Rebooting myself
The question becomes can we win with rolling out Bear-Barrie and Bouchard long term? IMO Barrie adds an element that the other two don't in terms of his skating and jumping into the play that would supplement our offensive depth and improve the offensive options with our skilled lines. If we could sign Barrie for under $6 million I would probably make that deal and not even care if Jesse breaks out for the Leafs.
Barrie wont take under 6. My guess he will get 7 to 8.
We have enough d running around without adding a big ticket item
We are already talking about trying to give russell away to spend money elsewhere.
We need forwards who can score more than A d man
