The Ottawa Senators are working to acquire veteran winger Alex Burrows from the Vancouver Canucks, according to Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun.

Garrioch reports forward prospect Jonathan Dahlen is heading to Vancouver in return.

In addition to surrendering his no-trade protection with Vancouver to facilitate the deal, Burrows has apparently forfeited his chance to test the open market in unrestricted free agency this summer. Sportsnet's Dan Murphy is reporting that Burrows has agreed to a two-year, $5-million extension to remain with Ottawa beyond the stretch drive.

Dahlen was chosen in the second round, 42nd overall by the Senators in last summer's draft. He's scoring at close to a point-per-game pace this season with Timra IK of Sweden's second division.

Burrows has been with the Canucks organization for the last 14 seasons, and debuted for the club in 2006.

The 35-year-old has scored 193 goals and 384 points points in 822 games, and racked up another 34 points in 70 career postseason games.
