Maybe after Burrows comes back from injury he will be put on the 2nd line.. and then we will see a chainge..
How does what you are saying make any sense. On one had you believe Kesler is good enough to be a #1 center in this league, on the other hand you believe he needs good players to play with him to succeed. Why does he need Burrows? Why can't he do what Henrik's done with various other wingers?

Answer - he's not good enough to carry a line as a center, admit it....

He's good enough, but he's more like Stamkos, he needs a guy like St. Louis to be the perimeter guy or puck carrier. Kesler excels when he's shutting down the opposition and going to the dirty areas and finding open shooting areas on the ice where someone can feed him the puck.

No, Kesler is not as good as Stamkos, just a similar style of player offensively.

I really don't see Ehrhoff being moved after Buffalo just ponied up $18M for the first two years of his deal.

Could be a tough sell to ownership!
