Value of: Oilers-Avs

[Sniped90]

Just wondering if avs would be interested in barrie? just thinking avs need help on rd and oilers need help on either center or rw. so i was thinking about a deal that revolves around kadri for barrie with other pieces involved. deal helps both sides imo just wondering if both sides would be inclined to do such a trade. it could put drai and mcdavid together permanently and kadri could center the 2nd line with hyman and nuge as wingers. i know that leaves yamamoto on the outside which could so a deal with someone like zona, ott, maybe seattle? i dont know though, love yams heart just seems like hes might just be in need of a destination change.

Avs need forward depth my dude, and they already have a surplus of D (when healthy).

 

[Three On Zero]

If Colorado wanted Barrie they would have kept him

 

[Oblivion Beckons]

Avs are definitely not interested in Barrie. Avs forward depth is the real issue. They have a second line that doesn't have a true second line player at right wing. They have a third line that is a jumbled mess made up of fourth liners.

I could see Ottawa being interested in Barrie...

To Edmonton: Connor Brown (50% retained), Zaitsev

To Ottawa: Yamamoto, Barrie


Edmonton get a veteran middle 6 RW for under 2 million, plus a veteran bottom 4 RD with the same cap hit and remaining years as Barrie

Ottawa get a young middle 6 RW, plus a veteran RD to quarterback their powerplay

all good just see behind makar they really dont have anyone and on the oilers bouchard is #1 right now a=so that makes barrie expendable to a degree so i thought that it would make sense from that point of view, but at the same time just looking at the roster it seems like fwds would be the least of the issue and more less goaltending. but i dont watch avs hockey so i cant really say. so i just mods could shut this down then if fwds are the issue at hand here.

Barrie is better than zaitsev and brown isnt an oilers style rw not only that hes not close to a top 6 on a contender. youre better off having kassian play 2nd rw. and that package alone is worth more than what ottawa is giving tbh

 

[Czechboy]

Barrie for Kaut!

Fine, we'll call Brown a "middle 6 RW"

He's been scoring at a 51 point pace per 82 games since joining Ottawa... any contender would be happy to add that level of production to their lineup for only a 1.8 million cap hit

Brown would be a steal for any real contender for his production VS. cap hit

Not a bad offer.. would rather do Yamo for Brown and we add futures though.

 

[thadd]

Edmonton doesn't need help at center or RW.
They need a long term option in net.

 

[TS Quint]

If Barrie isn’t your #1D on the PP he shouldn’t be on your team. If you don’t use him for what he is good at you are using him for what he is bad at.

1. Brown is DJ's favorite forward
2. Melnyk won't retain

Doesn't make sense

 

[Spilot23]

If we're spending money or assets that needs to be for depth scoring. Our last non-topline player that has scored was Helm 9 days ago

If Colorado wanted Barrie they would have kept him

We all know it isn't as simple as that. We know Sakic traded him, but that very well could have been linked to expected contract demands. If Sakic knew Barrie was going to want a huge contract, then of course he moved him. Barrie isn't a defenseman that is worth 6M, even though his offense suggests he might be. Barrie at his current contract though, is a far different story.

 

[Draiskull]

Oilers would need a top 4 RHD if they traded away Barrie. Oil dont need more forwards at the expense of D

Yamamoto for Brannstrom

Barrie for Greenway.

Sakic also knew he had Makar joining the roster, which was going to cut into Barrie's offensive chances. Makes it hard to give him the money he wants, or to convince Barrie to extend for less when also simultaneously pushing him into a lesser role. And the Avs had a need for a 2C. There were a lot of factors that went into it, but they all point toward the trade being the smart choice.

 

[AvroArrow]

So Colorado gave Barrie away for Kadri and now they should give Kadri back for Barrie ?

Well thought out proposal. Count this Oil fan in as a guy who'd pull the trigger. Brown is a clear upgrade on Yammie and a former junior teammate/buddy of McDavid's.... not to mention one of the better defensive forwards in the game.

Zadorov is a bit of a downgrade from Barrie, but if it means we get to see Bouch Bombs on PP1, it's a huge win.

 

[Patagonia]

AVs need Forwards.

Barrie is a PPS Specialist an not needed with Makar, Girard, Toews and Byram.

Barrie at his contract now still isn’t worth it for Colorado, he was expendable and redundant

 

[The Moose is Loose]

I really liked Barrie in Colorado and I like him in Edmonton now. He fills an important puck moving role for the Oilers and even though he has his defensive warts being able to move the puck up the ice quickly to their star forwards has improved Edmonton drastically. Oilers should keep him, he is in an ideal spot right now getting 3rd pairing minutes and 1st unit PP time.

There is no interest in Barrie from Colorado. We have already have superior versions in Makar/Girard and if we were to add any players, it'd definitely be depth forwards, the Avs' dcore is too full as is.

The Rangers have slightly grumpy but altogether still talented Kravtsov. He just needs an organization to stand behind him. Rangers always screw their rookies by signing UFAs who will be gone in a season or two and play them over the rookies. We trade players away before they even get a fair shot. Players like Marek Zidlicky, Jonathan Marchessault, Marc Savard, Ryan Graves, Lauri Korpikoski... at worst, he's a top 9 player who will be able to kill penalties. I'm beginning to think Kravtsov will follow in the steps of Frolov and Zherdev. Great talent. Packs in 3-4 really good seasons. Disappears and runs off to Russia so that sort of window of talent could really help out a club, especially if they sell off at the end.
