Confirmed with Link: COL trades Barrie(50% retained)/Kerfoot/2020 6th to TOR for Kadri/Rosen/2020 3rd

[Cousin Eddie]

I do wonder how that's going to play out with a coach like Babcock. Babs isn't a huge stickler about d-men jumping into the play but some of the wandering in Tyson's game may not sit well with him.

That would be awful and would cost Tys millions of dollars on his next contract

Some folks are going to be really surprised when Tyson outproduces Rielly this season after taking his spot on PP1.

 

[Hasbro]

The new toy shine should last him most of his time in Toronto. But can you imagine if Toronto pulls Boston again in the playoffs and Barrie has to defend against the Burgeron line.

Like they'll even get near Barrie with Kerfoot smothering them.

And no one will talk about Kerfoot anymore past Christmas.

He will be in every Leafs proposal come December. Kerfoot + 2nd.

 

[S E P H]

Is Toronto just slow or what? I've never considered Barrie a speedstar, he's a good skater but never thought he was particularly fast.

Look who you're posting, Simmonds is the Genesis of Mike Chambers and Larry Brooks ****bag journalists.

With that said, Barrie is a solid skater.

Haha. I cant wait till NHL season starts.

 

[Freudian]

I would think Rielly is faster than Barrie, but Barrie has that new guy smell to him.

Yeah Barrie certainly isn't a fast skater.
Mobile but not fast.

I'd be fine with that. I know there are some loonies but most every Leafs fan I've met and befriended is perfectly rational. I've found more conflict within Avs fandom (not anyone here though) than I have anywhere else.

In fact, I'd be more than fine with that. That'd be fun as all hell to see Matthews and MacKinnon go at it, Barrie and Makar, etc. So much speed and skill on display...yikes.

I am a Leafs fan and that posters concern is not unfounded. There are more loony posters on HF than sane Leaf fans for sure

It's simple math:

1- Leafs have a huge fanbase
2- Even if you keep the same % of bad posters as any other fanbase, more fans = more bad posters
3- Bad posters tend to be loud

So there are way more Leafs bad posters on HF than, say, Carolina bad posters.

I guarantee that the Leaf fanbase also has more knowledgeable hockey fans than any other fanbase (except maybe Montreal's who's equally big).

That said, f*** your weak ass GM.

Well, there are more loony posters on HF overall than sane ones, which is why I rarely venture outside the confines of this forum.

You say that as though this forum is any better.

I think the hysterical Toronto media and the tendency of stat whackers to go full Boyle over any GM with an analytics pedigree contribute to that.

That said, I don’t think the Leaf fan base is nearly as carried away as they were when blowhard Brian Burke took them along for his ego trip.

Looks miserable walking into an arena without MacKinnon.

Someone should find him that fish.

 

[bohlmeister]

Barrie is really fast. On offense. Never really had much speed defensively.

 

[Foppberg]

Tyson is still an Av. I don't give a f***, he'll never be a stinking Maple Leaf for me.

 

[CobraAcesS]

I'm going to cling to the idea he signs here as a UFA until he does not.

Watch him go to hometown Vancouver though. Just hope if he does sign elsewhere he stays out of the Division lol.

Dude knows he's about to become Gardiner 2.0

I think that's pretty likely. With all the smoke we heard around the draft with them and nothing materializing, it's a safe bet that they were extremely interested.

I think Benning will open up the vaults next summer to bring him in.

 

[cannucky]

more likely he ends up a show piece in Seattle .

 

[MarkT]

Guys, we all know Barrie is signing with one of the other Central teams. The only question is which team.

 

[Ceremony]

He doesn't look healthy in that picture. Bags under the eyes.
