Announces retirement
Burrows has decided to retire after 13 NHL seasons, NHLPA.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Burrows hangs up his skates having accumulated 409 points (205 goals, 204 assists) in 913 career contests between the Canucks and Senators. While few hockey pundits (if any) ever doubted his talent, Burrows occasionally tested the limits of the league's Department of Player Safety. According to Spotrac.com, Burrows forfeited $214,488 in fines and lost out on 10 games due to suspension over the course of his career -- most of the infractions resulted from roughing incidents. A separate report from the Canadiens notes that Burrows will join AHL Laval as an assistant coach.

Burrows spent the majority of the 2016-17 campaign with the Canucks, registering 20 points (nine goals, 11 assists) and 114 shots on goal in 55 games before being dealt to the Senators in late February. The veteran winger finished the season strong with his new club, notching 11 points (six goals, five assists) in 20 games. Burrows will likely skate in a bottom-six role while Ottawa is at even strength next season to limit his ice time, but he'll also likely occupy a spot on the second power-play unit, which should bolster his offensive production. The 36-year-old forward has limited upside, but if he’s able to avoid major injury in 2017-18, he could return 30 or so points alongside a credible PIM total, making him a decent bench option in deeper fantasy leagues.
