No. He has been good. The problem is the coach doesn't want to break up Lauzon and Carrier when he isn't forced by injury. It seems that Fabbro and Barrie are the two getting swapped out as extras. Barrie was scratched 3 of the last 5 games.
If one was to be traded, Barrie is the likely one. He was given permission to speak to other teams recently.
No. He has been playing some of his better hockey as a NHL player as of late. He is better than anything than Schenn has shown here but doesnt have the physical intangibles. He is better defensively than Barrie but Barrie supposedly is better offensively though that has been pretty much a wash this year. I think many of us are very frustrated at this point with how this is unfolding. As far as how pur RHD have performed, id say Carrier and Fabbro are on top with the rest at the bottom
There are "cherry picking stats arguments" that can be made that Fabbro is, in fact, the best defensive defenseman on the team. Yet our coaching staff doesn't seem to think that is enough to keep him on the ice. It's strange.
Yep and in 1998 I wouldn't have known the difference, but today, well I've watched just about as much hockey as many of the guys that are coaches and GM's. I might not have it all figured out but my eye isn't blind anymore.
Even if we do plain old eye test, i can say he isnt the worst defensive RHD we have on this team
