They must still think this is 2008 where he was somewhat a useful player. He's not even AHL worthy right now. He sucks and you barely notice him on the ice anymore. He's not even a good pest either and he can't score.

Chris Johnston @reporterchris
Alex Burrows' $5M, two-year extension with #sens includes a 10-team no-trade list.

Hopefully we're on that list

Hahah, Alex Burrows gets an NTC?

[troutman]

What is Ottawa doing? Trying to match-up with Marchand and Gallagher?

You're not the judge on who we can hate and who should get priority...

Have you even been reading CHL's posts in this thread?

Unfortunately, Corsi's curse is that most people don't read beyond the first sentence of anything he types since it is usually a wall of text and ain't nobody got time for that before responding!

Also... that one guy is still so jelly.

But I reserve my real animosity for players who deliberately try to injure other people. He isn't that. I just don't get the priorities many people have about what makes players inexcusably awful in hockey... I'd rather have awful things said to me or my hair pulled than have someone knee me in the head (James Neal) or elbow me in the face (Duncan Keith). Doesn't mean he's a nice guy or anything, it's just if you were picking one person to run out of the league, I'd get the guys who seriously hurt people first.

He clearly talks about priorities and who he'd get "first".

I can't fathom why anyone would disagree with prioritizing the worst offenders. Simply put: Burrows is a rat who does not contribute to making the game better, and he is guilty of endangering other players in the past. But there are worse offenders in the League who deserve at least as much ire.

I am often astonished about how a few posters here seem to lack any capacity for nuance.

Oh please. You made the reply because you're still butt hurt about the OOT thread the other day.

Just amazing you went from one of the best posters before becoming a mod to a very petty one.

I (and others) can make our own decisions on who to hate more and in which order.

EDIT: Ehhh, nevermind. Not worth it.
