Burmistrov


Dallas could use some help up front with all their injuries and Burmistrov just isn't working in Winnipeg. I feel like he could possibly unlock some of that potential that Jets fans were once excited about and could maybe realize it in a new environment. Oleksiak gets a new chance somewhere else, most likely starting with the Moose in the AHL.
Thoughts?

I suggested this in the Burmi thread and got no responses. I am all for this. Struggling first round pick swap

I remember Oleksiak being a pretty high pick. What happened to him?

Mismanagement in his early years leading to him being a constant healthy scratch since he required waivers early plus him not taking a step forward on his own. There's the obvious question of whether he'd improve if he was a regular roster player which I'm sure he would. I just don't see it happening in Dallas.

As for the OP, I'm all for it.

Burmistrov is an NHL player. He makes 1.55 and is an RFA.

Oleksiak is a large defenseman.

Its not like the Stars need Burmistrov. We could use any forward shortterm and it would be nice to get rid of the 8D when you can barely dress 12 healthy enough forwards.

If you don't want Oleksiak fine . We can just ( hopefully ) waive him and call up a forward. Not giving you extra value for an optional player.

I'd trade Burmistrov to Dallas to slow their offense. I use his time on ice to take washroom breaks and make food.

Hold on there. Just had a chance to read up on him. Done deal. Is he on this trip with the team? If so leave him behind. We will text Burmi's cell # to you.

As a Jet's fan I'd do this deal...seems like a fair proposal as Dallas has injury problems and Wpg has minimal D depth. Nice work!

Seems like fair value and both teams get to roll the dice that a change of scenery helps.
