It’s been really nice having a D who can start the offence and keep it going.
Barrie can play with high offense players pretty seamlessly. He did it with MacKinnon in Colorado and he fits right in with McDavid and Draisaitl. He shows up on the scoresheet a lot as is, but even so, I think he makes a lot of good plays with the puck to keep the flow going that don’t show up on the score sheet. The puck isn’t going to die on his stick on the offense.
For a guy who takes a lot of flack for his defense over his whole career, I still think he’s underrated. It’s hard to find a defenseman who can roll with these guys. McDavid is scoring at a staggering 1.81 PPG right now. I think Barrie is a big part of that. We haven’t had a defenseman like this since the Visnovsky/Souray days. It’s unlocked another level from these guys.

This reminds me of a play in front of Smith. Barrie had 2 Canucks all over him and he calmly made a couple crafty moves and wired it up to the red line to an Oiler by the wall.
I'm not used to seeing that on this team. Typically it's a quick scoring chance/goal or an ensuing extended fire drill to get the puck out.

I know that exact play and loudly said a word that cant get past the swear filter as he turned to whip it through the slot. Had big eyes when it was tape to tape to a waiting Oiler.
My PTSD of the last decade or so quickly saw it being picked off and in our net but am cautiously optimistic that I will see that play start in the future and smile in anticipation of a positive outcome.
Barrie has been improving every game in my eyes. His offense is obvious but on the defensive side there have been less moments each game that result in a scoring chance against.
Without paying a kings ransom it is impossible to have a puck moving D without some holes in our own end but Barrie is one of the best in the league right now in his pay range.
