Daliwal: “Let me touch on a couple of things here. Kravtsov, 16 games, 1 goal, 1 assist, 2 points. Healthy scratch, last 2 games. My biggest question with Kravtsov, will the Canucks qualify him?
NHL Rumors: Philadelphia Flyers, Vancouver Canucks and Pittsburgh Penguins
This is the hockey club, the Canucks, that counts every penny because of Cap’s issues. So will you stick with Kravtsov if he’s not an everyday player next year? You’ve had a little peak and look at it. So I’d be really interested and see if the Canucks qualify him.
Sekeres: “Travis Dermott too, isn’t he Ricky?”
Dhaliwal: “He’s an RFA. Travis Dermott is another guy, for sure, I want to see what happens with him.
Kyle Burroughs. Let me say this about the guy Kyle Burrows vs. the 6′ 5″ guy. He’s 5 11″. What he did, you can’t buy that at the hockey store. That’s all heart. The kid’s from Langley. They haven’t spoken to his agent Ross Gurney yet. I don’t know what’s going on there. Maybe, I’ll guess, maybe they know they got a chance to replay Lock Shin. I don’t know.
But Kyle Burrows, age 5, 11, is tackling the 6-to-5 guy, joining his teammates. Nobody sticks to their teammates like Kyle Burrows. It’s personal and personal. Hockey Go do some research on the Western Hockey League’s Bantam Draft and see how often GMs or scouts use the word letter. Well, you know who has a personality? Kyle Burroughs.
But I don’t know what will happen there. It’s Ufa. We’ll be watching him all summer, too.

Ethan Bear, they’re starting to talk to him again. It’s RFA.
So there’s a lot of contractual stuff going on with the Canucks.”
