And the same ones who said Ceci and Barrie wouldn’t improve the Leafs D.LMAO so many of these posters were the same ones saying "Toronto lost their best D-man in Gardiner in the offseason."

I think at the time Brannstrom was a top-15 prospect. Clague is more of B prospect, as far as I know. A 1st and a B-prospect isn't an insane ask. The Leafs got Clifford, so it doesn't have to be Reaves. Maybe, that is enough. Add it to something else and maybe the Leafs can get someone else with term.
He's a defensive liability. Yes he can score and move the puck but he's basically a better gardiner.
And mark stone got a 2nd+branstrom and he was also traded right at the deadline with an extension.
Must be a troll then.
Understood
Ingnored list...engage!

I have never made that statement,nor do I believe that you are a Leaf fan. Both are reasonable to some fans while others claim that only Leaf fans would make an outlandish claim when that is obviously not the case. We can both agree on than my objectivity. Cheers!100% agreed. As you said, leaf fans try and fill this part of the boards with ridiculous claims.
A 1st, a 2nd, and a good prospect for 20 games of Barrie is reasonable to these leaf fans, all while a better, younger defenceman, signed for term, is only worth Ceci/Jobnsson/Bracco/2nd.
But at least you admit, it’s not even shocking to see these types of posts among that fan base anymore. Kudos on the objectivity. Cheers
The boards were singing his praises while he was a Leaf.LMAO so many of these posters were the same ones saying "Toronto lost their best D-man in Gardiner in the offseason."
So he’s fit in horribly and not played well, but has maintained all of his value....which according to you quite high for a rental.Barrie has been a terrible fit on the Leafs but he still holds trade value. He would get a 1st, 2nd and a couple of warm bodies type return or its player for player. The Leafs would then use some of those assets on a defenseman that is a far better fit.
All the people saying they are giving up makes me laugh. They are being very smart about this.
They have an asset that has value in the open market that is of greater value to their team. move that asset and add an asset that is of better value in that spot.

Barrie unextended is not getting a 1st and a b prospect.
As for your Barrie extended getting 1st, b prospect and young roster player....which one is 33-year-old Reaves? Is he the young roster player? The b prospect? The 1st? Reaves is a valuable physical presence on Vegas. And which one is Hague? The b prospect? If he is a b prospect then what is Liljegren? A c prospect? What a joke.

I prefer Jake -- but for any lingering effects of his back injury.Barrie this year is worse than Gardiner last. He's a better shooter, that's about it.
I have a hard time imagining that there's a lot of value in the remnant of Barrie's contract, but if the Leafs trade him for whatever they can get I'm all for that.
I enjoy watching Leafs games and I don't see anything in Barrie that really helps them all that much.
I'm okay if they keep him too, but when I see the prices mentioned here I think that looks like a pretty good return for this player.
The way your defense has played this year they might be right.LMAO so many of these posters were the same ones saying "Toronto lost their best D-man in Gardiner in the offseason."
Do you watch many Leafs games?The way your defense has played this year they might be right.
Otay.
Imagine panicking into dealing a 1st rd pick because Tyson Barrie is the “missing piece”...lol.
Oh and the Shattenkirk example, that’s the last rental D that was moved for a 1st. I think you’ll see that move has been viewed as a spectacular failure and as a warning against moving a 1st for a rental D. So, that kinda backs my original point, no?
Never understood him as a Target for Dubas
I just remember when the trade was announced, I just could not understand Barrie at all being a target except for his handedness, and that's it.
