Brent Burns or Cam Barker?

One year, points only.

Burns or Barker?

I would go with Brent Burns. He seems to be their trigger guy on the 1st PP-unit.

Barker has competition in front of him in Chicago.

Personally, Burns is the slamdunk choice here. Barker is good and on a good team - but I think Burns could really light it up.

Thanks guys.

I just saw that Ryan Suter is also available......Thoughts?

[First Round Pick]

I like both of them better than Barker, he didn't get much for even strength ice-time last year during his breakout year, most of his points came on the PP. If he doesn't see that ice-time, he'll have a very hard time duplicating his point totals.

Between Burns and Suter, it's the classic case of steady production vs. possible slam dunk. Suter is a lock #2 d to run the 1st PP with Weber, and his numbers have continuously risen each year. Burns has the elite #1 potential, but injuries and a new coach/format may or may not play into his hands. Personally I tend to shy away from guys who had head injuries until they can play a full year without getting hurt.

I would lean towards Suter slightly, thinking he can still ramp his point totals to near 50 points. If you're all-in, then take Burns.

I also say Burns.

This will hinge greatly on whether or not Barker gets back to top PP. But Burns is going to be putting on a show for the Olympic coaches to try to show that he belongs on the team.

Burns.
