Burt's trade value is definitely not at an all time high, so I don't particularly feel a need to rush and sell low on him. I know many are frustrated and want to cut bait, but barring any significant changes to the team or its record, I'd be patient and see if he can finally turn a corner sometime between now and the end of the season. I don't think the type of return that the Caps would get for Burakovsky now justifies shipping him off.
That more likely means that he doesn't even get a qualifying offer from the Caps, IMO.
Burakovsky, woof. He just doesn't think the game at the level required to cash in on his talent and potential and there's no reason to believe the light bulb is ever going to turn on. He's a lost cause.
Better than paying a 25 pt winger $3.25M (if that what he puts up)
Understand he's only played two games, but am I missing something with Jaskin. I have just not been impressed with his game with the small sample size. Lack of speed and energy. I'd prefer Walker.
That's his new nickname, DJ Oos, DJ Out of Stock. I thought he looked good against Toronto but the GDT was ripping him a lot.
Did you watch the wrong game? He was directly responsible for 2 goals against. He also had a couple bad turnovers on foolish mistakes. The spin move that ended up giving the Leafs a 2 on 1 was a selfish play. Trying to be too cute.That's his new nickname, DJ Oos, DJ Out of Stock.

I'm not a Walker fan but I have to agree. I dont see much potential in Jaskin. I was expecting him to be more physical.Understand he's only played two games, but am I missing something with Jaskin.

Burakovsky did what he was supposed to do for this team and that was win a crucial playoff game like against Tampa Bay. For me, that buys him more time with the Caps. He's been streaky and I wouldn't object to a trade at the deadline if he doesn't become more consistent. If that is the case, I wouldn't expect much of a return other than a pick or similar player struggling on another team. We all know he has the skill and his shot is pretty wicked. For me personally, I would like to see him more in traffic areas.

Hits is another stat that can be misleading. We have seen every game. What have any of those hits amounted to. He doesnt deliver bonecrushing hits so he isn't intimidating anyone. And he isn't causing any turnovers. I dont dislike the guy but we need some speed on that 4th line. It could possibly be the slowest line in the league.Not defending him, I never care about these 4th line scrubs, but he has only played two games and he is 5th on the team in hits with 9 (leader has 19).
I guess with the exception of Grubauer. He was traded. He also didn't come up with any key plays in our cup run.It's hard to predict any player being traded if they were on the Cup team last year. There are obvious optics/sentiment reasons at play, but also because just about everyone stepped up with key plays during the Cup run and you can always justify standing pat on the chance they will do it again.
