Montreal will take all of that but give you nothing in return. We get players, picks, and space - you get money.

Barrie for future considerations. Take it or leave it

No, none of that is possible.



That's such a stupid move for Montreal. The absolute last thing they need is a 30 year old PP specialist D-man that's more of a 4-6 D at ES earning 4.5 mil for another 3 years. Montreal already has way too much money and term tied up in middle to bottom of the lineup veterans.

Barrie is a perennial 50-point defenseman on a great contract. You aren't getting him for nothing.

Two of the last 3 seasons were artificially shortened, remember?

We watch him too you know. We're very happy at the prospect of not getting him.

And I'm just as happy at the prospect of keeping him.

Yeah, all I know is that Edmonton cannot afford Barrie and Foegele. I picked Montreal because its powerplay is abysmal - no offence (and I mean that literally: Montreal's powerplay has no offence :P), because it has cap space, and because it needs a RD. I do not agree that Barrie has zero or negative value. In 2020-21, he scored 48 points in 56 games and QB-ed a historically successful powerplay. He is really delivering in the playoffs and his defence has really improved.

I think Foegele was a great player in Carolina, but he has not really found much chemistry in Edmonton. I think some team will want him.

Should have known better than to propose a trade with Montreal - all you get is salty comments!
