News Article: Oilers release Burdasov from PTO

[Drivesaitl]

It seems you goes all in on a player you like and never look back whatever happens!
Burdasov arent any special , his Khl numbers arent any special, a pp specialist 28 years old!

Nygards has elite speed and showed scoring ability(Shl), 26 years late bloomer who can be useful in pk, skating is life supporting to survive in Nhl today! He isnt any saviour,very happy if he can be useful in pk and pot 15+15 at that price !

heh.

We'll see. We need Nygard to be good here. Rieder had speed and that didn't help. We need more hands on deck around the net. Oilers teams have really struggled with any scoring and production depth the past several seasons.

Maybe he’s planning to try again next year?

I hope so. He really did look good. A full preseason training camp and a year learning english better for improved communication will be great.

Whether he comes back here idk. I hope he does. Next season Holland will have a little extra wiggle room with the cap and might be able to gamble a little with Burdasov.

While this is nice, I sincerely hope that our lineup holds up enough this season making a player like Burdasov redundant moving forward.

Exactly. We have a chance with Burdasov to right some previous wrongs in getting a Russian that can shoot and finish.

We do this every ****ing time we get a Russian forward. Just get rid of them.

Meanwhile we play tonight and the gang can't buy a goal until garbage time and at times looked like a team that wouldn't score forever.

just frustrating.

Burdasov is big, physical, smart, positionally sound and can score. So we punt his ass. We'll start the season with 8 forwards who can't buy a goal.

My god man.

I’m calling it. Why are you fan? All you do is bitch and moan.

They won the first game and you are making up scenarios in your head about not scoring. 3 goals were scored last game. Will you be happy when all 12 forwards score a goal in the same game? Actually no, you wouldn’t be.

The oilers could win the cup but if they go 82-0 during the season and 16-0 during the play offs you’d still bitch about something.

There's so many players on one year contracts and one year remaining it's inevitable that the team will have some turnover. I'll look forward to seeing if Burdasov does come back next year and make sure all his paperwork is done early so he doesn't have the same problems again.

Almost every comment I've made about the team over the last off season, or month, has been pretty positive, and that reflected in several threads. I'm much more positive since Holland and Tippet are here to right the table and I'm huge fans of all the players on this team that move the dial.

Btw the post you quoted is a September post so not sure why you're citing we won the first game to attack the post.

If this guy is so good, why is every other NHL team not snapping him up after we let him go? Maybe Holland and Tippet know a little thing or too about evaluation of potential NHL talent.

Maybe becasue the rosters are set late in the pre-season. Hope we bring him back to see if he can make it.
