Playing career

Burdasov began his KHL career by making his debut with Traktor Chelyabinsk during the 2009–10 season. After several seasons and a stint with Avangard Omsk, his trajectory changed following the conclusion of the 2016–17 campaign. On the very first day of free agency, May 1, 2017, Burdasov was traded by Avangard Omsk to CSKA Moscow in a deal that saw Dmitri Kugryshev and Semyon Koshelev move in the opposite direction.
During the 2017–18 season, Burdasov played a limited role with CSKA Moscow, appearing in just 12 games. On October 26, 2017, he was involved in a trade that sent him to Salavat Yulaev Ufa, with CSKA Moscow receiving Denis Kokarev in return.
On September 18, 2019, Burdasov signed a professional tryout contract with the Edmonton Oilers of the NHL. Although he made a good impression, he was released from the tryout on September 28, 2019. Shortly after, on October 5, 2019, Burdasov returned to Russia and signed a one-year deal with his former team, SKA Saint Petersburg.
Following three more seasons playing for SKA Saint Petersburg, Burdasov returned to the team where he began his KHL career, Traktor Chelyabinsk. As a free agent, he signed a three-year contract with Traktor on May 7, 2022.
After completing two full seasons with Traktor Chelyabinsk, Burdasov decided to move on following the conclusion of the 2023–24 campaign. On August 23, 2024, he signed a one-year contract with Barys Astana, the KHL team based in Kazakhstan.
