By Bryan Reynolds -
It is not difficult to understand why Burns got the nod. Leading the team in goals, having a great year defensively, and finally coming into his own, like we always knew he could. Fully healthy for the first time in a long stretch, Burns is playing the game he is capable of, and is still getting better. Clearly a fan favorite, Burns finally gets the recognition he has long deserved.
Congrats, Brent. It is an honor well deserved.
I have not seen an official release from the team, nor from the NHL, but if Russo says it is so, you can bet that it is so. When the official announcement is made, we'll post the releases here for your viewing pleasure.
