So do we all agree that Holzer is ahead of him on the NHL depth chart?
hard not to feel bad for him
getting traded the season the ducks won it all
Still can't believe that trade went down.
Even at the time, a first round pick for him seemed like a pretty steep price.
IIRC the purpose of acquiring the pick at the time was to trade for a rental but Burke couldn't close the deal on anything. There was an interesting trade deadline blog from Burke floating around from that year.
Yeah he wasn't getting a first by himself. The 2nd going the other way made his value roughly a 2nd.yeah i still remember that trade. if i remember correctly it was o'brien and a 3rd rounder to tampa for gerald coleman and a 1st round pick. pretty sure the ducks ended up trading that pick to minnesota who drafted colton gillies with it
looking at it now, totally lopsided trade in favor of the ducks. too bad we ended up with mcmillan when pacioretty went to the habs a few picks later
I couldn't find you a link, but there's a very strong rumor that he had a deal for Jason Blake, but the fax didn't get in on time, or something of that nature. Thank god it didn't.
Ew. He's been rumored to be a bad influence, so unless he's grown up, I don't even really like it for San Diego a whole lot. They should be pretty good, though. That could be a real good blueline.

Of course. OB might even be behind Manson honestly.
