<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>yycofred</b></div><div>I've asked this a lot but haven't really gotten a good answer, why would any team want to spend assets on Barrie for the next two seasons? Second assist heavy, his numbers plummet when he's not on the ice with McDavid and essentially a PP specialist at this point. His value is by far the highest it will ever be in Edmonton but it would be way lower if he were playing anywhere else.</div></div>

he is a pp specialist and his only upside is his offensive ability, you nailed it. but (despite what some may think) Barrie is and has been a very consistent and skilled offensive defender for the vast majority of his career and there are a number of teams out there who lack puck moving defenders and/or a defender to run their pp for them.

teams are not gonna pay for him to be a shutdown defender, because that’s not what he is. of they give him sheltered minutes on the third pair and run him as a pp specialist he will likely thrive. especially if it’s a place where he’s needed and put into a position to thrive

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>King_in_the_north</b></div><div>You overpaid for a 3rd, Yanni Gourde will comes cheap, EDM has all the advantage, it will be a late pick or just a Mid Tier prospect
Also, you gave away 1st rounds like Candies, how do Oilers survive without these picks?
Also overpaid Yamamoto for bridge deal, he will get 2x2 just like Bear</div></div>

in theory yes tampa won’t get full value for their wingers, but there’ll be plenty of teams in edmonton’s position who need to upgrade their wings and it’ll start a bidding war for them.

edmonton needs to go all in now, they have a number of solid prospects developing so the team needs to upgrade now to take full advantage of their cup winning window with McDavid and Draisaitl in their primes.

better to overpay in mock teams than underpay
