Continue arguing about how we can't sign anyone, will sign everyone, need to trade Barrie, need to keep Barrie and how THICC is enough.
You betcha!Continue arguing about how we can't sign anyone, will sign everyone, need to trade Barrie, need to keep Barrie and how THICC is enough.
Yeah, but doesn't Makar and the rest of the non-Barrie/Girard guys do it?No-one said Z is a a #1 guy. I think Makar can be that guy. I think he is already more responsible defensively than Barrie.
I listened to the suggestions of playing Barrie or Girard on the PK and didn't respond because it wasn't worth my time. We won't be winning many games if either of those guys are killing penalties on the regular.
Poke, did you seriously just put yourself on the list too?
It's either a joke or it's not. Which one is it?Poke, did you seriously just put yourself on the list too?

To continue the conversation from the last trade/signing thread, I was really sad when they killed off Ghost in Game of Thrones....
Folks hate having an above average d corps so much they feel the need to ditch Barrie as soon as we have our 7th competent defender?
If you think giving Barrie an extra million is going to hamstring this team financially you’re out to lunch. Love him or hate him he’s the best dman on the team still and losing him would be a step back.
It’s crazy how far this argument migrated from anything resembling a coherent thought process. Props to @cgf for having the patience.
“Barrie is worth 2/3s of Burns”
Good stuff.
Feels like Gatorbait and Patagonia must be pretty similarly minded, different people.
I suggest to watch the Sakic End of Season Presser 11:07-11:48. Sakic was very positive and excited about the future, except Barrie by responding with a delay and less than supportive answer.
"we get to that point we'll have conversations."
Barrie's contract signing windows opens less than 6 weeks (July 01st) away. Conversations can begin at anytime and a framework should already be in place. Doesn't seem like any positive progress or negotiations are not likely progressing.
Trade him at the Draft to maximize his value, it's doubtful an agreement could be reached and should be moved immediately.

These things do drag on a bit though, especially with players like Barrie when they're on Newport. You're way overreacting. Now, I'm not saying it won't be difficult, but it was always going to be difficult.
Dave Pagnotta on XM Radio suggesting the Avs will be a team that pushes very strongly for Brock Nelson should he hit free agency.
I'm indifferent to Pagnotta, but I think Nelson will come a lot cheaper than Hayes.
Also lol @ Nolan. Again.
