Kesler is.

He's had to switch positions to make the whole top 6 forwards situaiton work for everyone so I would say him.

I'm listening to the team 1040 too!

Kesler

Burrows is. He's the one who's made the biggest splash out of all 3 this season.

but it still comes down to the nucks

We all know how a lot of bottom feeders start to play really well when they are out of the playoffs and play the spoilers. And the Canucks always seem to have trouble w/ the bottom feeders. They have to keep playing at a high level and we should be fine. I don't really think the schedule will make a difference.

That is true, let's hope that doesn't happen!

I disagree - No disrespect to Burrow's game - but he's getting minutes on the top line and he had seized it which is great. He's getting top line minutes and he kills ther PK and forechecks and all that jazz...I just think Kesler does a better job of it.

Kesler has moved to the right side which is not his natural position to cater to Sundin and Demitra making him more valuable to this team.

he's got better number too - 10 more points and way less penelty minutes/

But I say Burrows has made a bigger splash, despite Kesler w/ points is because Kesler is a 1st Round Draft Pick who people have known will grow into his potential. Burrows started out as a plug who only started making waves as of last year when he had to prove he deserves to be a Canuck.

His only goal was to not be a dispensible commodity. Probably play 3rd or 4th line and not have to worry that his roster spot was in jeopardy. Now, not only is his roster spot solidified, he's playing top 6 roles and have the offensive contribution to boot.

We're happy w/ Kesler's progress, our drafts didn't turn out to be a bust, and was a sound investment of time and patience. In comparison, Burrows progress in skill, role and displayed capability is just mindblowing.

Kesler has been getting PP time all season long has 7 power play goals and probably even more PP assists. Burrows on the other hand has just recently seen power play time.....just sayin.

suprasian 03-18-2009 04:43 PM

out of the 2 i'd have to say kesler. how many times have we seen him grimace on the bench in pain but not miss a shift. he does it all. plays the pp pk even strength. burrows has have a good spurt the last 4 weeks or so but i think kesler has been more consistent. if i could, i'd give it to both as both are insanely valuable. kesler also takes faceoffs, burrows doesnt. but burrows seems to be more clutch. aaaahhh its a great arguement to have

Harvey Specter 03-18-2009 05:31 PM

Flames sure look nervous tonight haha.

iwantaskyline 03-18-2009 05:48 PM

I hope Burrows and Kes don't turn out to be our versions of Vermette and Fisher next season.

"That's what we need everybody to do," said Kesler. "If we're going to win the Cup, we need guys to take pay cuts.
The way the salary cap is now, you really can't get what you're worth now if you want to win. Everybody in this lockerroom knows that and for us to be a great team going forward, we're going to have to take a pay cut."


"I want to play here for a long time," said Kesler. "I think we can win with the group of guys we've got here and that's the important thing. I like the direction. We're not in a rebuilding phase and I like that this organization wants to win badly."

Hondaracer 03-18-2009 09:05 PM

Kes and Bur are going to be the new faces of this franchise in the years to come, a great thing to have hard working players like them representing out city

Kesler is saying that now but he's a RFA after next season. We'll find out if he's true to his words.

Harvey Specter 03-18-2009 09:29 PM

It's all about money at the end of the day.

Well Gillis isnt going to let him start next years training camp without a deal done, guaranteed he will have a new contract this summer
