Patel Bure Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 (edited) [proposal] So........these Tyson Barrie to Vancouver rumors: Bob “double chin” McKenzie is reporting that the Canucks are inquiring about Tyson Barrie. Stecher+ would obviously be going the other way if the Canucks were to make a deal. If the Canucks were interested in signing Barrie beyond this season, then I think that would all but spell the end of Chris Tanev......which would result in the younger and cheaper Tryamkin assuming Tanev’s old role of being the defensive stabilizing presence. Rafferty would replace Stecher. I know there are many people in the Canucks universe that are arguing that, “the Canucks don’t need Barrie because they already have Hughes,” but I disagree. Adding more top 4 dmen to the line-up (particularly those like Tyson Barrie who will likely age well) is not a bad thing.....it’s a good thing. Canucks future defense (2021-2022 and beyond) Hughes-#### Tryamkin-Barrie #####-Rafferty Obviously - one of our Utica guys could fill in on that 3rd pairing and play with Rafferty, or we could get a cheap Jordie Bennish type guy on that 3rd pairing. Either way - finding a guy on that 3rd pairing won’t be an issue. What the Canucks would need in the future however (ie if the Canucks were to move on from Edler, Tanev, and Stecher, as to accommodate Tyson Barrie along with the other players on our team that would need to be re-signed and re-upped), would be a solid stay at homish kind of guy that could complement Hughes’ game. Like a younger version of Jake Muzzin or Brent Seabrook kind of guy. If the Canucks are getting Barrie *right now* however, then I think Stecher+ is gonzo, and it will also spell the end of Chris Tanev at the end of the season. I’d actually be in favor of doing this, provided that....... 1) Tryamkin replaces Tanev as far as being the stabilizing defensive presence goes: 2) The “+” that we’d have to add in with Stecher isn’t too crazy. Edit - I forgot that we had Tyler Myers. Hughes-Myers Tryamkin-Barrie #####-Rafferty Edited February 21, 2020 by DarkIndianRises 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alflives Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 If Barrie is playing top four minutes on your team, they will need their golf clubs early. He’s a role player, at best. Personally, I’d rather have Stecher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but is Tanev’s game going to age as well? I’m not so sure. This year has been an anomaly as far as his body goes. If the Canucks can add another top 4 quality dman, while getting a younger and cheaper Tryamkin to assume Tanev’s defensive stay at home responsibilities, then I would think that this might be a better way to go. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here’s what I read into this nasty “double chin” comment. Bobby Mac pointed out that Barrie’s current trade value is that of about Troy Stecher. Leaf’s fans now hate Bobby Mac, and start calling him names. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HKSR Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 I could live with Barrie if the price was Stecher+. I look back to the 2011 team and we had Ehrhoff and Salo. They seem redundant, but man what a threat the Canucks were with those two manning the points on the PP. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What top 4 defenseman can the Canucks get that plays like Tanev at under $6 million? Tanev and Hughes play very well together and why would you mess with the chemistry? Tryamkin is not guaranteed to be on the Canucks next year as he did not have a good year in the KHL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What insecure tough guy personna? Have you seriously not been to a bar before or been around a hockey or sports environment? People talk $&!# all the time but it’s never meant to be personal. It’s just good natured ribbing......although I do agree that there are douchebags out there that ruin it for people, and conceal their passive aggressive attacks under the pretext of harmless “rib” comments. To each their own though. I agree with you that being a dick isn’t healthy (although I wasn’t deliberately trying to offend anyone), but having the sensitivity of a 14 year old girl isn’t healthy either. Life is tough.

higgyfan Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 2 hours ago, DarkIndianRises said: Hughes-Myers Tryamkin-Barrie #####-Rafferty Hughes is a #1d who has had the freedom to play his offensive game due to Tanev's fantastic defensive work. Myers did not play well with Hughes and is currently playing on the 3rd pairing. Tryamkin is an unknown for NHL 2nd pairing. His defensive game is good, but is it good enough to back up Barrie's blunders? ##### will probably be an improvement over Fanta and Benn. Barrie is great offensively, but terrible defensively (even TO fans will tell you that and they are hoping for a great return). We have no idea what Rafferty will look like in the NHL. This d looks worse than the current bunch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
