Burns is a very solid junior player, not sure what the Blades situation is but he is a good secondary option.

Anyone know much about McEvoy?

I take it the Giants are rebuilding ?

Wow did Bonner hose Molleken and the Blades in this deal. Burns isn't worth a 1st round pick by himself, never mind a 3rd rounder and a roster player. I realize McEvoy isn't much more than a bottom six checker but that is a hefty price tag for a 2nd line player at best. Maybe they hope he can contribute like his brother Michael did last season.

Is there any chance that Vancouver could possibly be planning to aim for last place for top pick in the bantam draft to grab Jaeger White

Kootenay might have something to say about that.

Off topic but how does White compare to Barzal ?

Haven't seen Barzal but saw White for a game. He's a good sized forward who's most dangerous weapon is his ability to score. Quick release, heavy shot, finds open areas and good scoring areas. Could improve his initial quickness but overall good speed with good size.

That is all I can say because I saw him play against Cloverdale which was a 78-2 shot game for BWC...
