Coconuts Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Weird trade, Toronto's c depth takes a bit of a hit for an upgrade on D. Wouldn't be surprised if Colorado had been unwilling to trade him out west. Wouldn't be surprised if Colorado was unwilling to give him what he'd want in an extension either. Toronto gets a year of Barrie, maybe more if they can shuffle out Nylander. Wouldn't be surprised to see Barrie test free agency though, he'd likely be the best offense producing D to hit July 1st 2020. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trebreh Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Sutter + Sven Bae + 6th in 2020 was a better option IMHO. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beni Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Barrie makes the Leafs a better team. He is a dang good player, but they wont be able to afford to re sign him. Probably happy to be rid of Kadri at this point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's 100% testing FA at the very least, most likely coming to Vancouver though. So buzz? (Aka rumors) Not sure how you’re claiming 100%. Definitely not a guarantee.

Are we even going to be able to afford him, we already have 2x$6 million dollar Dmen, dont think adding a $8+ will be in the works, unless we can get rid of Eriksson, Sutter and trade Tanev for futures assuming we shut him down at or before the All Star break to make certain he stays healthy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One good thing for Toronto is it bumps Spezza to a more sheltered role instead of a shutdown guy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love berrie on this team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownUndaCanuck Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Terrible trade for Colorado, they were just starting to look decent up front then throw away their 60pt defenceman. Meanwhile Toronto shed Kadri and get someone to play D alongside Reilly, two of the best puck movers in the league but no decent shutdown D men still. Surely going to have to still move pieces around to fit Marner in though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I will be 100% shocked if ANY team let alone Toronto signs him before July 1, 2020 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Kadri gone and certainly a softer team now I don't see how this makes TO better. Maybe their defense is alittle better but remember they have lost Gardnier and other d man as well 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coastal.view Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 i don't think avs did as badly as being suggested what was the one major weakness in their roster? well kadri just filled it and comes with a very nice contract, hence the retention demand on barrie for 1 year he also adds some nastiness (which we all hate, except when that player happens to be on our team) avs are going to be a force this season they are a solid deep team with skill at every position and and very young and upcoming core they have a very bright future they paid a bit of a premium to get kadri but when you have depth, salary cap space, and are on the cusp of really taking a big step in team development that premium can be worth paying too bad the leafs are benefiting from the premium paid i will be upset if they manage to sign barrie to a new contract though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How sweet it would be. Leafs are as soft as 4-ply Charmin and as gritty as pumice. They got value, but is it what they needed? Who is going to play the heavy shutdown minutes in the bottom-6 and who are their shutdown D? Are they just going to outscore everyone so badly they need play no defence? Maybe it's a one-year rescue plan, to stall for time. $11 million in cap space now -- all going to Marner? And Colorado, why not use Barrie for the year and sell as a rental? Surely would get at least as much in return. Seems to be a lot more questions than answers here. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed... they traded out Soderberg and now Kerfoot and Barrie which were #4/5/6 on their top scorers of their season... on a team struggling for secondary scoring.... out: Barrie / Kerfoot / Soderberg in: Donskoi / Kadri / Burakovsky also not sure how Leafs are going to sign Kerfoot, Ceci and Marner with 11 mil in cap space Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toronto just got a gritty 60 point D man that can play 30 minutes a night. They just got way better. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
