Burrows for Lazar.

 

[Mad Brills*]

Why would ottawa sign him to an extension?

 

[Gil Gunderson]

How effective is Burrows still?

 

[Hale The Villain]

I'm going to guess either Lazar or a 3rd+depth prospect

 

[TruGr1t]

How effective is Burrows still?

Still a good bottom six forward, especially defensively and on the PK. Will stir things up and pop in some offense sometimes. Plus he's got a lot of post-season experience.

 

[Sens With Benefits]

Why would they extend him, he's 35.

 

[KevinRedkey]

I hate Burrows, but he would be a decent addition to the bottom 6.

 

[Wingsfan 4 life]

Never heard of the guy either, but just mentioning extending Burrows makes me question how credible he is.

 

[Habitat]

Man i love burrows but its time to move on. Ottawa will love him in the playoffs espicially in the first 2 rounds since they dont have to play a metro team until 3rd round

Seems like an odd addition to the rumour if he were just making it up though.

 

[Aqualung]

Why would they extend him, he's 35.

Burrows is still an effective player on and off the ice. The issues mostly has been not being able to play up to his contract level. Even I would want the Canucks to re-sign Burrows if he was traded purely as a rental for a better contract.

 

[WisconsinDuck]

TFP saying VAN close to a trade as well

Where there's smoke...

RIP HFBoards

 

[Agalloch]

Burrows has a NTC and he said he would accept a trade for a good reason (probably with extension).

 

[KevinRedkey]

Would much prefer Hansen

 

[caley]

 

[Vesa Awesaka]

Man i do not want a 35 year old bottom 6er

 

[Agent Zub]

I'd much rather Hansen :/

 

[HawkeyTalkMan]

he wasnt lyin

#Sens are working on trying to finalize a trade for Alex Burrows.

 

[MR4]

Hope Boyle can ruin Burrows the next time we play Sens.

 

[Nordic*]

Jagr is 57.

 

[Foppberg]

Well.. Looks like Dorion got his Duchene

 

[ATypicalCanadian]

Sounds like we're getting close.

 

[Lobstertainment]

Why would ottawa sign him to an extension?

I guess because they'd want to keep him, seems like a risk though it'll leave someone else open for Vegas in the expansion draft.

 

[Hale The Villain]

I'd much rather Hansen :/

Hansen probably costs a 1st + more

Burrows probably only costs something around a 3rd or maybe Lazar.

Hansen is obviously the better player, but I'd much rather have Burrows at those prices.
