Jester13 Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Barrie had a boatload of points last year, so this is a win for Edmonton. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post King Heffy Posted July 28, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 28, 2021 This is great for their division rivals. Committing long term to a defenseman who can't play defense, leaving Nurse and an aging Keith as the only actual NHLers on the Oilers blueline. Looking forward to seeing our forwards expose this pylon. 2 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Semenko once quipped that a fire hydrant could score 20 goals playing with Wayne Gretzky. Connor McDavid, love him or hate him, is the modern day Gretzky. Barrie could be the fire hydrant and get the points he got last season simply by playing PP with McDavid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you have seen Barrie play defense then? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nave Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Although I think Barrie is a big part of that team, because of his chemistry with McDavid, I still think their defense has gotten worse overall. They literally don't have any solid defensive defenseman now that they don't have Adam Larsson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As many points as Barrie puts up, he still hurts his team with his outright refusal to even try to play like an NHLer in his own zone. He's a huge part of why their team sucks though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm kind of scratching my head as to what they want to do for their penalty kill, shutdown pairing, and the like though. Play Keith? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure he does, and gets scored on a lot less too with an actual NHLer on the blueline. Re-signing this piece of trash indicates the Oilers really don't care whether or not their defensemen can actually play defense. They'll probably try Bouchard, who disgraced his country at the WJHC with his atrocious play in his own zone. Soft, slow, and stupid, he's a perfect fit in Edmonton. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beni Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 He was a huge part of their team last season, not surprised at all. They are going to suck without any real defensive minded D though. But their D core isn't much different from Vancouvers right now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
