Alex Burrows is the kind of guy the Senators would rather play with than play against.
That’s why he’ll be welcomed with open arms in the dressing room.
Thin up front with Clarke MacArthur out of the season with a concussion and Bobby Ryan sidelined with a broken finger, the Senators wanted to bulk up before Wednesday’s 3 p.m. ET trade deadline and Burrows is the kind of guy Ottawa feels it needs.
Coach Guy Boucher was on Team Canada's coaching staff at the 2012 world championships in Finland. There, he worked with Burrows and thought the world of him.
