GDT: 2012 UFA season frenzy

[glasgow26]

Konopka got 925k and we signed Burish for almost 2 million...is there a difference between these two players, other than one being a center and one being a winger?

What's with the Burish love? He sucks.

I think given the turnover in the bottom 6, and Mitchells comments in the paper yesterday about turnover, DW wants stability

[landshark]

capgeek listing Burish as 2012-2013 Shark

How's Burish's skating btw? I dont remember.

[one2gamble]

that term is fail and im not really sure abou tthe money, seems a bit steep

[Arkansas Shark]

Adam Burish yeeeee

@GMillerTSN
Burish gets 4 years from San Jose at approximately 1.8 per year.

So thats less than Taco.

1.8m

[ChompChomp]

4 years??? WTF? Was this another one of DW's man crushes that he just HAD to have? After all, Burish has a Cup and DW wants former Cup winners, right??

I agree.

[Rickety Cricket]

4 years? Damn.

If its just under $2 mil, the best way to look at is would you rather have Burish or Mitchell?

[4thLinePlug]

gord miller says approx 1.8m per for burish

[Kawaii]

not too bad

[SpinTheBlackCircle]

I like Burish, s' ok.

I don't think he sucks, but I think he's kinda meh.

[hockeyball]

He seems like a $1.5m player, but i'll admit to not really ever watching Dallas unless I can help it...

[sharkohol]

Why are people thinking a 4 year deal for a proven 28 year old depth guy is bad, especially for a team that has been a revolving door lately.

Unreal.

as long as the price is right, the length isn't that big of a deal

[sharkohol]

Also, Burish's last two years (his years with the Stars) were career years point-wise. He'd easily outscore Taco if he keeps it up.

[OrrNumber4]

Not a horrible signing; don' like the length. Burish can succeed in easy minutes...

that answer is easy. Burish brings more to the table if he's not scoring than Mitchell did.

Burish apologizes to kid after NHL 11 loss.

[JayP812]
