Devron Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 I guess I gotta start warming up to the idea of Barrie signing. Looking like there’s a chance of this happening. Hopefully he works out on on a short term deal and we can also find a cheap Dman that can play defence 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GB5 Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 I don't think Barrie would improve our defensive play but he would really give an extra boost to the power play and even strength scoring. Should make for exciting hockey. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kobayashi Maru Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 Well if we sign Barrie and Hamonic they would offset each other nicely. Petro should be the number one priority however the following is not bad at all: Hughes Myers Edler Barrie Joulevi Hamonic 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobbyg43 Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 Some times it does not seem clear at outset what the day will bring . Barrie will bring pick moving out of zone trade off: he is below average Defender ( maybe staff can improve upon this ?) sign another cheap D who does play D to short term or show me to complement this signing if it happens.

If our “staff” is Baumer then expect zero improvement 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RakuRaku Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 We gotta get Barrie to help our right side plus PP... We let go Tanev and possibly Stecher too.... Only a Barrie signing would give the fans hope again!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were rumored to offer 2 years to Tanev. The advantage the Canucks have on D is that they can protect any defenseman they bring in since Hughes's exempt from the draft.

JB must have some restraints on him or something...I am very thankful that we didn't go crazy this off season, we do need to improve the D still and 1 skilled top 6 and a top 9 F would be nice. Maybe we can get a few 1-2yr cheap contracts for below value Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EternalCanuckFan Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 I am not a huge fan of bringing in Barrie but at 2-years between $4-5M, I think that would be fair. Despite his defensive shortcomings, Barrie is very talented and would give the Canucks another Dman who can move the puck up in different ways which will be important. I assume Barrie wouldn't be partnered with Hughes however, so I wonder what the Canucks have in mind for Hughes. I suppose Hughes could play with Myers and Edler with Barrie but I would be surprised if they went with a rookie pairing for Juolevi and Rafferty (if they don't re-sign anyone else). I'm very, very curious if they might be close to completing a trade that would free up some additional cap space and/or bring in a Dman on top of pursuing Barrie.

CanuckinEdm Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 (edited) Barrie and Hughes are the same player but if Hughes was a dumpster fire in his own end. Edited October 10, 2020 by CanuckinEdm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I would protect OJ but other then that lots of options back there. We are looking really good for the expansion draft in that regard 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
