Yet the Stars — who are a much deeper team — seem more willing to give Bourque a real shot than the Flames are with Kerins. Not sure why that is.
I don't really see the point in acquiring Bourque when the Flames already have Kerins.
However, Dallas's 1st is very enticing, because Gulutzan might run that team to the ground.

Rickard Rakell had 70 pts this year, Barkov had 71...
It doesn't make any sense that Barkov is so much more highly regarded.
