There is no confusion. You don’t want Barrie. How can anyone be confused over your statement? Using +/- judging a player on an awful team is weak at best.

Is the confused emoji intended to show confusion over interpretation of a poster’s comment, or as a minus to their idea? Barrie is doing crappy right now, but has a history of putting up big numbers. Stecher for Barrie is okay. I don’t know if I’d want us to trade Tanev for Barrie though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Tryamkin comes back Benn becomes #7 and Fantenberg #8 or Utica bound. Defence massively upgraded. Don’t have the assets to acquire Barrie to play a bottom pairing role. Wait till the summer. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need what Tanev brings. He’s helping Hughes develop which is much more important long term. 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would prefer not Tanev for Barrie the emojis is for the underrating of Barrie on here. He's not worse than Pouliot etc as is being suggested by some on here. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Tippett quote - he was referring to his IHL days but it seems pretty actual. Kids now grow up modelling their games after Karlsson and the likes so systems adjust to players coming up through the draft. « We had a player that was supposed to be a great, shut-down defenseman. He was supposedly the be-all, end-all of defensemen. But when you did a 10-game analysis of him, you found out he was defending all the time because he can’t move the puck. « Then we had another guy, who supposedly couldn’t defend a lick. Well, he was defending only 20 percent of the time because he’s making good plays out of our end. He may not be the strongest defender, but he’s only doing it 20 percent of the time. So the equation works out better the other way. I ended up trading the other defenseman. » This was Peters on Barrie last playoffs: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanukfanatic Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 Having Hughes on the back end has already transformed how the team plays. Adding Barrie would double that output from the back end. It would be fantastic. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would do stecher but no way I trade Tanev for Barrie. He is so solid defensively...we need that imo. Having no good defensive defenseman is one of the reasons the Leafs suck imo. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanukfanatic Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 (edited) Edler Myers Hughes Tanev Benn Barrie That would be great. Rathbone and Woo developing nicely. You could always change it up too: Edler Barrie Hughes Tanev Benn Myers Give Edler less minutes than 25 per night. Good defence and offence on each pairing.

billabong Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 If anyone thinks Barrie isn’t better than how he’s playing now you’re delusional. He’s a 50 point dman playing in a abysmal system making him look bad the only problem I have with Barrie is the on-ice fit, our first pp unit seems pretty set and top 4 d when it’s healthy so that puts Barrie on the 3rd pair and 2nd pp unit to start? Sounds similar to the situation he’s in now 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
