you need to pay johan larsson and bear more than that lol
barrie is a really bad signing. just bring up bouchard
In a normal season Larsson would probably earn more, but I don't see teams jumping to pay him money for 18 points. I feel he might be similar to what happened to Sheahan last season. Bear is RFA with no arb-rights, Stauffer has been constantly hinting that he'll get "screwed" on a one year deal because he has no negotiating power.
As for Barrie, I'd prefer Bouch as well, but not sure he'll be able to immediately take over big minutes. Barrie for a year at 4,25 isn't exactly a bad signing IMO, he has the upside to be great on the PP, and if he really has regressed to what he was with the Leafs you walk on from him next season.

No on leafs trade. Don't need that cap hit.
Just going off some smoke that's been around this here. Khaira's been linked to the Leafs multiple times, he could replace Clifford on the roster. But if they go crazy and sign Pietrangelo or something, that's off for sure. If push comes to shove and the Oilers are able to move out a bit of cap space elsewhere I could also see them retaining like 200k to make this work.
