    Default Brent Burns, score a point this month please!

    Seriously.

    It's the 18th of November. He has 0 goals and 0 assists this month.

    Was so happy when I traded for him at the beginning of the season. A real coup, I thought.

    The whole Sharks team has been awful. Things can only get better from now on, right?
    I can't promise I'll try but I'll try to try.

    Pavelski hasn't been all that much better.

    Gotta say, Burns and Pavelski are burying me in one league. It boggles the mind how bad they have been thus far this season. I watched a few games and Burns looks as good as ever in my opinion. Getting the puck to the net, joining the rush, making fantastic outlet passes... crazy bad luck. Pavelski on the other hand has not looked as good. Hopefully both start getting on the score sheet again soon or I may as well throw up the white flag in one league.

    Yet the Sharks (surprisingly) are over .500 and in the thick of it
    Experience is the teacher of all things.

    Maybe he's just burned out a little and needs a rest.
    Hockey Pools? Too many to mention. Points only, salary cap and dynasty.

    Burns carried me to back to back championships - our league settings made him the most valuable guy in the league. I shipped him this year for Nicklas Backstrom and Jake Muzzin and instantly regretted it. Now not so much

    Same thing with Buff (his zero goals are killing me), just seems like inexplicable bad luck as their respective games seem on par with what we have come to expect. Hard to know what the rest of the year will bring - I'm sure there will be some course correction, but definitely looking at a real down year for Burns.

    I want to think that too, he just makes it so very hard... the offer would be: my Guentzel and Burns for his Rakell and OEL...

    You offered YOUR Burns for HIS OEL? And you're hoping that HE bites?

    Maybe I read that wrong... I hope.

    I was just going to comment that someone in my league tried to trade me Klefbom for Burns. Easy decline.

    Well, salary cap OEL 5,5 vs Burns at 8 makes it not as bad as it sounds..

    I don't see Burns or OEL in either of your signature teams, so I missed that it is a salary cap league. I can make more sense of it now, but for every Brent Burns, there are 15 OELs (give or take). I would still keep Burns, but I can definitely understand the urge. If I owned oel, it would have been an immediate accept.
