This is really unrealistic

I have seen different iterations of the Subban-for-Barrie scenario on here, and I'm curious what has been up with Barrie this year?
We have a guy in AHL who is close to NHL-ready that will likely replace Subban either after deadline or beginning next year.

What would we be getting if took Barrie instead?

Barrie defensive stats are not as bad people make them out to be, his 5x5 point total suggest an even defensemen, he got 48 points last year which 35 of those were 5x5, his goal differential was positive as well and his PP is really good.
To me it's more about getting money in, money out and a bit better balance of a player defensively, Subban can move up and down the line up, Barrie is better set at 3rd pairing or 2nd pairing.

I think the return for Subban is very fair.

I try to make every trade based on the best information from NHL insiders like Seravalli - Friedman - Dreger - Johnston - Russo - Wyshynsk for examples.

I don't make these trades based on feeling but speculation from these sources and what the team needs, which is why you don't see me trading picks and prospects for John Gibson for example.

The ask for each of those players is already known, is it improbable? ya, is it plausible? also ya.

I think each of these trades could happen and will come down close to what I've offered regardless of where theses players end up.
