Perhaps the reason why they kept burrows as well. Talk was he was done. Maybe they bring in Kane and have burrows babysit him. They aren't flush with assets to bring in a 2nd line player so they will need to take one with warts.
Just think they could find a better fit. Hartnell has been on the block all summer and Columbus is willing to dump him for cheap. Only ? Is if he'd waive for Vancouver bit you'd think its preferable to Columbus and torts. Patrik Berglund should be available as well and he'd be affordable and relatively issue free. Has a ntc but playing with Sedins should be attractive enough to ok a deal.
