The San Jose Sharks have traded Norris Trophy winning defenseman Brent Burns to the Carolina Hurricanes. Here I break down the deal and discuss the impacts on both the Sharks and the Hurricanes. Now, Carolina will need to upgrade their forward group — having lost Vincent Trocheck & Max Domi to free agency; they also need to sign Martin Necas. As for the Sharks, they now have some cap space, so it’ll be interesting to see which remaining free agents they target (if any). What are your thoughts on the trade? Comment below, and stick around for more coverage throughout the NHL offseason!

Hello Nick! So burns went east coast?!? 🤔
1. Your video quality has stepped up big time since I fist watched you.
2. I don't like this trade for the Sharks, although we won't be competitive for a few years so prospects are huge right now.
Silicon Valley -> Pinecone Valley
I knew Burnsy would be traded.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
They should have traded Burns before last year's season start. His 5 on 5 play has almost always been greatly deficient. It's time to move on. I wish all the best to Mike Grier, he's got quite a job in front of him and it will be interesting to see who he picks as coach.
Good for Burns, I’m happy he left for a cup chase sooner than Marleau and Thornton did. Still sad to see him leave, he was my favorite shark for a very long time.
The Canes have added some great players, but they also got ride of some great players. I wonder if this is going to mess up the chemistry of the team that has been right there for the last few years.
Both happy and sad at the same time
Tank hard for Bedard. This never would have happened under DW
Ehhhhh Worrdd Nick you wanna buy my Adidas Burns jersey??
Now Bring back Braun pickles needs him
Good for Burns. He has a better chance to win the cup with Carolina then with Sharks.
I was so happy I was able to say hey twisters LOL I think the Sharks have to unload to rebuild even though as a fan you want them to hang on to those loved names as a player.
Why would the canes want Brent burns I guess to replace deangelo
Burns is an icon, he has such a great and unique personality, he was kind of Mr. Sharks for so many years, even if he's on the Canes now we all still love him, we'll miss you Burns!. Thank you for your time Burnzy win a cup for us!
