Burrows Resigns

Now, back to business...

The Canucks have done the right thing and re-signed Alexandre Burrows to a 4-year, $8 million deal.  I think he'll be effective come playoff time, assuming Vancouver stays in the Western mix. 

Instant Analysis: Good deal for both sides.  Burrows is having a career year, and hasn't been around the league that long, so its hard to say whether or not he will consistently put up the kinds of numbers he has been so far this season.  However, because of the other strengths in his game - most notably, his fighting and penalty killing, this is a safe enough deal for Vancouver.

Ah, Earth to Dominic Moore... you don't deserve a cent more than this guy.  Any team that gives it to you this summer should re-assess the abilities of their front office personnel.
