Barrie & Bouchard on the same roster is redundant.
Bear is our best two-way defender.

So PIT should get rid of Marcus Pettersson because Dumoulin makes him redundant? Funny how people only say stuff like that about offensive players. 🤔

Value > skillset

Frustrating to see bad decisions made because of it

Players having their whole careers devalued also

Blech I say

Hall is not signing for that he wants more term just as Barrie would want. Give Barrie a 5x5 and he accepts. I think we should let Barrie go he is to unreliable in his own end. Also there is no need for Brown when we have Jesse and Yama. Jesse should play 1st line minutes and Yama 2nd line minutes with Draisaitl and Nuge. We should not sign Hall at all I think. Maybe to a 1 year deal at a caphit of 6m.

How many defence-men that can’t defend would you like?
This may be a crazy concept but most teams have D-men that can defend.
Bouchard has the ability to be a massive bargain in a flat cap world
Barrie makes McDavid less effective 5v5 see their xGF
And he’s awful defensively, a legitimate liability.
And our PP is no better than last year with him on it.. it’s actually more effective with Nurse?
He’s piling secondary assists and this fan base thinks he’s valuable, every defense core he’s left has been better off for it.
Oilers shouldn’t pay Barrie, and if they do it’s gunna cost them massively.
