Habs ain't doing that

I don't think they'll get a 1... what if it's Bourg instead.

habs rumoured to want Barrie to establish a PP threat.

Edmonton would be stupid to trade bourgault for a defencemen.

Derek ryan won't get traded for simmonds he is edmonton's second faceoff guy.

Habs are NOT rumourd to have intrest in barrie

I tend to agree, but it's not that bad, just the wrong specific parts.
Edmundson for a complimentary vet RHD to one of our younger guys + a prospect and pick would be fine.

The RHD has to be someone who is okay with taking a role where their only job is to prop up their partner. I don't see Barrie doing that.
Another undersized LW is far from appealing. A 2nd is fine if at least one of those other pieces have enough value to us.

Taking on extra 1M for a prospect who won't even be in out top 25 prospects and a late 2nd isn't enough

It might be if Barrie helped our LD develop and the prospect was someone we believed had strong potential for a future role.
There are ways to develop which go beyond collecting 1st round picks and top prospects. A package similar but with pieces we desire would be sufficient at worst.

Yeah barrie will teach our young core how to be responsible im his own zone, not
