Brent Burns has signed a one-year, $1M contract with the Colorado Avalanche for the 2025-26 season. At 40 years old, he brings experience from three seasons with the Carolina Hurricanes. In 2022-23, Burns recorded 61 points, but last season diminished to 29 points. Despite a decline in stats, Burns will bolster a defense that includes Cale Makar and Devon Toews. He expressed eagerness to contribute, share energy, and learn from teammates while acknowledging his positive experiences with coaches like Rod Brind'Amour.
"I just want to come in and join the group to fit in... I just want to bring some energy, bring some fun, some experience. Obviously, there's a lot of guys there that I can learn from..."
"I can't speak highly enough about him [Rod Brind'Amour]."
