I don’t watch much Letang following SJS so I can’t say who is better. I know Letang is a pretty good offensive dman. I also know he is oft injured and plays a more one dimensional game.
I can say Burns is a rarity in this game. To be 6’5” 230lbs and be as mobile as a winger ten years younger than him is crazy. He has improved his defensive game quite a lot, he does get caught cheating but that’s becuase his main objective is to score or set up goals. His hands, shot from the point, skating and passing are all still elite at 34 years old.
If I had to pick between them ten times, I’m taking Burns every single time. In terms of offensive production from the blue line the only defenseman that statistically can compare is his teammate Erik Karlsson. All this said, I don’t do advanced/fancy stats, I’m sure someone here can dig up a a bunch of numbers I don’t care to understand lol.
