Jonathan Dahlen was a player Ottawa traded to get burrows who now got waived. Rasmus Dahlin is the #1 prospect for the 2018 draft.
Got it now.

Jonathan Dahlen and Rasmus Dahlin are two different guys. The first one is the prospect they gave up in the trade for Burrows last year at the deadline.
Putting Burrows on waivers is admitting that they gave up their prospect Dahlen for nothing. That's poor asset management.
The Burrows trade was a huge mistake.
Yeah 1 in 30 transaction victories means 3 year extension for the CanucksI don’t say this often... but it looks like Jim benning came out ahead for a change.
The Burrows trade was not a mistake. What looks like a mistake was the 2 year contract extension.The Burrows trade was a huge mistake.

They obviously didn’t want to go shopping in the more expensive store.He's a 25 point player and there were better options out there. Hanzal would've been a great pickup for them. Turris/Brassard/Hanzal/Pageau is great center depth.
If they were going to take a chance on Burrows, they should've lowered the price.
Unlikely with his performance bonus'Oduya should be claimed. He's on a fair 1 year deal. If someone needs vet presence, this is your guy.
That’s the 40% benningAnother genius move by Dorion.... give the guy in his mid 30s a 2 year contract extension before he even plays a game for you. How could that have gone wrong?

They gambled and lost. They wanted to try and win the Stanley Cup and thought Burrows’ Playoff history and playstyle would help them achieve it. I’ll take that over teams being chickenshit with hoarding assets cause it’s “not time yet.”Yes it was because they totally overestimated his value. They gave up a pretty decent prospect for a guy that should have retired. They they gave him a nice fat contract. Ottawa is cash poor so they are making trades for cash. This was another 5 million wasted. That is worth about 2 2nds.
I agree with this statementThey gambled and lost. They wanted to try and win the Stanley Cup and thought Burrows’ Playoff history and playstyle would help them achieve it. I’ll take that over teams being chicken**** with hoarding assets cause it’s “not time yet.”
Imagine Lombardi was like that with my LAK and didn’t go for the carters and Richards and gabbys
Dion phaneuf , Waved 2 vets decent vets , Derick Brassard gone for picks / prospects , Kyle Turris traded . Duchane under preforming , erik karlsson in limbo unsure if resigning. Aging roster. Unlikly to win a cup in the next 3-4 years with current roster sounds like a rebuild to meYeah, that seems possible. Aside from the massive arena being built in downtown Ottawa that is.
Duchene under preforming
I could see Toronto claiming Oduya.

Pierre Dorion would make that trade twice just for all the high fives from the guys again.Canucks should claim burrows and trade him back to Ottawa next year.
I agree with this statement
Some of us in Canuck land regret that Mike Gillis didn't do more in the 2011 trade deadline to get us a top 6 winger. Should have just sold the farm for that once chance to win the cup.
I was thinking the same, but haven't seen him play the last couple years. Sounds like he wouldn't be very serviceable, if I listened to the posters here.
Hmmm. Cater, Richards, Gaborik in either their primes or close to, and a 36 year old Corpse of Burrows?They gambled and lost.
