The Sens signed the veteran to a two-year extension Tuesday after orchestrating a trade for the longtime Canucks agitator on Monday, sending prospect Jonathan Dahlen to Vancouver in return.
The deal runs through the 2018-19 season and features a 10-team no-trade list. Additionally, Burrows, 36, will earn $2.5 million annually, the club announced.
While general manager Pierre Dorion believes the veteran experience will help his club down the stretch, the trade wasn't so well-received by the hockey world.
In 55 games this season, Burrows has scored nine goals and added 11 assists.
