Feels like there's been barrie trade rumors for like 5 years.

It's the Avs game of musical chairs. First it was Stastny, then ROR, then Duchene, now Barrie.

 

[Superlative Soup]

Benning just reeks of desperation at this point.

 

[Bonham]

Canuck's in on everyone.

 

[Boondock]

Something around the 10 ++ for Barrie and 16?

I am reluctant to put names to it, but something like:

To Avs: #10, 2020 2nd conditional if Barrie re-signs, Gaudette
To Van: #16, Barrie

I'm not opposed to this - fits a need and yeah desperate. Depends on the asking price

 

[Yatzhee]

Kick the tires on Risto, re-sign Edler then on to Barrie.

No lol. We wouldn't trade Barrie for futures when we're trying to move into contender mode.

 

[Captain Controversy]

Tanev + 10th for Barrie + 16 could be a good base.

 

[Avsboy]

Horvat would have to be in the deal. Barrie + 4th for Horvat + 10th?

 

[Superlative Soup]

Kick the tires on Risto, re-sign Edler then on to Barrie.

Settle for Zaitsev.

So a top pairing 60 point D is worth what is essentially 6 spots in the draft? Come off it.

Tanev + 10th for Barrie + 16 could be a good base.

Almost as awful as above.

that's horrid for the avs. Avs trade barrie so they can move up 6 spots in a top heavy draft where the players taken after 4 is essentially a crapshoot? And gaudette is a grinder and a 2nd is so meh.

Do better.

 

[Freaky Styley]

Sure, give us Horvat. No reason to trade him for anything less.

 

[Canada4Gold]

All the defenseman belong to the Canucks.

Not really enough.
Also the Avs are probably looking at win-now pieces (although there have been enough rumors about them wanting to move up to make a 10 and 16 swap somewhat sensible) which makes any deal between VAN and COL very hard to pull off. You guys really only have crazy valuable pieces like EP/Boeser/Horvat who are too good in return for 1 year of Barrie or pieces like Baertschi/Virtanen that probably are not that interesting to the Avs in return for Barrie.

I don't think the Avs will sign Barrie to an extension and I don't think Sakic will find an offer he likes enough for 1 year of Barrie unfortunately. Should have traded him a year or two ago probably but it is what it is.

Unless someone like Benning significantly surpasses the Trouba return or atleast offers a legit, young 2nd liner in return, I think the Avs will treat Barrie as their own rental next season.

Not happy about it but what I expect to happen unless somehow Barrie fetches way more than Trouba which is not impossible but also not all that likely given all the other options on the market.

Only thing I could see is that Barrie is a BC kid. So maybe he has indicated that he would be willing to committ longterm to the Canucks. If his agent would informally committ to that, things could change a lot.

But then it would probably have to be significantly more in return than the above.

 

[Superlative Soup]

0% chance Vancouver trades their next captain for a dman with 1 year until UFA.

 

[S E P H]

Tanev + 10th for Barrie + 16 could be a good base.

Lol, wat? Don't get me wrong I love me some Tanev, but come on man.

 

[notsocommonsense]

Benning just reeks of desperation at this point.

Because a bunch of “insiders” are tweeting out random rumours?

lol, ok. . .

 

[Canadian Canuck]

Horvat would have to be in the deal. Barrie + 4th for Horvat + 10th?

This is an insanely fair deal. Don’t want to trade Horvat though

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

Unless Avs wanna do a pure picks/prospects return, i think its a terrible idea by Canucks. There seems to finally be some excitement in Vancouver with the young forwards and giving up a major one for Barrie is a bad idea...

On the flip side i wouldnt trade Barrie unless a major young piece came back

Dont see it happening

lol not even close

 

[Joe Sakic]

If we trade Barrie, we’re dumb.

 

[TruGr1t]

Horvat would have to be in the deal. Barrie + 4th for Horvat + 10th?

I'd probably do this one, though it would suck very badly to lose Horvat.
