Yikes.
Barrie is a great player but he doesn't fit the mold for what the Leafs need and after the fleecing the Avs put on Ottawa, I'd rather stay away.
He's all your, NYI!

I don't really understand why we're in on Barrie. We need lefties a lot more than we need righties. Unless Pulock is going the other way, which I would not be happy about. Or Boychuk is more seriously hurt than we realize, but he's on the current road trip and it's been rumored he'll be ready to play after the all-star break.
Sorry, not buying it.

It would be a mistake for the Leafs to be acquiring Barrie. He isn't the type of defenceman that the Leafs need in my opinion. He is a really good defenceman but his style of game wouldn't be something that Toronto needs more of on the back end.

Any interest in something around Pulock+ for Gardiner? The Leafs need to trade a LHD for RHD at some point.

No, we'd be looking to add to our defense. Pulock is playing like a top-4 defenseman, ideally we'd like to put someone next to Mayfield. Gardiner would be a nice add, but Pulock+ is a ridiculous request. Gardiner is good but he isn't THAT good.
EDIT: Whoa, didn't realize Gardiner had strong seasons offensively the last two years. Still no, but I'm more impressed than I originally thought.

Maybe Leafs want to move Gardiner is a separate deal for a center, considering how bad Bozak has been.
Rielly - Zaitsev
Hainsey - Barrie

If the priority is to use three solid pairs instead of finding a top pair partner for Rielly, then they could easily fit Barrie into the lineup.
Rielly-Zaitsev
Gardiner-Hainsey
Dermott-Barrie

You don't believe this rumor, because you're personally unhappy at the prospect of trading Pulock?

For the price you're paying to acquire and the cap hit, Barrie won't be on the bottom pairing. Especially on our defense.
He's just not the type of defenseman the Leafs should be going after.
He is only a year younger than gardiner? with 1.5 million dollar cap hit for only 1 more year..... Not sure why we would give up a lot? anyway why would the AVs get rid of him?
what does colorado want besides a 2C for barrie? if they could get another 1st for barrie that's be great

If Barrie's there, it's not a bottom pairing. Like I said, three solid pairings instead of using a sheltered third pairing.

I don't think we're looking to trade any of our defenseman, other than maybe Hickey. I'd be upset if we move Pulock to get Barrie, but I think we're looking to add a defenseman by moving a forward or draft picks.

Going to love reading what Leaf fans are willing to offer for Barrie. Should be a good one folks.
A puckmoving RHD would be nice, you know, to help us a couple of more years before any of those prospects are realistically ready .
Since the Avs are in a playoff run, not sure why they would be trading Barrie. Assuming that Avs want "immediate help" for Barrie, not sure what the Leafs could offer without hurting their lineup now. Doesn't seem like a real fit for both teams.

We need help on the right side but what we need more than that, is another big, mobile D with a good stick that can win battles down low....or someone who is a clear upgrade over Gardiner and capable of carrying a top-pairing (OEL, McDonagh).
Barrie does not fit either criteria. He's, at best, a useful luxury but not a need. Doesn't make much sense in terms of needs but if the acquisition cost is low, I'd be open to it. The reality is, whatever we have on our bottom-pairing (Polak, Carrick) is not good enough.

I don't know what management would offer, but personally I wouldn't offer anything.
The Leafs need a defenceman who can play defense. We have enough offense up front and on the back-end. We need someone to keep the puck out of the net and that's far from Barrie's calling card.
