Why would they do this? It’s horrible for them.

If he’s out for season I wonder if that would make bear very interesting option for them. Sign Barrie best offensive d man have had since coffee I don’t see why people think he’s expendable just because we have bouch who has never ran a pp in the nhl can take him a few years to get where Barrie is today.

Why on earth would we trade barrie. He's been a huge part of our success. We can easily acquire a 3C for picks

We aren’t just going to fix the team at the deadline. It’s going to be a slow methodical approach that builds this team right. Barrie is the puck moving defensemen Edmonton has been waiting for for 10 years and you want to trade him.

For the playoffs and their all UFA and end of season

Just thought its interesting to talk about it. I am a big Barrie fan, but next year if we re-sign him one of our 4 RD has to be moved and with Nurse due a huge raise the year after and if Klef comes back Barrie might not get resigned.

Oilers can't do anything. They are at the cap and have no picks. The AA trade ruined any hopes of trading futures and Barrie is untouchable rn

They have like 2 ufas that are useful to the team at the end of the year. Duclair is a rfa barrie a ufa who’s has absolutely zero value to Florida since they have yandle. Duclair and wenneberg gate worth more than this return

It’s not an Issue moving a RD you could get a goaltender or a good forward. As for the Klefbom thing I think what I would do is plan to not buy out Neal next year and if Klefbom comes back then your backup plan is you do. 2022-23 is the big cap crunch year but I think Edmonton will have enough entry level contracts to get through it.
