I really like this roster. I think the problem is not just Barrie's salary cap it is a stylistic one. Barrie is a great offensive defenseman but struggles defensively. If you keep him, you are either asking Broberg (a young D) to cover for him defensively or you're asking Barrie to play 2nd pair and then leaving Bouchard and Broberg on 3rd. Two young D on their own and Barrie covering harder defensive matchups. I think having a more defensively conscious D partner for both Bouchard (Kulak) and Broberg will protect them in the early stages of their careers and help them develop but be a better combination that Barrie's offensive talents. So even if you swapped for someone of similar cap space but with a stronger defensive game, I think that would be a better approach.
