<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Tintin</b></div><div>The Devils should definitely take this if offered.
Don't see why MTL would do that trade in the first place however.</div></div>

Because this is they have no offense coming from the defense:

Erratic Matheson - finally had a 30 pt season
KHL Wideman - 3 of 7 years a full-time NHLer
Also -25, worst on team
Edmunson - 26 goals over 7 seasons
Savard - Over 30 pts, 8 yrs ago
Harris - 10 NHL games
Barron - 5 NHL games

Barrie: 2 years younger than Wideman and would be a superior PP option. Mtl has offensive weapons, a PP QB like Barrie would really help this team that has a DCorpse lacking experienced NHLers. 50% are essentially AHL quality.

The best defense, as per SC Cup Champion Darryl Sutter is to possess the puck more than the other team. Barrie halos a lot with that. Seems to be a no-brainer to me, but Habs fans are loving 1st Overall picks…

Montreal goes after Barrie? Bahaha that's funny.
Cash strapped AZ who was locked out of their building, and offices for not paying rent. ,Also owing back taxes to city and State.. They are going to lay out 2.6 million for a 3,5 and a guy drafted 6 years ago with 20 NHL games, while giving up 1 of 2 remaining retention spots? This is pure fantasy Island stuff . Boss the plane, the plane boss.</div></div>

Oh good, another well-informed and opinionated hockey fan, eh?

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SMH</b></div><div>Can you imagine thinking habs would be the team sending a pick in a barrie evans trade, lol</div></div>

I know, right? Because Wideman is a superior defenseman and because of Barrie’s first 3 months where he was used incorrectly by Babcock the Great in Toronto has influenced fan opinion. He got 39 points in 70 games that year. What Habs Dman will come close to that?

Over the past 7 years Barrie has been a top 10 offense-generating NHL RHD and is on a value contract. He is an uncommon commodity, full stop. That is worth a lot, especially to a team with nothing for offense (except for NHL part-timer Wideman) on the back end.

Clearly Barrie is worth a helluvalot more than a 4th liner. Barrie averages more points in a season than Evans has in his career.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Mike</b></div><div>Why we want Barrie.. When we could sign klingberg who's better &amp; bigger (which fits Stevie teams) for just a cap hit not losing assets</div></div>

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……

Sujet: Playoff Line Up vs Avs
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hullsy09</b></div><div>I completely disagree. One of the few things Colorado lacks is that Jordan Staal, Philip Danault level shutdown Center. Kadri and Mackinnon aren’t even at that two-way level of other stars like Crosby or Bergeron. I don’t think they would have any answer if you put out the Kane-mcjesus-drai line</div></div>

Woody’s been an actual wizard at moving around his chess pieces, it will be an interesting thing to see how he lines things up.

I think the key to McDavid’s ability to go supernova in the last few games vs LA was because he spread the talent out and did not have load up one line and overplay them. This team has enough depth, if set up properly, to give 29 and 97 more rest, so they don’t burn out from being overplayed and beaten up.

I love this match-up. It will be a very fast-paced series.
