How can Burmi say he doesn't know why he is not playing when Maurice said they talk every day.

Burmi isn't going anywhere until the 28th, my guess the Moose will soon have a new 3rd line centre!
PS trade him....good one!

Have said this all along, will repeat myself once again; there are lots of 12-year-old kids in Winnipeg that play a more disciplined style of hockey than Burmistrov. His game is all sizzle - no meat, and many here were wowed by the sizzle part and were unable to spot the lack of any structure to his play. Amazing how quiet most of them have since become on the topic. Some people here actually seriously referred to this guy as "Datsyuk-lite" at one point in time. LOL

He's such a frustrating player. By now we've seen so much of him and still don't know what makes him tick. I loved him that first year when the Jets came back. But then he went away from the hard hitting forechecking game. The feud with Noel and subsequent defection to the KHL was frustrating.
I was hoping when he came back that he would have his head screwed on properly. I believe his attitude has improved. He showed a glimmer of his potential tail end of last year. But he's back to his wandering ways again this year.
At this point, I feel that he is uncoachable. At least not with this organization. He needs to listen to his coaches and not follow his own instincts. They have not served him well and he should be smart enough to realize that. His potential is as a penalty killer and checking line with scoring potential. Too bad he has virtually no trade value.

Well if hindsight was 20/20.....never mind there were a couple guys who noticed Burmi's shortcomings right away and weren't wowed by his 'fancy'' skating, can't remember the detractors names though, something like ump asek and ip something!

When you aren't wowed by anyone it's easy to be right when someone turns out to be less than promised

Burmistrov is Rob Schremp V2.0
There never was any "promise" to his game. He is an all-skills/ no structure player. That is the freakin' point.

But that's the trap with Burmi. You see the skill set. As well as the lack of discipline. Logic tells you that you should be able to fix that. Burmi defies logic.

Yup. The time has come. I had hoped he would pick up where he left off last year. He has not. He has had enough opportunity.

For a rookie 4th liner he is very good. He has little upside, if any but on the 4th line he has been very good.

Certainly does. This is his first year of pro hockey. Its not like he had played 4 years in the AHL before becoming an NHL rookie. 24 YO status doesn't mean much when you are a rookie pro.
In a 4th line role Burmi/Tanev may be a saw-off. But Tanev is improving. Burmi is not.

Because in the PB he is eating Staffords popcorn.
If we could get rid of Stafford and Thor I would keep Burmi as 13th man. He can play any F position and is at least reasonably safe defensively so not a huge risk to put in.

They already have Nail Yakupov ( 21GP 3G 3A ) and Dmitrij Jaskin ( 27GP 1G 5A ).... you sure they want another Russian who can't produce?

Exactly what I thought. Appears to be uncoachable.
If they want him, they'll just wait for him to hit the waiver wire.
