For me that isn't Barrie tho, but if JV is cemented in a bottom 6 role it may be all JB thinks he can be so he may move on from him rather than try to make a deal in the summer with the future rfa...maybe that is! You could be correct on this. We already had too many forwards and then got Toffoli. It may be like you say and if JB thinks he can resign Toffoli another roster player is going to get moved. Could very well be Virtanen (although I would not much like it). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toronto fans are expecting players like Hoglander, Podkolzin, 1st round pick, Virtanen, Stecher, etc. for Barrie. Unreal.

I'm suspecting they have been humbled. But not humbled enough yet for my liking. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toyotasfan Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 I agree with Bieksa. 5 on 5 Stetcher is a better defenceman. How do you fit Barrie into your pairings ? The only place is in the bottom pairing, and his defence is suspect. If Toronto wants Stetcher they should be sending Barrie and a pick/prospect.

DeNiro Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 (edited) Mike Green scratched tonight. A cheap rental? Brings points and can’t play well in his own end. A much cheaper option. Edited February 24, 2020 by DeNiro 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tystick Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 If we're in a betting match between Vegas and Flames, I feel like we're the first team out. They have their 1st round picks and can offer a RD replacement better than Stecher or Tanev. Probably the best situation anyway. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huge overpayment for what is likely a rental. Wow just wow. Reeks of desperation if true.. Not happening. The benchmark trades are Miller and Toffoli. That should be the ceiling. Barrie does not warrant a 1st + top prospect + roster player. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tystick Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 Let's be real here, Barrie is not worth a 1st, high end prospect, roster player, conditional picks, etc. Benning, there are affordable options out there. DO NOT OVERPAY. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DO NOT OVERPAY. Agree completely. If we could do the trade for Stecher and a prospect (not pods or hogs) then we should. Otherwise, wait a few months and sign him for free as a UFA. He seems to want to come to BC. Edler Barrie Hughes Tanev ....pretty darn good top 4. Edited February 24, 2020 by Kanukfanatic 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No need to go all in for Barrie unless the price is lower. Does this make the Leafs sellers? That would be such great news. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, I think they would want Tanev before Stecher. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need Edler and Tanev to pair with these offensive high risk players. It has worked great for Hughes and Tanev and if we got lucky it would work great with Edler and Barrie. Edler makes every D he plays with better so I think it would work out. ...but only for a reasonable price as you say. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
