I don't recall many/anybody saying that the contract was generous or overpayment back then though. I don't think you're giving Burrows enough credit, Anson Carter he is not. Burrows at 4.5M is fair all things considered. Some bonehead GM would have thrown 5M at him next year during UFA. IMO his 'true' worth should be between 3.5-4M, which is where he will land after the the salary roll back. Quote:

I figured it would take at least 6M/yr to get him out of Phoenix, I would gladly pass at that price. 4.75M/yr is pretty close to the $4.6M that the Canucks like to impose on most free agents not named Daniel or Henrik |
