Yes they did play 5 games and Bura was excellent in those 5. He had at least 4 assists that I can recall and his line was our best possession line.
Ok...I still think if someone is traded that it will be Burt.

I don’t disagree if that was the case. I’d as soon let Carlson walk personally
Just to be clear, Burakovsky and Granlund have produced pretty much identically at even strength. The differences are that Granlund gets significant PP time and has been healthier. That doesn't mean they're equals, but let's be clear about what they've done.Granlund also had to be moved to winger full time before he truly became a 60-70 point player.
Burakovsky is already a winger.
Do you see the issue here?
Vrana is only one year younger than Burakovsky. It just feels like they're further apart because Burakovsky seized an NHL roster spot much faster.Burakovsky is a huge disappointment though. To see Vrana outplay him as a rookie worried me a lot.

Granlund -- 153 ESP; 308 GP; 18:25 TOI; 2:22 PPTOI; .49 ESP/GP; ~2.01 ESP/60
