Tyson Barrie Discussion

[DcW]

Anybody pays Barrie more than gardner they are crazy
Hes far from being even a 6 million dollar man
Get rid of ceci and Barrie as soon as u decide the season is lost
I'd say around jan 1 if we are around 500
Make a cliff fletcher type deal

I agree but I wouldn't wait. If there's a hockey deal out there I'd move on it. It's not working for whatever reason

 

[Goose]

Well, according to Luke Fox in a Sportsnet article, he’s good enough to maybe make a Canadian national team, so what are you all on about?

Sounds to me like he’s basically equivalent to Reilly.

They have to decide if we’re resigning him. I don’t think we are, so it’s kind of madness to have traded Kadri for a one year rental. Maximize the asset while you can. Is Barrie really the difference between winning or losing? Clearly no imho.

Clearly yes imho. We win more games with Barrie off the roster IMO

 

[All Mod Cons]

Like that Dubas figured out Barrie is just what we need in a dman. Been a revelation.

I would consider signing Barrie for league minimum.

 

[TheTotalPackage]

Was expecting way more out of him in every facet. Thought the trade was great and figured if it had to come down to re-signing either Barrie or Muzzin, Barrie would be a slam dunk choice. I no longer think either of those.

Agreed. Would be a good depth piece to call up from the Marlies if Rielly or Dermott get hurt...

To let him walk as a UFA would be a pretty shortsighted mistake.
IMO, I'd move Barrie sooner than later.

I would definitely have Barrie on a Canadian National team........ for the Spengler Cup or as an over-ager for the World Juniors....

Otherwise Fox needs to ease up on the eggnog.

 

[Duffman955]

He played 2 good games this season. I'll give him that.

Unfortunately, we expected more.

Is the Kadri trade the worst trade in a long time?

Kerfoot is a replacement level bottom sixer that is easily replaceable by random players in the AHL and ECHL.

Barrie is a #10D on a successful team. Useless and heartless. Couldn't even hold a candle to an injured Gardiner.

Meanwhile, Kadri has flourished as a high end 2C, and regularly brings the heart and soul that this team sorely lacks.

Yeah that trade will be giving us nightmares for a very long time

Rosen himself has more value than Barrie and Kerfoot sadly

 

[Moonman]

I can't count the number are dumbass plays he made last night.

he looked great in the playoffs last year, but he's turned into a pumpkin for us. I can see why he's always a minus player.

 

[Menzinger]

No he doesnt....

 

[Teeder Keon]

harsh but true

I wouldn’t and didn’t say that at the for sure . I still think it was good to trade Kadri , and I was very excited about the possibilities , but you know hindsight and all that comes with it ...
Man on man if things don’t turn around soon for these two players , it could turn out to be one of the worse for us of all time .

I fully agree, Once the team concedes that they are not going to make the playoffs (looks like they are not) Dubas needs to 100% trade Barrie and Ceci.

Dubas lost BIG trading Kadri for Barrie. Just brutal.

 

[6ix]

If this guy isn’t scoring or setting people up, which he’s barely done either, he’s useless.

To sum it all up, he’s useless. What a terrible dman, it’s borderline embarrassing to watch him in our own end.

Wait a second ...

I thought Leafs fans said Gardiner was a #10D on any successful team, and was useless and heartless?
I thought Leafs fans said Kadri was totally invisible on the 3rd line and cost the team two playoffs in a row?

My bad nvm, I totally forgot Leaf fans have the worst case of recency bias

 

[LeafingTheWay]

I've loved Barrie's play since Keefe tookover. If he keeps it up, re-signing him to a fair contract should be a priority IMO.

Rielly on the other hand ... Most disappointing D on the team this season, and that's saying something considering Barrie was trash under Babcock.

.

You must be watching a different sport if you think Barrie has been good at any point beyond the 2 games after Keefe took over.

I have never seen a player be so poor defensively and offensively
