he’s off to the Avs for a 3rd 😡
