Yes! I've been saying this, also call up Hobbs for a couple games.

Yup. Couldn't hurt to give him some ice time and at least it is an audition...or get a 4th rounder for DSP, a 5th rounder for Jaskin, a half-eaten club sandwich for Andre NoHustle-o-kovsky and you've got plenty of roster space.

i think they might be waiting on barber because like you said, they would have to make a little cap space for him, but also he is not waiver exempt so once they call him up, they gotta be pretty confident that he can stay up or else risk losing him on waivers. I think the caps are happy with their 4th line rotation, but I def believe barber is ready for some extended time. What more could he do to prove it?

He could sneak into Nashville tonight and crack Filip Forsberg's knees with a lead pipe....then convince Nashville to trade for DSP and Burakovsky.

Yes I love Barbers game too, he’s always putting the puck on net which stands out on a team that’s fairly selective with their shots. I think he will get his chance next year to replace DSP on a deal similar to Boyd’s.
