Looking forward to watching this one. I hope you all are doing well.
We are taking good care of your boy; I hope he has a great time back home with you all tonight.
I didn't mind Burns' contract compared to Vlasic or EK.I miss Burnzie, but I don't miss that contract. I feel like he could have lived up to it a bit more if he was surrounded by a team instead of a bunch of coworkers while he was here in SJ. Or, maybe the coworkers needed to be better at hockey than this current group to fully utilize the wookie's talents? Whatever, hopefully he's thriving in Carolina.
Already put this in the callup thread. I know some thought Eklund was coming up for this game, but they actually sent him right back down yesterday:
So its safe to assume that Timo is playing tonight? I thought that they calling up an actual forward in Eklund meant Timo might not play. Do we know if Harrington is heading down? That would probably tell us if Ferraro is playing or not.
That's fair, if only they wanted to win like Burns... Pretty sure they'd not be lounging around SJ for a rebuild if that were the case.I didn't mind Burns' contract compared to Vlasic or EK.

Yah, good point, his game has really gone to the dogs.Vlasic has severely negative value anyway, so if he wanted to win on some other team, he'd have to void his current contract somehow and sign for league minimum somewhere else (assuming he could find a job - maybe he could compete to win the Calder Cup).
Might be a number 5 in the ahl, so even if he won a calder cup it would not be a great accomplishment.Yah, good point, his game has really gone to the dogs.
Sample size be damned, Vlasic's back:Yah, good point, his game has really gone to the dogs.
