Avalanche Sign Potential Hall of Fame Defenseman Brent Burns to One-Year Contract
- On Wednesday night, the Colorado Avalanche announced they had signed 40-year-old defenseman Brent Burns for a single-season deal as he prepares for his 22nd NHL campaign.
- After completing his tenure with the Carolina Hurricanes, which spanned the last three years following over ten seasons with the San Jose Sharks, Burns entered free agency when his eight-year contract averaging $8 million per year expired.
- Last season, Burns played all 82 games for Carolina, scoring six goals with 23 assists, logging 20:57 of ice time mostly alongside Jaccob Slavin as a top-pairing defenseman.
- Burns has played 925 consecutive regular-season games since November 2013 and has amassed 261 goals and 910 points across 1,497 career games.
- Joining the Avalanche, who won the 2022 Stanley Cup, gives Burns a chance to pursue his first championship while adding size and right-handed depth to Colorado's defense corps.
