Often times these decisions come down to one factor – can a player rebound – and that will be the case with Burrows. With 3 years and almost $15M left on his contract, one of the first decisions for Trevor Linden and whoever the GM in Vancouver turns out to be will be if the setback Burrows suffered was due to his play or John Tortorella’s system. Whatever they decide, a 30 point pace simply isn’t enough. However, would the Canucks want to pay Tortorella not to coach and Burrows not to play for the next 4 years?
