@TSNBobmckenzie

Bye bye, Barker

 

[D0ctorCool]

Bizzzow!

lolololololololololololololololol

 

[Dado]

Never ever liked his game, even when he was with Chicago.

Won't be missed.

 

[Bourne Endeavor]

Finally, good god was that brief experience enough to frighten everyone one. Maybe if AV stopped using depth defensemen as top four guys, it'd have worked.

 

[Addison Rae]

Yesss!!!!!

 

[SeawaterOnIce]

To be entirely fair, he wasn't really that bad in his stint here. Could be a solid #8/9 fill in Dman, but not all a player that should be playing top 4 minutes.

 

[Pip]

and people say that we wouldn't make a move to get better by the deadline

 

[DennisReynolds]

and people say that we wouldn't make a move to get better by the deadline

we didn't get better or worse

 

[Vankiller Whale]

This only makes sense to me if we intend to acquire another dman. Streit should be available...

 

[Taelin]

Addition by subtraction! Now we won't see fourth liners look like prime-Lemieux when playing against him.

I would do cartwheels down my street if we landed Streit.

 

[pahlsson]

wonder if he gets picked up

 

[Angry Little Elf]

That would be a sight! A grown man doing cartwheels down a Kitimat street.

 

[Alan Jackson]

Seems like a bit of an odd move unless we're close to acquiring another defenseman or perhaps calling somebody up.

Say what you will about Barker, he's got NHL experience, and it would be an odd move for a team to risk losing any blueline depth whatsoever ahead of the playoffs.

But who's going to replace him as the 8th or 9th dman? I'm sure Vandermeer is going to get walked around every game

I have a feeling we have a trade in place for a D-man.

 

[arsmaster*]

The epitome of a soft player.

When my 10 year old daughter can identify his soft plays, you know it's evident to EVERYONE who watches.

 

[Max Quackenbush]

Myers, Burns or Johnson (Colorado) is my guess. All RD.

or it could simply mean Kevin Connauton is being recalled.

 

[DadBod]

I see this as nothing more then opening up a roster spot to allow us room for a trade or two

 

[absolute garbage]

Disagreed. One of the worst players I've ever seen.

 

[YogiCanucks]

Barker wasn't all that bad for us. Nothing special. His inability to deal with speed was shockingly poor though.

 

[Jyrki]

Wonder who's coming back. I hope it isn't to claim Montador.

 

[Timmer44]

Myers, Burns or Johnson (Colorado) is my guess. All RD.

What about O'Byrne?
