How Canucks fans reacted to the Alex Burrows trade
So that’s it, the Canucks have traded Alex Burrows. We all knew they would of course, but after 12 years in a Canucks uniform it’s still tough on the fans.

Two days ahead of the NHL trade deadline, Burrows is no longer a Vancouver Canuck. He waived his no-trade clause and is on his way to join the Ottawa Senators.
In return, the Canucks will receive centre Jonathan Dahlen, a second round pick in last year’s NHL Draft.
But what did the fans make of the trade?
Some were sad to see him go…

Sad to see Burrows go, but this is something that should've happened years ago. Here's hoping he finds success in Ottawa.

Hard to replace the heart and soul of the #Canucks, but a very good trade for Vancouver. Gonna miss you Burrows. Thanks for everything https://t.co/7wt9dAlTIt

Burrows was a pest, a grinder, and invoked rage in his opponents but he meant a lot to the #canucks and it was a joy to grow up watchin him!

Burrows for Dahlen! Benning learned how to trade. Things just got interesting.#Canucks

I love Burrows to death but Dahlén is an UNREAL return. Way to go Benning! Now trade Miller too while you're on fire! #Canucks

Dahlen is an excellent return for Burrows. I'm actually impressed.

Others wondered what this means for other deals
So if Alex Burrows gets you that what is Hansen worth?
