Friedman: Leafs have received calls on Tyson Barrie

[Rob Brown]

Lol. Trying to dump him already.

It literally says the Leafs have received calls but have rejected the idea. How is that "trying"?

 

[trellaine201]

There will be a new coach before 20 players are traded. Much easier to dump one.

 

[The Winter Soldier]

You are a Leaf fan. You have been watching. He has scored some nice goals. He has been fiesty. His line with Soup and Moore has been the Leafs best on some nights and certainly the most consistent. If Barrie ever gets goig in Toronto, we are in good stead.

Still didn't explain how Kerfoot has been very good in Toronto. He's 10+ pts off his average pt total when he was with Colorado. Sakic won that deal, it was a fleecing. Kadri is on a 60+ pt pace while Barrie has been a disaster, and Kerfoot is 10+ pts off his career average. So to get back to the point, if Dubas deals from a position of weakness as he is right now, with his track record, it may turn out worse for him than even him dealing a first rd pick to Carolina this upcoming summer.

Hakstall?

 

[34]

Trade him please. Get him out of Toronto!

 

[PromisedLand]

this just proves how bad of a gm kyle dubas is.

 

[avsfan9]

... and we have Kadri for another 3 years.. awesome

 

[Warden of the North]

Hakstall?

It will be Sheldon Keefe. Hes Dubas' guy and has done everything the organization could have asked for in the AHL with the Marlies

My money is on this Monday coming.

I told you why Kerfoot has been and that Barrie has been poor. The Carolina pick is conditional if they draft this year it will be between 11-31 next year will if next year it is unconditional admittedly a poor trade but his hands were tied on that one, his bounus was due the next day and we didn't want it on our cap. But you got Dubas with that one, bad trade, inherited problem. But yeah Kadri is in the 50-60 point area when he plays 80 games or so. He is a good player. But a fleecing is a bit of a stretch. It hasn't been close to a season yet.

 

[Menzinger]

It certainly wouldn’t be smart of them to do it, but there have been rumblings around his name for a while now.

Not from any sources with any connections with Leafs management.

 

[Menzinger]

Barrie's a pure rental that's going to want a huge extension, and he has been pretty awful this year for the Leafs. I don't know that they'd get back much for him, relative to what they paid for him.

He so makes less than 3 million.

If a team wants him theyll have to pay something of value

[OVO16]

Hamonic/Barrie makes sense

 

[OVO16]

Kadri is a beaut.

Him single handily pissing off the whole sharks' organization was a sight to behold, among other things of course

 

[Leaf Fans]

this just proves how bad of a gm kyle dubas is.

Teams calling about Barrie suggests proof of being a bad GM?

 

[supsens]

Wow Dubas with another leak... not gonna work sorry bro

Lol “sorry you need to up the anti my phones been blowing up all week”

I hope the other GM’s call, do some heavy mouth breathing and hang up

 

[elitepete]

Hasn't Barrie been pretty adamant about going to FA? He's going to be a pure rental, right?

Yup. Definition of a pure rental. He is going to sign with whatever team gives him the highest dollar figure on July 1.

 

[Volica]

Hamonic/Barrie makes sense

Kind of wondering if there's a bit of a dual-team shake-up trade that can be made between the two franchises to get each one going.

Hamonic and Barrie kind of make sense. Both guys are struggling this season, but have brought much higher levels of play in the past. Hammer would slide in well with Rielly, and give him an actual NHL caliber partner. Barrie could slide into Giordano to give him a rich-man's Brodie as a partner. It's also assure Calgary that Rasmus Andersson is playing in the top 4 every night, because he is an absolute rockstar.

I find the premise of this thread interesting, because recent acquisition Justin Faulk in St. Louis doesn't seem to be working out either. Now, that is where the similarities between the Faulk and Barrie situations end, as Faulk is signed for several more years. Still, I find the idea of a Blues-Leafs swap involving Faulk intriguing, as Armstrong and Dubas have been trade partners previously. The thing is, I am not sure if the Blues would want Barrie as part of the deal. Perhaps they could "flip " Barrie at the TDL, or perhaps involve another team as part of a three way deal. Obviously, I haven't thought this all the way through, I'm just throwing ideas around right now.

It doesn't say anywhere the Leafs are looking to get rid of him.

Well no one is able to know the leafs are being called without this story being leaked so it would appear this is them throwing the line in the water looking for a bite

 

[Rogue Leader]

He is my comic relief! I love that poster and he is a Leaf fan. He just loves the character he plays.

Yeah. that is why I don't have him on ignore. I quite enjoy reading what he writes, actually. He is the type that will search statistics for 2 hours until he finds something that supports what he thinks and will clinch to it. But I think I am giving him too much attention now. Have a good Sunday, dude!

 

[TeddyBare]

Not surprising

This trade has backfired, as Toronto could really use Kadri's energy right now.
