Jones, 26, collected 50 points (14 goals, 36 assists) over 217 career games with the Edmonton Oilers and Blackhawks. He is the brother of Blackhawks defenseman Seth Jones and son of former NBA player Popeye Jones.
Burke, 26, had a minus-1 rating in two games with the Avalanche last season. He had 39 points (16 goals, 23 assists) in 70 games with the Colorado Eagles of the American Hockey League.
Jones was assigned to the Eagles.
