Devron Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Wow! Good of him to tell them though as his contract expires this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Money Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Dallas may be well served to move him for a younger defenseman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post DeNiro Posted January 7, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 7, 2022 This has an Edmonton overpayment written all over it. Barrie, Broberg, and a 1st? 1 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuxfanabroad Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Benn & Sequin almost 20 mill of AAV? Nice to see the Stars bathing in BS Reminiscent of the town they left(Minny), who wound up taking a bath in 2 atrocious contracts, & screwed for the next 3 yrs. This guy knows they got no wriggle-room, so he wants to go wherever he can cash in. Could see him wind up in Philly(Ellis deal?) or perhaps Boston. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EternalCanuckFan Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 He's a pending UFA this summer so I guess he just wants to go to a better situation earlier? His $4.25M cap hit will be hard for many teams to fit but not impossible. I wonder if Seattle would have interest (although I would imagine not much interest from Klingberg?).

Barrie allows them to have a puck mover to at least partially replace klingberg. They are still trying to make the playoffs. Broberg is far from a bust at this point. Could do well in an environment that isn’t known for ruining prospects. Could be a good fit with Heiskanen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Provost Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Friends with OEL and they would make just a fine pairing. Poolman or Hamonic for Klingberg If we actually wanted him we could really probably get him at a reasonable deal during free agency. Not really a defensive stalwart, but an upgrade on Poolman/Hamonic if we could ditch their cap hits. https://www.bardown.com/oliver-ekman-larsson-pranked-john-klingberg-by-filling-his-hotel-room-with-1400-balloons-1.1305742 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barrie specializes in moving the puck to the other team. He is simply not an NHL quality player with how much of a liability be is in his own zone, and adding him hurts a team's playoff chances. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still don't think it's an overpayment... the only item of real significant value is that 1st round pick... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much more do you think a team would pay then that? I don’t see him fetching more than a late 1st and a prospect. Broberg is still a top 10 pick with lots of potential and that 1st could be high. A lot for a guy that you can’t even re-sign. Edited January 7, 2022 by DeNiro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hes still a top 4 defenseman in this league though. I doubt many contenders are going to offer them any sort of replacement D man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rekker Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 I like Kling, not sure he's what we need though. I would like to see a solid top four, shutdown dman added instead. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A 25 year old, 6'3" 190lbs versatile defenceman, that is a RHD top pair, capable of around 10 goals and 50-60pts per season? Sure as heck a lot more than a late 1st and a prospect.
