Why would he retire? Does he not lose money? Or is a buyout over 35 protective of him regardless of retirement?

Ring of Honour for the man without Honour.

It looks good on that sad-sack Franchise.

I hope they put Raffi Torres and Matt Cooke's names right beside his.

He's bought out. He'll get paid what he's owed but he no longer has a contract to play in the NHL.

Presumably, there was no interest from any team in signing him to a new deal.

Mark Spector is no good. Oh and Mark, off the ice he was beating up kids playing ball hockey.

Doesn’t matter. He was on a level of his own. One of the few times I could get behind fans in saying that a player is a piece of trash, as a person.

I think you guys are just being hard on him because of your disdain for the Canucks.

“O’Sullivan, who was verbally and physically abused for years by his father, revealed on Twitter Thursday that Burrows had used his past to threaten him on the ice when the two were opponents.

“Burrows only guy who said he wanted to hurt me like me father did — why I can’t stand him,” O’Sullivan tweeted. “Right to my face, twice actually. Once in the minors and once in Vancouver early in my career.””

He was basically the epitome of that team, so it makes sense that they revere him.

Yea it couldn't possibly be his open mocking of child and substance abuse coupled with biting and pulling the hair of other grown men.

We need to send the canucks a message by hanging Burrows from our rafters.
