At this point, Andre Burakovsky isn't making things harder on the Capitals. He's making it easier.
The 19-year-old center, who's battling for spots on both the opening night roster Natrone Means Jerseys and the second line, did this on Thursday night (via ).
Burakovsky might have the Bryce Callahan Jerseys nastiest wrister of any Cap since Semin. (Might?)
JapersRink (@JapersRink)Coach Barry Trotz will decide Burakovsky's future on Friday. His main competition for the second-line center spot is Evgeny Kuznetsov, who, it should be noted, was playing between third-liners Jason Chimera and Joel Ward against Philadelphia.
Burakovsky, who had 87 points with OHL's Erie Kenneth Murray Jr. Jerseys Otters last season,was centering Troy Brouwer Los Angeles Chargers Sleepwear Underwear and Brooks Laich. Brouwer, for one, likes what he sees.
Hes a good player, said after Burakovsky totaled five shots and an a sist on Wednesday (via ). He sees the ice really well. Hes a fast player. Hes got unbelievable hands.
Hes fitting in well. He looks comfortable out there. I think hes Justin Jones Jerseys slotted in on our team on opening day at the Drue Tranquill Jerseys moment.
Given that Kuznetsov is a project himself, it's easy to see Burakovsky slotted for more than the opening roster. At minimum, he should get the obligatory nine-game NHL tryout before any full-season decisions are made.
