Avalanche Sign Brent Burns to One-Year Contract
Veteran defenseman Brent Burns, aged 40, has signed a one-year contract with the Colorado Avalanche for his 22nd NHL season after three years with the Carolina Hurricanes. While the financial terms were not disclosed, Burns brings the league's longest active ironman streak at 925 consecutive games, ranking fourth all-time. His offensive output has diminished, recording six goals and 23 assists in 82 games last season, but his durability and leadership remain assets for the Avalanche. Burns, a former Norris Trophy winner with 910 career points, is expected to play a secondary and special teams role as Colorado seeks another Stanley Cup run. His signing concludes his previous eight-year, $64 million contract signed with the San Jose Sharks. Burns adds valuable veteran presence and depth to the Avalanche blue line.
