Why we want Barrie.. When we could sign klingberg who's better & bigger (which fits Stevie teams) for just a cap hit not losing assets
Just one final comment. Klingberg has been absolutely horrible at defending the last 3 seasons. The worst defender by far in Dallas every year the past 3 seasons, but he is 6’3”.
Tyson Barrie has been above average at defending in Edmonton/Toronto in the past 3 seasons, easily one of the best 4 in Edmonton at defending the past 2 seasons. He was mostly very good in the playoffs. Klingberg has been giving up A LOT the past 3 seasons, he is -53 in that span. On a good at defending Dallas defense, that is brutal. For context, the 2nd worst top 6 in Dallas has been Heiskanen at +8.
In the same time span, which includes his crap deployment Babcock games, where he actually was brutal, Barrie is even. However, he was a lot better after Babcock left.
Also, FYI, Barrie is 197 lbs, while Klingberg is 190 lbs. JK’s height doesn’t help him defend….
Just want you to be aware, there is a reason no team has signed him yet, the last thing the Wings need are more crappy defenders and if he does land there, you will be in for a ride awakening……
