Confirmed Trade: [OTT/VAN] Alex Burrows for Jonathan Dahlen; Burrows re-signs 2 years/2.5M AAV

[PG Canuck]

They didn't get the kid for 10mins before the twitter canucks fans proclaimed him to be better than forsberg. Lol jeez.

There were also a lot of people in the media doing so as well that aren't related to the Canucks in any way.

This is the Nucks version of a cup victory lol. Someone lost a trade to Benning....

 

[Inkling]

I don't think it's meant to compare Dahlen to Forsberg in terms of being a successful prospect. I think it's meant to highlight that Dahlen is having a good season comparable to Forsberg's and then Forsberg was traded for Erat.

We condemn that move as being just stupid not just because Forsberg panned out, but because it was an overpayment at the time. Much like Dahlen is an overpayment for Burrows.

If Dahlen pans out, this trade will be directly compared to the Erat trade all the time.

Exactly, the point is that we don't know what Dahlen will become but we know pretty much what Burrows will be in the next two years, and whatever he is, Burrows is not the missing piece to an Ottawa Cup contender.

Washington made a better offer, but after trying to interpret the list of conditions, benning said screw it

At the end of the day, this needs to be repeated. How does someone get fleeced by the worst gm in the NHL?

How do you lose a trade so badly to Benning

 

[Frank Garrett]

The Ottawa GM must really like Burrows.

Personally I don't think it deserves to be mentioned alongside the Erat/Forsberg deal. Dahlen is basically a late 1st/high 2nd, and that's the going rate for buying so far this deadline. Maybe a little high for Burrows but that's probably because it was a sign and trade.

Forsberg was Washington's top prospect, a top 10 guy who fell to 11. It's not like Ottawa traded Chabot or White here, Dahlen is an expensive price but he's Ottawa's 4-6th best prospect?

I think it starts with HF closing the book on a trade exactly 5 minutes after it happened

 

[Gabriel426]

I would not use the word fleeced but Vancouver really did well with this deal. Having said that, if the Sens plays the Habs in the first round, Burrows might just be the difference maker in that series.

I always thought that Burrows would go to the Habs...He is clutch though,..he scored some big goals for the Canucks...I could see him becoming a difference maker as well for the Sens (hence becoming very unpopular in Montreal).

Well no one was expecting this good of value for Burrows. Period.

 

[JetsFan815]

Here's my question- how will Pierre Dorian sleep tonight? How does one sleep at night after gutting their franchise like that in 5 minutes?

 

[linusandvarlamov]

Ottawa sort of got fleeced on this one. But to resign Burrows is ... just yucky.

 

[Korpse]

Here's my question- how will Pierre Dorian sleep tonight? How does one sleep at night after gutting your franchise like that in 5 minutes?

What the actual ****.

 

[SAK11]

Well no one was expecting this good of value for Burrows. Period.

Yeah, never argued against that. Just arguing against calling it a fleecing before Burrows plays even 1 minute for Ottawa. But that's HF for you.

 

[Clamshells]

This is exactly how I feel. Ottawa will be a lottery team for the next 5 years after this trade. Might as well just relocate to qc already.

nah

Ottawa isn't afraid fo the Habs. We've beaten them before.

Well it's not looking food for Ottawa right now, and only has potential to get awful. Or Dahlen doesn't amount to much and we all look like fools. Burrows is a solid depth player.

Yep you have laid out the possibilities, now lets see how it plays out. Or just yell "DORION GOT FLEECED" and be done with it

FLEECE, IT'S A FLEECE.

Just kidding. Definitely a wait and see trade and it all relies on what Dahlen becomes.
