Super_Canuck Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 With Burrows entering the last year of his deal next season, signing him to an extension should be made a priority asap. The guy is my favourite player on the team and he's a heart and soul type player. So what do you guys think his value would be on the open market? or what would be a reasonable price for him to sign back with us? The guy gave the franchise a big time discount and he deserves to be rewarded for his loyalty. Guys like Malhotra and Raymond make more then Burrows which is a travesty. Burr is far more important to this team then those guys. I would have no problem giving him $3.5M-$4M/season. I hope he retires a Canuck. What do you guys say?

mpt Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 3.5 seems reasonable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thirteen Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 3M max. He won't take more or less. It's reasonable and he is still a team guy. Take less to win and 1M raise seems good enough if it means he can win to contend with the Canucks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaMacNamedDre Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Agreed, Burrows deserves more money than those 2 (not even a question) and really has been one of the few guys that seems to really care night in night out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry_Wilkins Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Sorry to say, but I think he gets $4 mil. And if the Canucks won't cough up, I'm sure quite a few other teams will. Why do I say he gets that much or more? Because he and his agent will want to make up for last contract's underpayment. It was four years at a bargain, after all. edit: For those who say no way, how do you justify Booth at the same $4 mil, after what Burrows has done for us, without putting Burr on at least the same level?

Lychees Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 He'll take 3.5m at most which is still underpaid by far for what he brings to a team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Loungo Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Yeah he definitely deserves at least 4 mill. Considering he was such a bargain for the Canucks, I don't see him underpaying himself significantly again. 3.5 would still be a steal for the Canucks. 3.5 2-3 years would be a very good contract.

Van_City123 Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Burrows for sure deserves at least 3 million or maybe more. After all he is mr clutch. All he does is score big goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hockeyfan90 Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 he's definitely underpaid so i would sign him around in the 3 mill range. He's score's clutch goals and has proven to be a goal scorer just his consistency needs to improve. $3.5 seems reasonable to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raiun Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 You know, I have to wonder. I think Burr could be a player that stays with us for the duration and takes a discount every time. Sure a lot of other teams would want a player like him, but he seems like the type of guy who really appreciates the opportunity the Canucks gave him since no one else was going to give him the chance, and is going to repay them with everything he has if he can. I think for him it's really, truly about the hockey, and not the money. Not in the slightest. He deserves it, definitely, but will he push really hard for it? Maybe not. The only way I could see him moving on is if the Canucks didn't want him anymore at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valentine Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 At 3.5 he'd be still be a steal. At 4.0 he'd be a great deal. At 4.5 he'd still be better value than a whole laundry list of established NHLers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NuxFan09 Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Some of you guys suggesting between 3 and 3.5 million are in for a big shock. Burrows will get at least $4 million and that in itself would be a good deal. His goal total during the last 4 seasons: 2011/2012: 28 goals 2010/2011: 26 goals 2009/2010: 35 goals 2008/2009: 28 goals Players who put up that kind of goal production over that long a period are generally good for north of $5 million. The only reason he likely won't get that is A) He's a team player and will probably take a discount again and He has shown he's fairly unproductive away from the Sedin line, although he is still a great defensive forward and PK'er. If Gillis can re-sign him to a deal 4 or 5 years long at $4-4.25 million per then I'd be happy. This guy is a true Canuck and should remain one.

Guest BuckFoston Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 3 to 4 million sounds great if the bonus comes out of Bieksa's paycheck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Carell Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Burrows plays his heart out every game. He's a great penalty killer, has hockey smarts, good hands, and a decent shot. Having said that, he is to some extent a beneficiary from the Sedin's level of play and this is shown through his goal totals. He realizes this though, and will not take more than 3.5 million a year. In the end, I believe he will get paid 3-3.5 million a year, which is a good raise for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RunningWild Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 He'll be 32 yrs old when his contract expires, definitely has to be taken into consideration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skks_King Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Let's ask Jobin In all seriousness though, Burr has been my favorite player since his first year as a Canuck when he played a shutdown role with Kes. Really hoping he'll stay with the team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Common sense Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 But do we really need him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hockeyville88 Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Agreed. Gotta get a deal done ASAP and it'll have to be a little more on the expensive side because his current deal is so ridiculously cheap given all he does on the team. He'd better not sign anywhere else. He's one of the heart and soul members of the team and our team needs him...and I just bought a $250 jersey of his Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
