So I found it odd the other night during the broadcast when Forslund and Co mentioned the Sprong trade, and said "he'll join the team later next week"?

He was in Vancouver, who at worst was on the road in LA. We're not talking about having to find the guy in the bowels of the Amazon. What's the delay?

Funny schedule. Busy, busy, busy, then long stretches without much activity at all. Must be tough on the players finding any kind of rhythm.

Wonder if Bura is going to make it through that whole contract here. I understood the signing but it looks like an expensive mistake.
I think the signing can be classified as a swing and a miss. He was good in first season but I dont really know what to make of that season since both that season and Burakovsky performance appears to be a one-off.

There are always options but they just seem to be expensive ones.

- Buyout: Feasible but I would rather just buy Grubauer out.
- Trade: Based on his current value, I would consider that a negative because of the term left. We could probably trade him for a similar player who requires a change in scenery but that is a lateral move unless the new player rebounds.
