Saw someone propose on twitter the Canucks picking up Burns and came here to see what it could look like.

Want to hear the input from both Sharks and Canucks fans.

The Sharks aren't really in a bind this year, but it's mostly about their future and how locked in they are to many contracts. Canucks are the opposite where they are being bottlenecked up until the Hughes and Pettersson contracts are signed for the 2021-22 season.

I propose a Burns for Myers (One year and $2M less) + Baertschi/Sutter/Beagle/Roussel as a base trade to this scenario.

I don't know San Jose's appetite to move Burns, but if they were interested this would probably be the way to go.

As for the garnishes, Virtanen and Stecher bring depth pieces at a cost controlled level that the Sharks don't really have in their bottom-six or bottom-four D. Same with the cap-dump player.

Yes, Merkley may have more potential than Stecher, but Troy can be entrusted with heavier/defensive minutes now and that's something that the Sharks need if they want to try and bounce back this upcoming season with their core still somewhat in their prime.

Maybe a First is too much, but Benning has been saying he's going to try and recoup a first or second round pick so that's why I added it. (It's going to be #29 or later anyways, so pretty much a 2nd)
