Brent Burns

The Hurricanes are close to acquiring defenseman Brent Burns from San Jose.

Burns still has three years left on his contract with a cap hit of $8MM and with the Sharks not having a lot of financial flexibility, it was expected that they’d try to move one of their three pricey veterans on the back end. A three-time Norris finalist (and one-time winner), the 37-year-old is coming off a pretty strong season as he led all San Jose defenders in scoring with 10 goals and 44 assists in 82 games in 2021-22 while logging a career-high 26:09 per game. LeBrun adds ( via Twitter) that multiple players are involved in the swap.

The Carolina Hurricanes have acquired 2017 Norris-winning defenseman Brent Burns from the San Jose Sharks during the 2022 free agency frenzy.

So, while it is a big acquisition in terms of cap space, this is a move that could pay dividends for both Carolina and Burns. He can take on a reduced role that focuses on maximizing his offensive potential and letting his teammates cover for his defensive gaps. While he was the 2017 Norris Winner, he has struggled to live up to those lofty expectations after he signed an eight-year, $8 million per year contract in 2016.
