After months of rumors, the Sharks would look to move on from 6’5, 230 lbs defender Brent Burns, I can tell you that he is going to be a member of your Carolina Hurricanes. Now, I know there are a lot of mixed feelings about this. He’s 37 years old and has long since seen his best hockey, but that is not what he is here for. If Burns goes back to scoring at a Norris level, that is a bonus.
What the Canes are asking their new top pairing defenseman to do is to score at the same rate he was doing in San Jose.
