Barrie is not a Top 5 dman, come on. That would mean he's ahead of one of Doughty, Karlsson, Hedman, Burns, Weber, Keith, etc. just off the top of my head.
Having said that you have not really asked for a lot for your "Top 5" dman, and if Barrie was a little better defensively i would make that trade. But Leafs can't have a Rielly-Barrie top pairing, they share too many of the same weaknesses (and I'm a big Rielly fan).
Additionally, Colorado doesn't want an older winger that can jet in 1 year as the main piece back in a Barrie trade.
You've also given Brown and Hyman ~ $2M too much $$.
