Andre Burakovsky’s future with Capitals gets more complicated with every healthy scratch
(https://www.washingtonpost.com/resizer/7XUAK2pHp-kEXAxRIcYAPQAzcsE=/480x0/arc-anglerfish-washpost-prod-washpost.s3.amazonaws.com/public/ELRRH5HZ4UI6RBSCZFYYUJLMXU.jpg)

It was more than 30 minutes into the Washington Capitals’ practice when forward Andre Burakovsky was again relegated from participant to observer. The team ran through its line rushes, a preview of the next game’s likely lineup, while Burakovsky stood off to the side and watched as 12 other forwards took their turn on the ice. There wasn’t a place for him once again, and he is expected to be scratched for a second straight game.

Washington’s oft-injured lineup is getting healthier, and if right wing Tom Wilson plays Friday night against the Carolina Hurricanes after missing three games with a concussion, the team will have its entire forward corps available for just the third time this season. That Burakovsky isn’t currently considered one of the team’s top 12 forwards when everyone is healthy is telling, and this being a contract year the possible ramifications are obvious and don’t need explaining to him.

“I’m not worried about my future,” Burakovsky said. “I know what I can do out there. I think I’ve proven what I can do, and sometimes you just have to battle a little bit harder than you wanted to. That’s going to happen. Right now, it’s kind of what I’m doing, and I’m just going to be positive about this and learn from it and come back strong.”

Here is the Capitals' conundrum with Burakovsky: he’s due to become a restricted free agent at the end of this season, so to retain his negotiating rights, Washington would have to tender him a qualifying offer, at minimum matching his current salary of $3.25 million. But with how Burakovsky’s production has steadily declined over the past three seasons, the team might not want to continue paying him that much,

If the Capitals don’t qualify him, he can become an unrestricted free agent July 1, which could leave Washington losing an asset that was the organization’s 2013 first-round pick, for nothing in return. General Manager Brian MacLellan could choose to trade Burakovsky before the late February deadline, but he’d be selling low with any potential return on a fast, skilled young forward not expected to be impressive.

Maybe what’s even more frustrating for Washington is that it’s seen what Burakovsky could be, and quitting on that isn’t an easy call when he’s still just 23, especially considering the organization is lacking high-end forward talent in its prospect ranks. Burakovsky scored two goals in Game 7 against the Tampa Bay Lightning in the Eastern Conference finals, a performance that helped put the Capitals in a position to win a franchise-first Stanley Cup.

Just three seasons ago, Burakovsky scored 12 goals with eight assists in 26 games from January through March to finish the year with 17 goals and 21 assists, his best season since he made his debut as a 19-year-old. The next year, he played 15 fewer games because of a broken right hand, his production dipping slightly as a result, and Washington signed him to a two-year, $6 million deal, confident that Burakovsky’s year was just hampered by the injury. The belief then was he would continue to establish himself as part of the organization’s future, perhaps warranting a long-term contract once that bridge deal was finished.

But Burakovsky broke his left thumb last season, and he played in fewer games and scored fewer points again. The flashes of obvious talent come less frequently now, even as Burakovsky, to his credit, has been working with a mental coach in search of more consistency in his attitude and play. After Wilson got hurt last week, Burakovsky was promoted to the top line beside center Nicklas Backstrom and captain Alex Ovechkin. In his first game there, Burakovsky acknowledged he played poorly, but his performance was redeemed by scoring the game-winning goal against the Arizona Coyotes. He remained in that first-line right wing spot against the Columbus Blue Jackets, but after he took two penalties in the third period, Burakovsky was a healthy scratch before Washington’s game against the Detroit Red Wings on Tuesday.

“Other players had taken more advantage of the opportunity than he had recently,” Coach Todd Reirden said that morning. “For me, it’s a rewards/earned ice time situation where there’s a lot of competition. What happens is when players get opportunities and they play well, then it creates competition. Some have to win, some have to lose in that competition. Right now, that’s what we’ve chosen to go with. Now, Andre is still a very young player, huge upside, skill level is really exceptional. This is just where we’re at today, and that can change day by day.”

T.J. Oshie’s return from a concussion was what pushed Burakovsky out of the lineup against Detroit, and now that Wilson is expected to return Friday, Burakovsky’s climb back into it has gotten steeper. Winger Chandler Stephenson is also expected to be a healthy scratch, and while he’s scored fewer points than Burakovsky this season, Stephenson plays on the penalty kill. Burakovsky, on the other hand, doesn’t usually play on any special teams.

Averaging 0.28 points per game this season, Burakovsky is on pace for his worst season, well behind the 0.42 points per game he had as a rookie, when he finished with nine goals and 13 assists in 53 games.

“He’s still a young player,” Reirden said. “We’ve had him here for a while, so we think he’s older than he is. He’s still in a process of trying to really solidify himself as a full-time NHLer that can score at the rate he hopes and we envision him scoring at here as well.”

The issue is that this has become an annual story line with Burakovsky. He’s had numerous rough patches followed by healthy scratches in each of his five seasons, and it’s under two different coaches now. He scored with relative ease in Sweden’s professional league and then playing alongside now-Edmonton Oilers center Connor McDavid in the Ontario Hockey League before getting drafted. He’s had to adjust his expectations in the NHL, and as he rates his own performance after every game, he’s focused more on his overall play rather than just if he tallied a point. Scoring slumps used to cause other areas of his game to deteriorate, so he’s pledged to be more mindful of the little things and his play away from the puck.

Of course he’s frustrated, too, but beating himself up over his own game made things worse in the past, so Burakovsky has instead opted for optimism while others are starting to question how much longer he’ll be in Washington.

“You can always do more, but I think my game has been pretty positive from my side," he said. “I don’t think there’s anything in particular that I’m going to really change. I think guys on the team have been playing really well and deserve to play, and they’ve done a little bit more than maybe I have in the past now. We’ve been winning, so that’s the most important thing. When I get the chance, I’m just going to go in and do my thing, play my game."

I see I'm not the only one disappointed by Burka's stupidly worded comments.  I'm hoping some of it is language barrier, but really doubt that.


Not worried about his future?  He's proven what he can do?  :huh:



Does the guy really NOT get it?  Is he truly just a legend in his own mind?


Not going to get anything for him, but trade him.  (Team has to need more pucks)   :wackysmile:

    This is the first I heard this comment. I'm disappointed too. Makes it sound like he doesnt want to put in the effort. You are right though the comments could be taken iut if context because if the language barrier.

keep being an ass and you will get a 24 hour ban, you've had numous talks about being respectful and this isn't it. The most effective ignor button in the world is between your ears, you should use it once in a while

Caps very fortunate to win this game.  Caps were not mentally ready to play that game.  They probably believed like many of us that with Carolina playing last night they would not have any trouble winning tonight.  Holtby had a sub-par performance and Bowey had a tough night too, he was consistently getting beat.  Ovi was unbelievable, what a shot.  Caps fans are so lucky he plays for us.  I still remember in 2004 when the Caps won the lottery that allowed us to draft him.  Iwas so happy and then I was at the draft when GMGM announced that the Caps with the first selection takes from Moscow Russia Alexander Ovechkin.  The rest is history.

     Ive been dealing with arranging my moms funeral the past couple of days. I havent slept in 2 days and I just drove for 6 hours on no sleep so I could get back home tonight.

    Thank you very much.
My moms health has been poor for a long time now so it wasnt unexpected. You think you are prepared for it but you aren't. I thought I was prepared but I was totally overwhelmed. And my 2 sisters were even worse. Then I still have to deal with the estate. Thank god my wife does that for a living.
      As far as a response from Alta. If he is willing to let things go then of course I'd like a response if he doesnt wish to that's fine but then I think it would be better if we completely ignore each other. Unfortunately the ignore option in this board isnt a true ignore so we have to be disciplined. Not always easy to do.
     Anyway I'm off to bed. Have a good night Lily. Or morning? What time is it there? I think its 6 hours difference from here.

For the record, I don't think you can block a "Mod" on any board and as Alta is one, that just isn't going to work.  Banging your head against a brick wall there sweetie!    )insert the thingammy here)  Do us all a favour and stop keep banging!  It's not helping anybody, yourself least.

If you remember - not so very long ago - you and I had a few run ins....   ...  and not just you and I.  It was only quite recently, in the last couple of weeks, I think, that somebody had a pop at you about the way....   hmmmm, shall we say the way you phrase things?  You do come across as very arguamentative and provocative sometimes.  Other times, you seem to have mellowed and we can actually have a decent chat, or at least discussion.
I ........  I think it's okay to say "we", understand you're under intense emotional duress at the moment and will be for some time.  We understand.  We get it.  We've pretty much all been there.  I did it a couple of months ago with my beloved cousin.  It hurts. 

Do you remember ..... well, it was before you graced us with your presence, but how I call the people on here and many of them on the last site, I call them m"

 (trying to carry on from where I left off)
"My caps family"You know I was over there a few years ago, right?  You understand that I met some of the guys and gals on this board?  In person.  Incredible experience.  Amazing.  So many of them went out of their way to come and say "hi" and spend some time with me.  Went out of their way to make that visit so memorable and exceptional.  They did.  ALL of them.

 It was quite overwhelming at times.
Did you hear the story about when Alta and I came out after a game and I tripped over a traffic cone and went flying?  Alta dived in front of me to break my fall.  Lots of people looking and sniffing.   ... I said, "Who put Justin Schultz there?"  Talk about breaking the ice!   :lmao:   I guess you had to be there......  It was very funny at the time.    Then there's the White Russians at the hotel and the Buffalo for lunch...........
What I'm trying to say is that Alta is a really, really good guy.
My overall point.........
You can be part of this family too.  Well, you sort of are already.  Stop fighting it.  Just stop fighting.  It's a good family.  Sometimes we disagree..... a lot.... sometimes we fight, but what is going on with you and Alta is almost a feud and that has to stop.  Now.    Please.

If you want to talk, I'm here.  Personally, I think you should get some sleep.

The last thing I need or want is a confrontation with you. Is it too much to ask that we ignore each other? I'm willing to just let things go. Are you?

I don't know if anyone will believe me, but when i made the previous post I did NOT type the words "that white conservative."  I simply said that "I have ArJunaZ blocked ....."  How those three extra words got in there, I have no idea.

Wow!  I just finally watched last night's game. What a tense one it was, and a great comeback too. I could not keep my eyelids open. I just kept opening my eyes when the TV screamed "GOAL"or "Score" until the end of the 2nd when I turned it off. I didn't remember anything else. Ovie getting another hat trick was sick. Siegenthaler, Down, Carlson, and Boyd were excellent for the most part. And Wilson just keeps an incredible run going. Opponents are in trouble because they can't focus on  just a few key players. We are loaded for bear. . . . no not the volcano Bear. :P

 I'll try to get tonight's GDT up asap.

No Canadian would act like "MY country planted a flag on the moon and YOURS didn't.... I can ban YOU and you can't ban ME".
There, I said it.  If I am destined to suffer for speaking the truth I am ready to face my destiny.

   Lol I think you are mocking me. No one has ever called me super nice. And if they did I would call them a liar. I know I have a short fuse but I'm working on it.

    Ya ya I get it. I know that I am cocky and arrogant. And I rub people the wrong way sometimes. Or some people here just think I'm a dick. What do you want me to say? I'm sorry I'm a dick lol
    Oh and I thought our time difference was 6 hours. I'm not on est. I'm out west. Maybe it us only 5 hours. The differences in time screw me up because we dont use daylight savings time here. Most places do but not all so its hard to keep track of.
