Senators' Alex Burrows: Sent to Ottawa

Burrows was traded to Ottawa in exchange for prospect Jonathan Dahlen on Monday, Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun reports.

Analysis:

The Senators have decided to deal a potential future piece for a veteran presence in an attempt to win now. Burrows decided to waive his no-trade cluase for the deal and is expected to ink a two-year contract extension with his new club. The 35-year-old winger has tallied just 20 points through 55 games this season, but the move to a more potent offensive team should provide a brighter outlook on his fantasy prospects the rest of the way. It seems highly unlikely he will make it to Tampa in time for Monday's game, making Thursday against the Avalanche the most likely date of his debut with his new organization.
