Lol yes they are going to say that barrie and Klingberg are the same player. i do think that klingberg is a better defender and he would be a good pair with broberg which would lead to broberg being a better player long term. that swedish chemistry is undeniable.

The rumor was that klingberg was the top target of edmonton on defense they tried to get montreal to sign him and retain 50% then trade him to edmonton.

Ya I heard that. Puljujarvi probably would have gone the other way in that trade.

We want a 2023 1st for Klingberg and don’t think we want Barrie since he has no value to us

I mean from a Calgary perspective, if I hate this deal it's probably a really good deal for the Oilers.. Especially after watching 7 games of Kilngberg last playoffs he is a guy you don't want on the ice, he's noticeably doing things every shift that lead to offensive opportunities.

Barrie is a roster player that would do what klingberg is currently doing just like 75% as well.

Yeah, the issue that I have with that is that it helps a division rival in more ways than 1. You get an upgrade plus you get out of the Barrie contract, which, as @generalLandro said, isn't something the Ducks need. When Klinger is inevitably gone, Drysdale will move to the #1 PP unit, which makes Barrie kind of useless to us.

I get it but I would be shocked if the ducks made the playoffs this year so it doesn't matter too much.

Our game last night against the Wings has to be up there for worst coached game of his career, which is saying ALOT

He cant be fired fast enough imo, cant let him negatively impact our young guys before they can get started

I think that's actually the thing that worries me from the Ducks end...Klingberg is absolutely a dynamic offensive threat, and he has absolutely upgraded our powerplay. I just worry that his lack of savy on the defensive end might hold some teams back from paying up for him. That being said, a 2023 1st+ok prospect is what I'd hope to get back in a deal, with a 2nd+decent prospect, similar to the Manson deal, being far more likely.

Yeah, we're absolutely not making the playoffs. It isn't about the fact that we're upgrading your roster this year, it's that by taking Barrie's contract, we're helping you upgrade your D beyond this season by giving you the cap flexibility that you won't currently have.

Keep him so that we can get a guaranteed top 5 pick as his parting gift to us tears of joy I just feel bad for Gibby at this point.

We can do that without him around tears of joy He is going to do so much damage to the future of this team with each day hes allowed to be in charge of the day-to-day. And the longer Verbeek takes to fire him the worse it is on him as well. No idea why he wasnt fired in the offseason haha.

Yeah Gibby is doing everything he can and his numbers are tanking because of how bad this team and the coaching is, he is still so clearly an elite goalie and anyone that disagrees with that just flat out hasnt watched him in the past 3+ years

I don't think rebuilding GMs think like that. I think they look at the buyout and see that it doesn't matter that much to Edmonton next year so they try to weasel in a prospect like Raphael Lavoie. Then they take Barrie and play him the remainder of his contract. Realistically there are not many RD available and they just need a warm body who might be able to put on a show for the fans.

Who would you want to fill in for the year and then who next year as our full time HC?

Meh, if there's a sweetener attached to Barrie, sure, but as it stands in the above offer, I don't think it makes much sense. If anything, the Ducks are going to be adding defensive d-men over the next year.

Yeah, it was an absolute bogey of a decision to keep him around for sure. I'm 75% sure that the idea was to wait for the right coach to become available. Who that might be is beyond me.

You can't start with a good coach when you are rebuilding. You just waste a coach. You are better to just keep a guy who is positive and teaches fundamentals until it is time to win, then get a good coach like Edmonton did with Dave Tippett or rather when they fired him.

I was kind of hoping for Lalonde before he ended up in Detroit. Maybe Benoit Groulx or Mike Vellucci? Ideally? Barry Trotz, but we know that's pretty unlikely. Aside from him, I'd definitely want to stay away from most of the regular re-treads. All of that being said, there's absolutely going to be some surprise firing this year that could net us exactly what we need.

Problem is that Eakins absolutely doesn't teach positive fundamentals. I have no problem with screwing around with the lineup, and trying different things, but last night was 100% the best example of why he shouldn't be coaching this team. Their PP and PK structures were (are) horrible, their zone entries are a mess, and for the 3rd year in a row their d-zone coverage is similar to that PP/PK drill that kids practice when they're learning how to run a powerplay and the defending players all have to flip their sticks upside down. Even in the Boston game last week, where the team fought their way into OT, he turned around an inexplicably through his favourite allstar Derek Grant out there for some good 'ol 3 on 3. Huge bogeys.
