hockeyville88 Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 News1130 Sports @News1130Sports #Canucks forwrad Alex Burrows agent Paul Corbeil tells CKWX talks are in the intial stages for a new deal for Burrows. Corbiel says the #Canucks called him 2 weeks ago and expressed interest in getting a new deal done. Burrows is a u-f-a next summer and has set himself up for a nice pay day. Corbiel says Burrows #1 choice is to re-sign with #Canucks. Corbiel says the 2 sides have not talked #'s yet but you gotta think when they do - the #'s won't be small. Get it done MG. This guy deserves a fair contract this time around. I love the Canucks but....if Burrows goes, my loyalties to the team will as well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thunder Bunnies Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Good to hear, hope they start working on a new deal for Edler too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special Ed Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 I like burrows but can't help but think the Sedins boosted his play. He should get the salary of a 'good' second liner IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Versace Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Probably 3-4 years at around 3.5-4 per season. No more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

n00bxQb Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 3 years, $13.5M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opmac Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Multi-year deal at $4.1 million sounds good for me. I just hope Burrows' agent doesn't gouge the Canucks saying "you better give my client market value after playing the past four years well below it".

CHIPS Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 At least $4m a year. He deserves it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiCHC3 Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Honestly as much as I love him, I think it's a good time for him to bank what he's really worth. I can't believe he signed for so low, but it kind of feels like we took advantage of him. If another team can offer him better then all the power to him.

gizmo2337 Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 I can't seem us offering more than Kesler money as the top end. Clearly, he is worth more than 2M, which is way beyond a discount IMO. There would probably be a team on the open market willing to offer 6M would be my guess. With all that in mind, I think he will sign with us in the range 4.0-4.5M for 3-4 years, which is pretty fair.

zombieksa Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 If Bieksa can be given a 5 year contract at 30 years old, I see no problem with giving Burrows a 5 year contract at 31 years old. 21M over 5 years @ 4.2M/yr although for burr I'd go as high as 5M a year.
