Well we know Barrie on defence sure doesn't so what the hell...

I don't see that working any better. He's too small and doesn't play with the physical element to be effective on a forecheck and isn't dynamic enough with the puck to make up for that. The two D that come to mind that were able to play both were Burns and Byfuglien.. both were physical enough and good enough with the puck that they could play both ends. Not sure if I'm missing any small dman that's made the jump to forward successfully.

Pysyk?

Size difference isn't what I expected (same weight, Pysyk 2" taller). Apparently Barrie is 197lbs... he just plays so much smaller than that.

Honestly one of the dumbest ideas to ever be on the internet. Just wild to think someone could say, “hmmmm, some of the best hockey minds on the planet have had him as a d man for the last 15+ Years, but obviously they were wrong.”

The dumbest idea on the internet was you signing up for an account here

You didn’t actually think that was clever, did you?

Sheesh pal, pathetic.

If you didn't find it funny enough just go to the zoo of a comment section on all of your Armchair GM pages
