Friedman: Tyson Barrie | "I could see other clubs trying to pry him out of there"

[Cousin Eddie]

From 31 thoughts.

22. Speaking of Barrie, he took the morning skate in a non-contact jersey in Toronto. Curious to see what will happen with him. I could see other clubs trying to pry him out of there, since Colorado is on a tear while he’s absent. Everyone needs puck-moving D.

Now I personally cant see the Avalanche trading him. Sakic just did an interview with Lebrun last night and stated the importance of chemistry. After the split dressing room last year and the turnaround this year with everybody on one page it adds to the notion that chemistry in the locker room matters. Tyson Barrie is well liked by the team. His best friend on the planet is Nathan Mackinnon who if we're being honest, IS THE TEAM. Plus on top of that Barrie is a top 40 defenseman in the NHL. He was leading NHL defenseman in points when he got injured. He could certainly be of use to the Avs blue line when he gets back.

If however, a team did try to pry him out of there. What would they be proposing?

NJ a fit?

I'd rather not be in the business of "prying" players from teams.

Let's just stick to pouncing on buy-low opportunities. Once our team and its players are more established, we can start looking into packaging for a blockbuster.

From the leafs Lilligren, kapanen, 2018 first, pretty much any prospect in our system is available. No roster players.

If Nylander or Marner isn't coming back, then Barrie isn't leaving. Im not even an Avs fan but this is common sense at this point

Well, sure. He's one of the best PMD's in the league. No doubt many teams would like to try to pry him out of Colorado. Unless and until Colorado knows for certain they've got a replacement for him in Makar or whoever, they have zero business dealing him.
Does Friedman do any legwork these days or is it all stuff in his head?

 

[Weast]

He definitely shouldn't be traded until the offseason, but I'd love a top 6 player for him preferably a center

Good day to you sir

To be fair, these are his 'thoughts' and not a rumor he heard anywhere.
Dont blame Friedman, blame the people here who want to discuss one of his 'thoughts'.

 

[pheasant]

I have 31 thoughts too, Friedman. But you don't see me going around pretending like any of them are actually news.

 

[Uncle Scrooge]

I wouldn't trade him. Avs D is stepping up big time in his absence, but down the stretch they will need him. EJ is the only right handed shot right now, and Barberio is playing 20 minutes.

Team is doing well, in my opinion they don't need to trade anyone. Duchene was the guy, they got a kings ransom and now you want to ice the best team possible.

 

[Mighty Makar]

I don't think he'll be traded until Makar or Timmins is ready.

Did he ask his thoughts to be discussed on a Trades and Rumor's board? Its not on him but us starved fans.
He never claimed his thoughts to be news worthy. He just posted them online for SN.

eg.
Pheasant the peasant thinks guys like Zatkoff will countinue to bounce around the league.
He also would love if Wolski scores the golden goal..
What a guy posting such stuff online!!

Liljegren is likely a better player within 2 years vs Barrie today. This is a massive no. LOL at Marner.

 

[slybel]

Gallager + 2nd ..

Don't think Sakic will move the guy currently, and if he does, I doubt it would be for futures. During the Duchene trade (the night the news broke that the deal had collapsed) he said Colorado would have gotten a bunch of futures, and he got the sense futures was sort of Sakic's second choice and Sakic would have / might (since the trade went through) use some of those futures as "currency" to acquire roster talent in the future. Point being, the Duchene trade eventually went through, Sakic got a bunch of futures, and I don't think Sakic wants more picks and prospects. He probably wants to trade a few picks and prospects actually. If Barrie is moved I'd expect Sakic would want a near 1 for 1.

Liljegren will be lucky to be holding Barrie's jock strap in 2 years

 

[seafoam]

Yeah they are playing well without him, but that doesn’t mean they are better without him.

Keep Barrie, he provides another veteran top four guy behind Johnson on the right side. that’s key

Haha, no. Liljegren won't be a top 5 scoring defenseman in 2 years, possibly ever. Barrie was neck and neck with Klingberg at the time of his injury and has consistently put up a lot of points each season.

This is just precious

Well said, I suppose. But I am not paid to write about hockey. Nor are my posts published on a sports network's official website. Nor am I listed as an "insider" on that website.

If every sports reporter presented their thoughts this way, we would have a never-ending sea of garbage to sift through to find any legit NHL news.

Homerism at it's finest.


Hilarious. Liljegren will be better then one of the leagues very best offensive Dmen in the league, and he'll do it within 2 years.


Drink that Kool-Aid, it fits you well.
