Interesting to hear him only mention Monahan as the only future player.

Backlund finishes his checks - but Big Joe is the same kind of player - younger bigger cheaper. Might not need both.
Sven is terrible w/o the puck. I'll watch him tonight to see if the message sunk in today. He never finishes checks.
Russell is one of our highest rated d-man statistically, and could catch a good return imo - way better than a 4th.
Before Boston's comeback, there was a 44/55 shift where they started with control and no pressure from the Bruins and ended it under siege. IMO that's when the comeback started.
Butler is easily over come and SoB is not smart. Each of them is 50% of a good d-man.
My hope is that Burke is looking to fix that and get guys you can trust with the lead. Maybe he can quick fix before he hires his guy.
