Looks like Burkey is really trying hard to make the Pirates more successful! smile.gif pirate-ban-.gif

So here's what Hockeysfuture.com has to say:

"Brandon Segal has soft hands in close quarters and is a willing combatant along the boards and in front of the net. He shows the ability to be at the right place at the right time and score goals when given the ice time and opportunity.
His on-ice awarenes both offensively and defensively are generally solid and he seems to find cracks in the defensive coverage.

His stickhandling and passing are both good but he's seems to be at his best when he is cycling the puck along the boards. His positioning and foot work allow him to create chances when he is moving the puck in the trenches.

Shows true character when sticking up for teammates whether they were justified in thier actions or not. He is certainly not afraid to drop his gloves if needed and will dole out some punishment with his hitting prowess as well.

There are some aspects in his overall game that need improvement if he wishes to make the jump to the NHL, like his foot speed when coming off the boards and driving towards the net could have more explosiveness. Although he has a fine skating form he seems to be missing another gear."

Looks like he could've been drafted higher for his stellar performance in 2002 and I'm just wondering why his stock fell. I think this could be a potential steal.

This is interesting....I know Dineen put in a request to get bigger and stronger but if this team develops it could be a good year.

Ebbett, King, Dixon, Segal with Ryan, Miller and Carter.....Could be exciting.

Sounds like a Burke type player. Can the explosiveness be something that develops if it hasn't done so since 2002?

No, This trade was done with the Pirates in mind.

Most if not all the UFA signings and trades have Portland in mind. They working now to fill out the Pirates roster before July 1st while building some depth in the Ducks org. They will deal with Anaheim's needs on July 1st.

Anaheim won't have to fill many holes, but the Pirates have to rebuild a whole team.
