We have guys in Abbotsford better than the Oilers right side. Barrie and Bouchard have no business playing in the AHL and have shown no signs of being willing to even try to learn how to play defence. Both those pylons are worse than useless and far worse than any of Schenn, Poolman, and Burroughs, all of whom are capable of playing in the bottom pairing without humiliating their team.
I'm not going to pretend to respect defencemen who can't play defence, period.
