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.



I’ve been on record saying one new dman doesn’t change a thing… but if this were somehow their d pairings, I think it would be a massive improvement;

Nurse-Barrie
Chychrun-Bouchard
Kulak-Ceci


I disagree. One D-man does make a difference if they are true top 4 shut down D. Pushing the lesser able players one spot down takes a huge level of responsibility of of those guys and changes the entire dynamic of the blue line.
I am on the fence if Chychrun is that guy. I know he is the popular trade target over the last 18 months but I don't watch enough Coyotes hockey to know if he defends at a high enough level to make a huge difference.


That’s a fair point. He’s not a shutdown guy.


At this point I would accept slightly above average
