EDGE Analysis

At 35 years old, Bourque heads overseas after recording 163 goals and 153 assists in 725 NHL games split between the Blackhawks, Flames, Canadiens, Ducks, Blue Jackets and Avalanche. Djurgardens courted the veteran in the wake of an injury to right winger Daniel Brodin, but the Swiss club is excited about the leadership that the Alberta native brings to the table.
