Not enough for Barrie but my god I love the eberle deal

True, what do you think would have to be added in the deal? A reminder though that Barrie is more of a PP quarterback than a top-2 Dman. Placed him in that slot just to play with McD. So the offer would be less than a player like Faulk.

there isnt anything even remotely close to what the Avs would be asking for in a Barrie deal.

Since it was reported during the summer Oilers were offering Reinhart, Yak, and a pick for him but the Avs wanted Draisaitl, you can see where the the value would be lying in b/w those packages of low balling and asking for the moon. That trade is still dramatically low balling.

Hes still a top 10 offensive Dman in this league (look at his point production stacked up the last 3 seasons) RHD signed long term. There is huge value in that

He has his warts on the Defensively side of the puck, however what it comes to moving the puck and producing offence, there are few as effective as him

Exactly Barrie is tremendous offensively but he lacks defence. I think I'd go all out and since they want to rebuild I'd give them nuge and a second round pick with mark fayne

And I can also maybe add another prospect to get grigeranko

Hes not unless defensively, but he has his challenges as a smaller Dman, and can be caught puck chasing if a bigger team is cycling down low on him. However his ability to actually skate the puck out of the defensive zone is top notch. If the fwds know what they are doing, he can get the puck out of trouble with his skating or passing.

I dont think the Avs want to rebuild or will be rebuilding. They have a decent core of players but need better guys around them. Bigras, Compher, Greer, Jost, and a top 4 pick will all be coming up soon. They dont need to tear it down but do smart trades. If they get a deal they can't refuse bc someone is over paying then I can see them taking it. Friedman mentioned it last HNIC when talking Duchene, they aren't doing any deal unless its clearly obvious that the return is a home run. More lateral no futures.

I dont think they would want anything to do with Nuge, I would assume they would want Davidson or Nurse as the main piece in a package for him if they Oilers were serious. My guess would be a 1st and Nurse to get them interested. Oilers dont like it well move onto another Dman since Avs dont have any many any moves, they have their most valuable trade pieces locked up to good contracts.

That's true also. I wonder if we could target Justin Faulk since Carolina has a decent amount of d men.

Carolina is the one team that could afford to move an NHL Dman. They have some real solid ones already on the roster, and then have guys like Jake Bean and Haydn Fleury in their pipeline.

I wonder if they would take eberle with 2,000,000 retained an a second for Faulk or you think that's to much ?

Ok true that they might be asking for a better main piece, I did say that he is an amazing PP quarterback and drives the play in the offensive end but yeah in the D zone and net front is where his game is shaky.

@coga16: Davidson is not a main piece in any package whatsoever. I think maybe Klefbom would get moved rather than Nurse.

@Dylan: Faulk would be more expensive to acquire.

Barrie would be perfect for the Oilers transition game. He would allow the oilers to have two solid D pairings for playoffs as well.

Of course you love the Eberle deal because it's a completely unreasonable trade. Why would Carolina even consider that deal?

All im saying is Barrie has value and Avs arent moving a guy who is locked up for 3 more seasons to take lesser Dmen back and get worse. Teams really have to come to the table with cant refuse over paying proposals. Thats the only way I see him being moved

True true

Yeah I don't care about them.

Jk, haha, I thought of doing that trade because of "change of scenarios", and because Ebs would fit the Canes style of play and vice versa. Yeah there really might not be any reason to do that trade other than what I mentioned from the Canes perspective.
