So they’re essentially swapping Barrie for Rosen and a 3rd. Plus they’re retaining salary. Youre telling me Benning couldn’t have swung a better deal? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avs are a team that makes smart calculated decisions Barrie IS testing FA so rip the band aid and send him packing and don't chance an injury. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ItsMillerTime Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Honestly I think its a bad trade for both teams. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too bad all the good available d men were in the West. Except Risto, I suppose. Edited July 2, 2019 by ilduce39 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaudette Celly Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 For everyone worshiping Sakic -- he got taken to the woodshed by Wunderboy. Now if Barrie walks as UFA, then it looks a whole lot more even. But right now? I wouldn't have traded Barrie alone for that whole package. Burnaby Joe must know he's ditching after next season, but would have thought he could do better than a hothead, aging prospect, and low pick. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laoag Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 The leafs are so desperate for cap space they gave up a 1st to get rid of Marleau. I dont think theres much hope for them to sign Barrie, this is a rental. home run for the Avs who have Bowen byram to grow into the Tyson Barrie role. Avs were never going to bring him back. Kadri is a pest player that they could hang onto for a while. Leafs future isn’t looking too good right now.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barrie was being shopped by the Avs because he wants to test FA They can always dump Nylander. If Toronto wants to re-sign him they’ll find a way. This deal makes no sense on Colorado’s end. It’s almost like they feel sorry for the Leafs D. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slegr Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Leafs seem to be putting their eggs into the 2019-20 basket, but their lack of grit might just see them miss the post-season. How sweet it would be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warhippy Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 (edited) The leafs will be unable to retain Barrie at all. Even with the retention. Barrie will be moving on and where oh where could a guy like Tyson Barrie end up. Hmmmm.... West coast maybe?

We have the door wide open, but never know what could happen. Could a year of incessant Leaf indoctrination sway him? Reilly's the only D they have signed past next season.
