Insane Sens trade. Ottawa has no need for Tyson Barrie at all. He's a defensive liability, and an offensive Dman who doesn't drive offense at all. All he does is rack up points and get crushed defensively. Exactly what Ottawa doesn't need.

There needs to be a 2nd at least attached to Kassian for Anaheim to consider eating that contract

that is an absolutely absurd Sens trade. The last thing that the Sens need is Barrie. but even if they did, he doesn’t hold that much value. I wouldn’t trade either of Brown or Joseph one-for-one for Barrie, or Puljujarvi for that matter. The Sens are giving up the two better plays and then kicking in a high pick and a prospect for what… just to be nice? also, Joseph, Marchment, Mikheyev, Yamamoto, Husso, and Ruuta all don’t sign those deals.
