Quick Shifts: Does trading Tyson Barrie really make sense for Maple Leafs? - Sportsnet.ca

A quick mix of the things we gleaned from the week of hockey, serious and less so, and rolling four lines deep. Our entire fan base is questioning the work ethic invested into this week’s column.Before Toronto trades Tyson Barrie out of town, let’s take a little peek at his ice time since Morgan Rielly left the Maple Leafs lineup to take care of his broken foot.

Considering the other options to throw over the boards, the coaching staff either trusts Barrie or is showcasing the hell outta him — and we’re guessing the former. It’s one thing to explore all trade options, especially for an expiring asset, which is what GM Kyle Dubas is and should be doing.

lukefoxjukebox Yes! Trade him as part of a package, Barrie, Bracco and Liljegren for someone like Dumba.

lukefoxjukebox Yes he will be a free agent. Get something for him now.

lukefoxjukebox YES IT DOES

lukefoxjukebox Addition by subtraction....cause he sucks ass

lukefoxjukebox One can never evaluate a trade or the possibility of a trade w/o knowing who the players involved are.If Leafs could acquire a good return to fit in immediately & w/term, then a trade would be advised.A trade just to make a trade..NEVER works!

lukefoxjukebox I like Bob Mckenzie’s take on trading Barrie. ONLY, trade him if you can get a D-man that improves their situation OR get assets that can facilitate the acquisition of that right D-man with term.

lukefoxjukebox Yes

lukefoxjukebox Everything make sense but when you have salary cap your movements have limits. GM's biggest fear is disrupting the dressing room chemistry!

lukefoxjukebox If they can find a buyer looking for an offensive defensemen and willing to give up a more solid defender than sure. Could be a good hockey trade for both teams.

lukefoxjukebox Only if you'd be happy with a bag of pucks and a 10th rounder in return. Go for it, I say.

lukefoxjukebox Yes. Move him on

lukefoxjukebox WHO?too. If Someone WANTS him, they Can Wait till next Year. They Can excercise his (Mike) Demons Then. & NotEveryoneLikesTheLeafd

lukefoxjukebox Yes he’s going to walk away in in the summer better to get something then nothing ! If he walks then you gave Kahdri away for nothing ? What’s better ?

lukefoxjukebox Why would it ? They stink with him , will stink long after he’s gone. It’s the Leafs. Stinking is their hobby.

lukefoxjukebox yes, he is not good at all, he will walk at seasons end cause he will demand more than 6 a year. I would move him at all costs instead of again letting a free agent walk. Let's be honest, looking at big picture of whole season we will not beat Boston, TB, or Wash in first round

lukefoxjukebox His stock is at its lowest

lukefoxjukebox Nope. Also, why ask Leafs fans anything? These people might as well sit home and flog themselves for all the joy they have in their lives.

lukefoxjukebox Unless Morgan Rielly is back on Monday hellno

lukefoxjukebox Not going to re-sign him. So yes get defensive help. Offense isn't the issue with the Leafs.

lukefoxjukebox If they can get someone that can help Andersen and Campbell out, then yes, cuz that's definitely their biggest weakness right now. A defenceman that can clear the front of the net of forwards & rebounds can be invaluble, & he doesn't have to be a big name to anyone but the team

lukefoxjukebox Yes it makes sense. MapleLeafs have a VERY low chance of winning the cup this season. Barrie isn't resigning. Get assets to help develop the team. Trade or FA sign defensive help in the offseason and next year is when the 4-5 year window starts

lukefoxjukebox Send him to Ottawa for Mark Borowiecki and a 2nd round draft pick. NHLTradeDeadline

lukefoxjukebox If they get dumba than it does

lukefoxjukebox Yes . This guy is so much overrated !

lukefoxjukebox no just makes stories for toronto media

lukefoxjukebox I don’t think so not at this point
