What if we used Barrie for a left side one-timer threat on the 1st PP?
Would that improve PP1 or no?
I already said he should be first powerplay and no agreement around here

Who would give big money to the Barrie we've seen up to this point? I think Muzzin is carrying him.
Barrie is like a RHD version of Gardiner with the same level of mistakes without the crisp transition. So all the negatives no positives. Will be happy to move on from him. By the looks of things we will be in a life and death fight to make the playoffs and if we don’t make it it will be nice to trade him for futures. Total junk.
I don't think Leafs were ever going to re-sign him. He's here now because he's only making 2.5 per with the retention? He plays well he gets 7-8 plus he plays bad why do you want him? If he's just average why sign him again especially as someone will over pay him next off season?

Ooof on Barrie so far. Not sure he is the kinda D man we needed, other than being a right hand shot.
Gardiner was way better
I thought many fans were happy with the trade? Seemed like that not that long ago. So, are we now saying we gave up a pretty good piece (Kadri) for a weak defender on a one-year rental contract? Ouch.
OK, but why not keep a decent center (2C on most teams) with a reasonable contract, or at least get a better player back in a trade? Its not like we couldn't have done those things, or that we didn't have other options. I'm looking at this from an asset management perspective, not as a Kadri fan.I don't care about Kadri, I soured on him, it's just that maybe Barrie is not what we needed.
I swear they differed way too much to his handedness (right shot) and not enough to the type of player they actually need.
I can't wait to move on from Barrie and his $2.5 million cap hit or whatever. Utterly useless.
Wrong^
Your main premise is that we took on 1.75M but not to ***** about Marner making 10.893M? Kerfoot for Kadri was close enough to a wash if Barrie is anything we win. Unfortunately Barrie is hot trash right now.
Dubas goes and gets a RHD everyone (including yourself) begged him for while banishing a player would missed 2 playoffs in a row and you think it’s his worst move ever? I’m not blaming him, I loved Kadri, but it was the situation he was in.
Did you think you were getting Chris Pronger or something. We needed defense, is Barrie defensive! You don’t know how how things usually work on ifs and buts or what. Not good and that applies to everything not just hockey
What’s his cap next year?I can't wait to move on from Barrie and his $2.5 million cap hit or whatever. Utterly useless.
You’re joking right? Your 20/20 hindsight vision is remarkable.
Almost the entire board was stoked AF to see Barrie and how he was “our best RHD in a generation” or whatever.
Marner is the core issue. He ****ed us and this is all his fault. Am I doing this right?

I wasn’t and I’m not a sheep. I don’t care what everyone thinks at times
Personally i believe 8@$10,000,000 is the number that is reasonable.

If Barrie came as advertised, even a bit worse, we won that trade. That’s my opinion. Kadri was public enemy number one and looking back at your post history I agreed with you. He was just a victim of circumstance.
I’ll stick to my main point, Marner is the problem with the cap. Here’s your opinion:
Well, it came in at 10.893x6. Over 8 that would be an extra million at least. 1.893M on one player is much more of an overpay than the 1.75M we ate in the 2 for 1 trade.
Marner is second highest scoring right winger in the league right now and will likely be #1 by seasons end. I don’t really care if you like him. I do
Sorry but having Kadri instead of Barrie AND Kerfoot isn’t a win here.
