Not sure that Calgary would be sending a first round pick in that deal, especially with Barrie being a UFA at the end of the season. The Minnesota deal seems like an over-payment, but probably what it would take to acquire Dumba.

I'm not going to comment on the trades because I think that the important message is delivered in the description. This team is young at its core. They do show their immaturity on the regular and they need to learn how to win properly by competing night in and night out instead of when they feel like it. Until they do we can expect the same results.

This is not on one person or player. It takes a village to be bad. There is no single trade that will "fix" the Leafs. This is about culture, determination and a burning desire to want to achieve collectively. This group is fatal flawed in the way it is constructed and has been all year.

To the OP... Well said. Thanks for posting. I wish more people saw the big picture.

With the hot mess the Pacific is I believe the flames consider them selves deep runners, Barrie is worth a first for any contending team looking to bolster their 2nd PP unit which Calgary definitely should be

Thank you.
