Its not just the move to aquire Barrie, over all the Leafs got softer outside there top 2 they have a terrible 2nd and 3rd defense pairings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twilight Sparkle Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Even if Barrie tests FA, the Avs shot themselves in the foot. Leafs got rid of the one guy weighing that team down and is now COL's problem XD Kadri will be good for the regular season but come playoff time, that guy will implode 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gizmo2337 Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Anyone think that Sakic wanted Barrie sent east? Any chance we could now get him from the leafs instead? I doubt other GMs saw this one coming. JB should get creative here and swing a deal. Tanev (50% salary retained) plus prospect for Barrie? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also Kerfoot is a tad overrated here. The Avs just barely squeaked into the playoffs. You really think adding Kadri will offset losing Barrie? He’s a huge part of their team, and now they have to throw Girard or Makar into the deep end and hope they can fill that role. They may end up being fine, but I also wouldn’t be surprised if they miss the playoffs in their first year without Barrie. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goblix Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 1 minute ago, Hutton Wink said: It's $11mil on 22 contracts so only adding one more, but have to figure Marner will be 8 figures unless they're doing some sort of bridge. Ceci is also reportedly getting $4.5mil, same as Zaitsev. Would think Kerfoot will get something similar to Kapanen and Johnsson. Hmm forgot they still have Horton in IR retention this year which would free up 5.3m not entirely sure how the cap magic works with these perma injured players but I'm assuming they will be able to skirt around and get that 5.3m available. so they still need to do some work on the cap but they aren't in as much trouble as i initially thought. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barrie had no interest in an extension with Colorado. The Leafs are desperate but have no cap space with a TON of holes to fill. Can't re-sign him even if they wanted to. 100% on good authority Barrie is going to FA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomatoes11 Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 (edited) Reilly and Ceci and Muzzin and Barrie is a great top 4 people lol its much better top 4 than ours and and we have people willing to offer offer sheets of four 1sts and saying trading away 1st round picks for Miller is good for us. If we had that top 4 we would already be planning the parade based on the above reactions. Edited July 1, 2019 by Tomatoes11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For all anyone knows the Leafs could flip Barrie at the deadline, or could trade someone else to re-sign him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have a top 4 with 2 righties and 2 left but they are also weaker down the middle. Fair trade off you might say but there's more..... 11 mil cap space remains with Marner (who wants it all), Ceci, and Kerfoot left to sign. Something still has to give.

Simple 1 + 1 = 2 Two seasons for Girard and 10 games for Makar is an emergence? There’s no guarantee he’s ready no matter how much people hype him. Same mistake the Oilers made for years by forcing their highly touted prospects into key roles. This definitely has the chance to backfire on Colorado. They’re going to miss Barrie. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be funny cause we’d only increase our cap hit by 750000 get Barrie and Toronto gets something good out of it too. Screw Sakic lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They may end up being fine, but I also wouldn’t be surprised if they miss the playoffs in their first year without Barrie. The Avs have dynamic young forwards. Timmins & Makar + Bowen Byram to keep the puck moving up ice from the D to replace Barrie.. And with less defensive risk than Barrie. It may take a year but that's fine. They got one of the leagues best 3rd line centres, really an absolutely ideal 2knd line match up centre. He's not the ideal young captain Bo Horvat is? And he is a sh!t. But he is not far behind talent wise. Might not even be far? He is a two time 30 goal scorer, and has hit 60 points in the NHL. Only 15 months ago. Bo has only done one of those things. You are under rating Kadri. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
