If Burakovsky has trouble buying into the Stanley Cup Champion's culture, imagine he'd have a tough time having success in Edmonton.
not with his qualifying offerDoes a Puljujarvi - Burakovsky swap make sense?
For the Caps it could.Any chance that turns into a Filip Forsberg situation for either team?
Burakovsky is 24 years old so that ship has sailed. Doubtful for Puljujarvi as wellAny chance that turns into a Filip Forsberg situation for either team?
Ha ha, sure thing bud. There is literally ZERO CHANCE Puljujaarvi becomes anything close to Filip Forsberg. In fact, Burakovsky played internationally for Sweden which is probably closer to being Forsberg than Puljujarvi could ever dream of.For the Caps it could.
But Burakovsky would be overpaid af and a complete flop in Edmonton.
Yeah BUSTs rarely turn into Filip Forsberg.Burakovsky is 24 years old so that ship has sailed. Doubtful for Puljujarvi as well
I’m sure you would have.I would've traded Cagguila for Burkovsky but not Puljujarvi.
I’m sure you would have.
Here’s something humorous, Burakovsky would currently be the Oilers FIFTH highest scoring Forward. And I thought he was having a bad year. That’s solid 2nd line production in EDM.

That’s a better problem to have than drafting a straight BUST 4th overall not more than 4 years after drafting a BUST 1st overall. What do you think somebody is going to give you for Puljujaarvi who is, quite clearly, a worse player than Burakovsky today?Nobody is giving you anything for Burakovksy, bud. You’re going to get nothing for him and be stuck either qualifying him at an absurd amount or walking away.

You can keep living on the hope of Puljujaarvi. I mean Oiler fans have to burn something to stay warm and have to find hope anywhere they can, God knows it’s not on the ice.I’d take a 20 year old 4th overall with some issues to work out 100 times out of 100 over a 24 year old making 3 million that looks like a flaming dumpster 19 games out of every 20 and yet is given chance after chance after chance to prove he’s worth keeping around. Guy’s gotten progressively worse every year he’s been in the league.
I wouldn’t take Burakovsky for free.

The facts are Burakovsky, for all the lamentation, has outscored Puljujaarvi significantly both seasons the two have been in the league. Sure Burakovsky’s points are down this season, how’s his ice-time? His linemates? Can you even name them? I wonder if that might not have something to do with it?
You make so much of the “chance” Burakovsky has been given whereas Puljujarvi apparently has more to show. Puljujarvi is playing almost a minute more in aggregate TOI than Burt this season and Burakovsky is nearly doubling him up in points and Burt’s linemates are likely significantly worse. It’s absolutley nonsensical to suggest Burakovsky is squandering some great “chance” yet Puljujarvi just needs more time. Face it Puljujarvi is a BUST.
More appropriately Puljujaarvi is stapled to Ryan Nugent-Hopkins who is nearly a Point-Per-Game player this season while Burakovsky is stapled to Brett Cojly and Lars Eller who have fewer points combined than RNH by himself. But I guess that doesn’t fit your narrative, huh? Face it Puljujarvi is being fed 2ND Line minutes he doesn’t deserve and is getting doubled up by a guy playing on the 3RD/4TH line of a significantly better team. The circumstances are different but one player is clearly WINNING and it’s not Puljujarvi.17 points in 55 games on a Cup contender with better linemates than Puljujarvi has gotten all year? Poor kid how does he survive? Wonder how he’d do stapled to Lucic like Puljujarvi gets?
Tell you what if Puljujarvi is as overpaid and ineffective at 24 as Burakovksy is, he’s a bust. Now? You just look foolish. We’ll definitely be qualifying him, can you say the same about your guy? I’m not signing up to pay him that much next year. Nobody is. He’ll be a UFA. Jury’s out if he even gets signed. Maybe at a massive discount like Justin Schultz did.
Putting BUST in caps doesn’t make you look any more intelligent, for the record.
