No thanks from Ottawa. Bura doesn't produce enough offensively to deserve a spot in the top six, and the type of game he plays isn't conducive to a bottom six checking role. Pageau has put up similar numbers offensively, but he's done it by being hard matched against other teams top offensive lines and while being a key part of the Ottawa PK.

Ottawa sacrifices too much defensive security for a marginal improvement in offensive production in the bottom six.
