Rumor: Burakovsky may not get Qualifying Offer

[BudBundy]

Former McDavid team mate in OHL and the Oilers did wonders for Steve Chiasson. Could be a nice fit/opportunity.

You mean Alex Chiasson?

 

[Chips]

Capitals did the same with Connolly in 2017 and Smith-Pelly in 2018 and both of them resigned. I expect Burakovsky to resign.

This, unless the team also intends to not even try to keep him, he will almost certainly stay.
This team is close, he and Tom Wilson are super close, he likes Washington, he will certainly have a roster spot unless some random depth players (multiple.) start playing amazing. The depth isn’t amazing anymore.

You mean Alex Chiasson?

Yes. Alex. Gave my age away! Lol

 

[Michel Beauchamp]

You answered your own question

You really believe this ?

Strange.

 

[McFlyingV]

Give your old line mate a call, Connor.

I think there is a close to 0% chance he re-signs

Burakovsky is a 20 goal scorer waiting to happen in the Oilers top 6. Easy pick up. Don't waste this opportunity away. Former teammate of 97

 

[Michel Beauchamp]

Didn't the Caps do this with DSP? And then signed him cheaper?

yes

Not really.

His QO would have been $715K ($650K salary in 2017-18).

They signed him for $1M for 2018-19.

In Connolly's case (mentioned in this thread), the QO would have been $845.25K.

They signed him to a 2-year contract of $1.5M per year.

If these wonders were so wonderful you’d think you’d know his first name.

Also don’t give the Oilers credit for doing wonders for anyone anytime recently.

We'll see, but have to think that BMAC has already had such conversations with Burakovsky and his agent about what the Capitals would like to do and I would think that Bura and his camp has given him receptive responses, otherwise if you're not receiving such vibes why not just move him for whatever you can get.

Bergevin is all over this.

Why not stay with an actual contender? Or a team who has won at least 1 playoff round? He won’t find the 2nd round in Toronto

Says who? Love snarky comments like these. What are you? 10? Grow up smh

Whenever I hear Toronto and Contender in the same sentence. I feel the same way about that poster. Drink more Kool-Aid

 

[Kshahdoo]

And I remember time, when Washington fans argued, who was going to be better, him ot Kuznetsov...

 

[Langway]

The concern in both cases was arbitration and what they would have been awarded.

 

[quesosauce]

Avalanche should take a look at him, they need depth scoring in the worst way

I mean outside of the Blues they were the only team that put up a fight against the Bruins. If they somehow managed to win that series that would've been the Leafs in the finals. Guys like you always change your agenda against the Leafs. When the Leafs make a run you'll find something else to crap on. Its sad honestly.

 

[Oilwings]

Oilers are under new managament.

Considering only your team and the Panthers have not won a playoff round in post lockout era hockey. I’ll continue to bet against the Laughs in the playoffs.

 

[Cogburn]

Colour me interested. I know it's tough with the QO likely not being rendered, but what sort of salary would he be looking for?

 

[HandsomeTom43]

The Leafs comments are hilarious. I hope we re-sign him, but if not, it will be because someone offered him more money.

 

[BiPolar Caps]

Whoever he signs with and whatever he signs for, it'll be of a short duration, a trial or prove it contract. He will not want to be on below 3 mil contract for an extended period of time.

Caps fan here. I don't remember that argument. Ever

Another 3rd liner for his collection.

Yes. Alex. Gave my age away! Lol

The Bud Bundy reference already did.
