[Mr. Canucklehead]

I think we can discuss this with certainty now.



Multiple sources confirming he's signed and been dealt. Just awaiting return.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

For Jonathan Dahlen:



Dahlen was a 2nd rounder in 2016. Seems to be having a good year in Sweden.

[PG Canuck]

Love you Burr.

 

[GetFocht]

Beautiful trade

 

[Puck Ingrate]

Good deal. Dahlen's a great return for Burrows.

 

[Burke's Evil Spirit]

Outstanding trade. Benning's best yet.

 

[canwincup]

Great return if true

 

[Mad Brills*]

dahlen's probably nhl ready next year.

 

[Eddy Punch Clock]

Next stop..... Ring of Honour?

 

[Snatcher Demko]

Very good trade if true. While Dahlen (if this is indeed the deal) is just a prospect, he's a good one and well worth the risk.

 

[pitseleh]

Outstanding trade. Benning's best yet.

Agreed. Sad to see Burrows go, but this is Benning's best move since becoming GM.

 

[FroshaugFan2]

Terrific return if it is a straight player for player deal.

 

[me2]

Well done Benning. Weird trade Ottawa.

 

[thepuckmonster]

Wow Benning you did a good.

Guess I should change my username.

 

[Josepho]

I always believed in you, Jim.

 

[Johnny Canucker]

dahlen's probably nhl ready next year.

Basically Rodin , reincarnated

 

[Nuckles]

Wow, Benning managed to not make a bad trade.

 

[BigRig4]

Good job, you guys just absolutely fleeced us. Dahlen is gonna be an absolute stud... So upset.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

First and foremost - I think that's a strong return for Burrows. I'm equal parts pleased and impressed.

But more than that, I'm pretty melancholy. Burrows is one of my favorite players to ever put on a Canuck uniform. Seemed like he was involved in every big goal and moment that this team had for the last 12 years. To see him not only ship out, but also sign an extension and thereby close the door on coming back here to finish his career...that's tough.

He'll always be the biggest rags to riches story of inspiration this team has had, and he'll always be our Dragon Slayer. All the best in Ottawa, Burr. They're lucky to have you.

 

[Bgav]

Amazing

 

[Knight53]

Jim Benning's best trade thus far.

Legit loss of words he got this prospect. Had him as a late first rounder.

Excited at a Hansen return now. Lets GOOOO!

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

Jesus. Does Ottawa want Hansen too?

Sad when I have to feel bad for Senators fans because their GM is an idiot...

i can live with this...now i need to get his SbyS games
