It can be somewhat annoying when the page refreshes while you're typing a comment.

I still think benching Reaves was a dumb move by Vegas. Sure Vegas had no chance but at least he provided a spine.

The only difference between the two is between the ears. If Burakovsky had higher on ice awareness he'd be just as good as Vrana.

Not sure Bura is as fast a skater or has quite the same skillset, but they don't seem all that far apart, except as you note in their awareness. They both have time - Bura not as much - to further develop.

Bura isn't nearly as good around the net and he needs much more space to get his shot off. He's also soft as a feather on his skates whereas Vrana can kind of hold his own in the corners. Not to mention that V is a better and faster skater all around. The only real similarity between them is that they're small, speedy wingers. Bura isn't even small. He's supposedly 6'3 but he plays like he's 5'9.

Burakovsky is as good defensively as Vrana. Not much of an accomplishment.
