Smith (det) to the rags. A 2nd and a 3rd

I liked it better when Friedman hunked we were in on him.

I think this pushes players away from supporting the team and will actually lead to emptier seats.

Example. If we had a Duchene, I would pay to go see him play because I would get the sense that the team is serious about winning. With a Burrows, I am satisfied watching from home, and will likely turn off the game when the opposing team scores on the PP while he sits in the penalty box.

Bringing in a Burrows AFTER adding a Duchene would make the former look a whole lot better.

Agreed. The only way I can see that happening is trading Lazar for a 2nd, and packaging that pick, our 1st, Ceci and another prospect for him. Which won't happen.

I think he's a touch better than that. Great wheels, size, penalty killing skillz...

Is this a round about way of Dorion cleaning up the mess of having kept both Neil and having brought back Kelly?  Sounds like both Burrows and Stalberg are upgrades on Neil and Kelly and fit decently on the 3rd line.
