The group ready to buy Barrie the next airline ticket out of town are the ones worrying me. We don't have anyone close to the positives he brings, they just see the deficiencies.
|
I can raise my hand as being one who wanted Barrie gone last offseason. I am glad I didn't get my wish.
I expected;
Barrie to be traded for a top 4 stay at home D
Nurse to be better
Bouchard to replace the offense
Broberg to take a step forward
Kulak and Ceci to defend capably
Leaving;
Nurse-Ceci
New guy-Bouchard
Broberg-Kulak
Which should have been a decent 6 but oh my, has that not worked out...
Barrie being one of our better defenders is exactly the problem. He still isn't good at it yet is better than most of the others we can expect to play that role.
|
My *new* rule is unless they guy is pushed to the 3rd pair or 4th line with reduced minutes, or floats between there, and isn't on the PP or PK with significant minutes... then suck it up and accept he's on the roster for another year until someone pushes him down the lines.
I've been guilty of it in the past as well.
That said, half the roster is expendable by that metric, and wouldn't sneeze if any of them were moved out. But Barrie is still very much in that useful top half by a mile.
Illegitimi non carborundum.
