Absolutely not.

 

[Prairie Habs]

Player with okay value for a player with no or negative value? Gonna guess Ottawa says no.

 

[LeProspector]

Give me your dealers number. He must have some good shit

 

[Ouroboros]

I'd rather waive Brown than make this trade.

 

[Blacephalon]

wtf. pure trash

And why would Ottawa do this???

Ohhh I heard the Oilers threw in McDavid to sweeten the deal.

And why would Ottawa do this???

Ohhh I heard the Oilers threw in McDavid to sweeten the deal.

But Ottawa's owner was too cheap to pay McDavid so he declined and instead asked for a 2nd

 

[DingDongCharlie]

Yikes for Ottawa. How about we send you Barrie for future considerations and call it a day

 

[The Devilish Buffoon]

Barrie doesn't really make sense for us. I could see something like Brannstrom + Zaitsev for Barrie (not that I would do it) but Brown would take a massive overpayment to pry out. He's probably been our most reliable forward for the past 2.75 seasons.

 

[Akrapovince]

Not close.

Brown is probably worth a first + prospect at the deadline, probably even more with a year remaining, and would be an even bigger haul with 50 or 75% retention.
(Not that Melnyk would green light that)

He would step in and become Edmonton’s best natural RW that can play on all three lines and any situation. So it’s pretty laughable any time there’s a proposal involving Brown to Edmonton with fans claiming they refuse to pay a first rounder for a third line player.

I’ll even go as far to say that he’s probably the better player when comparing him to Hyman. Works just as hard as him, probably better defensively, produces well offensively on a terrible team. I’ll concede the goal scoring but Brown doesn’t play with McDavid and comes at almost half the price if not less.

 

[OilersFanatics505]

Yupp, the kinda trade I expected to see when opening this thread.

 

[SensFactor]

Lolll awful deal. Lock her up

 

[Nac Mac Feegle]

You meant Josh Brown....right?

Why would Brown have no value?

 

[Blacephalon]

Why would Brown have no value?

lol get out of here troll. you know exactly what he means.

barrie has 0 value to the sens. I know oiler fans think barrie has value and maybe he does for a team that needs a d that can't play defense but that team is not the sens.

brown is a contributing player who is also very good defensively. all barrie does is put up ok points and be garbage defensively which is funny because that's supposed to be his main job.

Barrie's main job is on the powerplay and he's dynamite there. Just sayin'.

Barrie's main job is on the powerplay and he's dynamite there. Just sayin'.

Our coach with trust issues isn’t going to deploy anyone else aside from Chabot on our powerplay, and our second unit is mostly in shambles and I don’t think Barrie is the glue that can put the pieces back together.

Your powerplay is much better with Barrie on it. Bouchard isn’t quite ready yet and watching Nurse on the powerplay makes me want to scratch my eyes out.

I don’t see Barrie beating out Chabot or taking any minutes away from him, I don’t want Barrie taking minutes away from Sanderson and Holden has been good on the third pair in a way that I don’t think Barrie could be.

Barrie - Zub could be an effective pair though, would be interested in how they fare. But not quite interested enough to trade from a position of need (RW, veteran, all-situations player, cheap) for an area of potential strength and logjam.
Only 2YR remaining on the contract, but with Sanderson, Brannstrom and Kleven I think we’ll stay pat at LD.

Not to derail the thread, but I wonder how both sides would feel about a Yamamoto and Brannstrom swap?
*edit* Nvm you guys have more of a logjam at LD than we do.

TLDR; Barrie is a good player, and maybe even great player in terms of fit for Edmonton. For Ottawa, not so much, especially at the expense of a 28 year old with an extra year on a palatable contract on pace to score 60 points on a bottom-feeder team.

 

[TeamRenzo]

No interest in losing Brown and no interest in acquiring Barrie

More like Barrie for Murray . If we want to add Brown it starts with a decent prospect + a 2nd or a 1st . Ottawa has no reason to trade a useful player . I would love to add Brown .

Kane McDavid Yamamoto/Puljujarvi
Hyman Draisaitl Puljujarvi
Foegele RNH Brown

all 3 winger on the RW can be moved up and down . Thats a solid top 9

 

[Golden_Jet]

Hard no, on this proposal from Ottawa.

 

[DueDiligence]

Barrie's main job is on the powerplay and he's dynamite there. Just sayin'.

Virtually any D man with a bit of offense would flourish playing with Draisaitl and McDavid. So you're not saying much!

 

[AddyTheWrath]

If anyone thinks Barrie has negative value... I'd kindly ask them to look at the Ristolainens and Gudbransons of the league and see that GMs always value right handed defensemen.

 

[Qward]

You mixed up Josh Brown with Connor Brown
