For the first time since 2022, the Carolina Hurricanes will be without star defenseman Brent Burns. The 40-year-old departed for the Colorado Avalanche this summer, and in this story THN.com's Remy Masty looked at Burns' comments about participating in the Avs' training camp.

But we want your thoughts -- how well do you think Burns will fit in with the Avalanche this season? How many minutes will Burns play on Colorado's third defense pairing? Leave your thoughts on those topics, and anything else you want to talk about, by leaving a comment below.
