Colorado Avalanche

As a restricted free agent, Bourque was not tendered a qualifying offer to remain in Nashville, releasing him to free agency.^{[citation needed]}

Unable to attain an NHL contract over the off-season, Bourque agreed to attend the Colorado Avalanche training camp on a professional try-out contract on September 1, 2016.[6] After a successful training camp and preseason, Bourque agreed to a contract with the Avalanche in signing a one-year, two-way deal on October 10, 2016.[7] Bourque spent the majority of the season with the San Antonio Rampage of the AHL, scoring 33 points in 61 games.^{[citation needed]}

On May 24, 2018, the Avalanche re-signed Bourque to a one-year, $950,000 extension.[9]

Winnipeg Jets

On August 26, 2019, Bourque signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Winnipeg Jets.[10] In the 2019–20 season, Bourque made the opening night roster for the Jets out of training camp, and in a fourth-line specialist role made 52 appearances, in collecting 2 goals and 6 points. With the season paused due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Bourque made 3 playoff appearances in a qualifying round defeat to the Calgary Flames.

Later years

As a free agent from the Jets, Bourque was without a club for the entirety of the pandemic delayed 2020–21 season. He returned to the professional ranks, in securing a one-year AHL contract with home provincial club, the Laval Rocket, affiliate to the Montreal Canadiens on June 12, 2021.[11]
