Burroughs, 28, appeared in 73 games with the Sharks last season, registering two goals and eight points with a minus-42 rating.
The 6-foot right-shot defenceman is on the second season of a three-year, $3.3 million deal with an annual cap hit of $1.1 million.
Drafted 196th overall by the New York Islanders in 2013, Burroughs has five goals and 19 points in168 career games split between the Colorado Avalanche, Vancouver Canucks, and Sharks.
