Guess Anderson can't be the only Sens player playing.

Missed Cherry on CC, what did he say?

As someone who was in a band in high school, yes.

Also if you learn to play/sing some Everlast/Oasis on an acoustic you're in.

I'm well acquainted with Burmistrov from his time with the IceCaps this season. I was really impressed with his skating, but what I was most impressed with was his willingness to get physical and his capabilities on the penalty kill. I remember one PK in particular where Burmi stole the puck from an opponent, brought it all the way down into the offensive zone, went around the net, stickhandled through a few defenders, left the zone and retreated to his own blue line and passed it off to a d-man before changing. He seriously killed about 30 seconds off the penalty kill all by himself. We gave him a standing ovation.

Grabovski, prior to this season, had back-to-back 50-point seasons. Under Carlyle this season he was relied upon to play a more defensive role, which hurt his offensive production. Despite this downturn in production, he simply never gives up on a play or takes a game off. His work ethic is amazing. Those of you who watched the Bruins/Leafs series probably took note of this. His 125 points over the last 3 seasons would place him 4th among your forwards behind Ladd (155), Kane (133) and Little (126).

Grabovski needs a new start somewhere under a coach who will use him in offensive situations.
Burmistrov seems like he could use a change of scenery and would fit in very nicely on the Leafs' 3rd line.

Let's keep it civil, guys. Just a feeler.

He does well when he drives to the net, thus opening more room for others, and fore-checking hard but sometimes tries too much to be a pure scorer which he doesn't have the talent or IQ for.

OEL's deal starts this fall. It's a 6 year/$33 million deal. That's 4 RFA years and 2 UFA years for an AAV of $5.5 million.

Bogo would be an UFA after 2 seasons, so a 6 year deal for him would be 2 RFA, 4 UFA.

Ask yourselves: what would Bogo get this July 1 if he were a UFA? And what would he get on July 1, 2015 as a UFA heading into a season with an $80 million cap? This is the line his agent will be taking: "my client will do 2 years/$8 million or 8 years/$52 million."

I hear, ya.

I didn't mind the Tanger/Burmi/Santorelli line, in terms of puck possession.

They didn't seem to generate goals, but they had the bulk of play in the opposition end, iirc.

Wouldn't it be cool to see Chevy pick Domi (if he's available) :)

Watched the game last night, the kid has some speed and skill. With some good line mates (Kane) I think he would do well in the NHL. The Mock draft has us picking a D at 13... please no more D!

Has there been any talk about a new Burmistrov contract? What are the chances that instead he leaves for the KHL?
