Hate to break it to you but Tyson Barrie is not that good, at all. I would never trust him with top line minutes. Hes more of a 3rd pair guy who can command a powerplay, his defense is stupidly bad.

Agreed... look at the explanation i put in, i was using him as a salary place holder

Excuse me for being blind lol, my mistake.

All good. I was basically just doing that to show the canes would have plenty of cap for another top RD. it would more than likely have to be another trade since the UFA market is weak at RD after dougie

Cool concept but 6 more years of OEL scares me (even with some retention). Feel like I’d rather give Hamilton 7 years at 8M and find a second pair LD for 3-4 per year instead (if we were to move Skjei or he gets taken in expansion). I get that it’s just another exercise to see what Canes could do if Dougie does walk though, good work.

yeah, OEL for an eternity more is very scary. I love the idea of getting Garland here though. I'd be interested in Barrie on a 2-3 year deal for in the 3-4 mil range tho. sneak him out for 10-12 even strength minutes a night and then PP1 time on top of that. Probably means you cant afford to have Bean and Hakanpaa on the roster as well, thats too many D to have to protect their minutes game to game.
