Barrie has scored 50+ points 3 times whereas Ehrhoff did it once in his career. Ehrhoff also played with the Sedins and Thornton and Marleau in their prime so it is comparable to Barrie in Colorado. And to Barrie’s defense, he never stated that Buffalo provided him with the best chance to win a Cup. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Borvat Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 1 minute ago, Canuckster86 said: I think that is what is happening here. He is showing interest, so the players or his agent hears that. We do NOT have the assets in the way of a 1st round pick plus to acquire him. Only way it could happen is if Tanev goes to TO and likely we need to add to him for TO to take that trade. The issue is that Barrie is likely a rental - he will want more than the Canucks can pay next year and someone with cap space will likely pay him. So that is why I don't think they should offer much more than Stecher and a B prospect and at most add a mid round pick next year. Stecher won't be back anyways and will be replaced internally (Rafferty or Tryamkin) or a by lower cost UFA. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tystick Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 Seeing all of these trade proposals by Toronto fans involving names like Virtanen, Gaudette, Stecher, Woo, Juolevi, etc. LOL. Barrie is not that important to our success and good luck getting something like that for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweathog Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 If we have to overpay for a defenseman I'd rather it be Manson rather than Barrie. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s Eastern media trying to up the value of a player that is having his worst season statistically. If it was in fact a sign and trade it obviously ups the value but there’s no way we’re giving them a premium for a player they can’t re-sign and are looking to dump. I would do Juolevi, Stecher and a 2nd in 2021 for a signed Barrie (if it’s less than 7 mil) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slegr Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 After watching Hughes all season, I have to say seeing Barrie play now is like watching a wannabe floating around out there. I hope the Leafs are stuck with him until they aren’t and he walks as a UFA. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

86Viking Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 Until Bob, Elliott or Pierre start tweeting some rumblings pagnotta or the other no namers spew means nothing to me May not be a popular choice, but with Toffoli being here, I could see JB letting go of Virtanen in the right kind of deal. For me that isn't Barrie tho, but if JV is cemented in a bottom 6 role it may be all JB thinks he can be so he may move on from him rather than try to make a deal in the summer with the future rfa...maybe that is! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tystick Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 LOL. Toronto fans are expecting players like Hoglander, Podkolzin, 1st round pick, Virtanen, Stecher, etc. for Barrie. Unreal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trebreh Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 Barrie is the type of D man that need a good shutdown or two way defenceman paired with him to excel. The problem with him was, the Avs team he played on didn't really have a good shutdown D man like Edler to play with and the Laffs are just terrible defensively as a whole. My sense tell me (Eliotte Friedman style) that JB think's he can be paired with Edler and pushes Myers down to the bottom pair with Fantenberg to give our top 6 a good balance of offence and defence. I like Stecher as much as the next guy, he's a character dude. But we need more than characters to win the Cup. Depth and scoring wins championships in today's NHL. Edler - Barrie Hughes - Tanev Fantenberg - Myers This gives us more options on the PP1 and PP2 and if *knocks on wood* Hughes misses any time in the playoffs we have another offensive Dman. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanukfanatic Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 Well this whole Barrie speculation is entertaining if nothing else. On the T.O. threads the fans are screaming that Barrie sucks. Then in the next sentence they say he is a top pairing D man so he should get traded for a BOATLOAD of value lol. [gets popcorn] 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
