I wish everyone could hear it the way I hear it in my head: Jacques Lemaire’s voice.

Much rather have Orlov than Burns. He's younger and fairly durable. His like a freight train.

Burns is still a very good player.  He would definitely be in our top 4 right away.

I'm not sure if this is a good thing, or if it's sad.   Leaning towards the latter being that it's "Christmas in July" and he's 40.

Just not sure he is still that good. When i saw him this past year he looked very slow. He just isn't the same player he was a couple years ago. But, he is big.

Orlov was victimized in his last playoff series badly. I would not want him. 

Burns should just retire to man-buns and petting zoos. MN doesn't need any Hurricanes defensemen.

I’d be all for Burnsie! Should have never traded him. Still the best Wild draft pick not named Kirill.

Burns signed a one year deal with Avalanche.   So far it's very much like the Twins.  Always an excuse why they can't find or sign big name impactful players.  Same old thing.  Over hype what you have and blame poor play on injuries, bad luck, officiating etc.  Not much has changed with the Wild.  After months of hype and hope about free agency spending they pick up leftovers.  I haven't seen anything yet that makes us better than last season.
