hf101 Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 Wow. Burns is currently 31 years old and the Sharks resigned him today with an 8 year contract worth $8M per year. I'll assume it is front loaded, but wow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JR Ewing Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 I really like the player, but not that contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yave1964 Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 Does that mean the end for Jumbo Joe and Marleau? I would have to think yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TropicalFruitGirl26 Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 Just a bit more than what the Bolts gave Hedman. Victor also got an 8 yr deal, at 7.8M per...but then, Hedman is also 6 years younger than Burns. Burns plays a rugged tough style...hopefully that doesn't mean early diminishing returns from the player. He is an outstanding player and was well worth keeping. Even the 8 mil seems about what the going rate for a D-man of his caliber...but I have to question the term on a 31 yr old. I would have thought SIX years maximum...5 years ideal. Then again, if Burns was really wanting the 8 and the Sharkies didn't agree to that, he likely would have found another team willing to give him his 8/8. Good signing for the Sharks now. It may bite them in the dorsal fin after year 5 or 6, but hey, those are the risks when trying to retain a high caliber player like Burns for the long haul. Ryan Suter and Zach Parise (cap hit 7.5M each) say "Hi!" from St. Paul, Minnesota... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably. At least unless he takes a huge paycut. They have tons of caproom, so I don't see why they would not resign Jumbo. 20+ million in caproom and the guys they don't have under contract for next year are.....Jumbo, Marleau, Donskoi, Karlsson, Wingels, Tierney, Nieto. None of those guys are going to get 3 million + except Jumbo and possibly Marleau. Nieto, Wingels and Karlsson are being bumped out by up and coming kids. Donskoi hasn't scored enough yet to warrant a big raise. No worries. This is a terrific contract for a guy who would command 10 million + as a UFA. The term hurts at the backend, but that is a worry for a few years down the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
